On December 28, 2022, Damien Shields would confirm on the X social media platform, that "Remember What I Told You" was recorded in Las Vegas, 2008, it lasts ninety seconds and is rather incomplete. In it, Michael is mentioned to sing over a piano, although a lot of the vocal parts feature "do do dee dee", as the lyrics were likely in an unfinished state.
| “ | Recorded 2008 [...] it's a somewhat comparable vibe to Speechless. Remember What I Told You is nicer, IMO. It had potential to be really special. I wish he'd been able to finish it. Alas. [...] It's an incomplete demo with "do do, de de" parts. It starts acapella, but MJ asks for playback. And so then he sings with a piano. The end has multi-layered MJ vocals and finger snaps. It's like 90 seconds in total. Short but very sweet. Fans deserve to hear it. They'd adore it. [...] "Remember What I Told You" seems like an "idea" MJ had, but never fully fleshed out. As for lyrics... "Remember what I told you, and remember for all time. Do do do do do do do do, dee dee dee dee dee dee. | ” |
