'''''Remember My Song''''' is the fifth studio album by British musician [[Labi Siffre]]. Released in 1975, it was the first of Siffre's two albums released that year, the other being ''Happy''.
Despite having some notable backing musicians such as [[Big Jim Sullivan]] co-producing, [[Brian Bennett]] of [[the Shadows]] on drums, and [[Chas & Dave]]<ref name="chasndave" /> who would become well-known in their own right,<ref name="allmusic" /> the album did not chart.
The album garnered a resurgence of interest in 1999, when its opening track "[[I "*****" The...]]" was sampled by American rapper [[Eminem]] on his first hit "[[My Name Is]]",<ref name="nme">{{cite news |last1=Jones |first1=Lucy |title=When Sampling Goes Wrong |url=https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/when-sampling-goes-wrong-761965 |work=NME |date=27 September 2012 |access-date=26 March 2024 |archive-date=4 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/2023120...ogs/nme-blogs/when-sampling-goes-wrong-761965 |url-status=live }}</ref> eventually leading to the whole album being reissued in 2006.<ref name="allmusic" />

The album lingered in obscurity for many years until 1999 when the beginning song "[[I "*****" The...]]" was [[Sampling (music)|sampled]] by the American rappers [[Eminem]] and [[Dr. Dre]] for Eminem's first hit single "[[My Name Is]]".<ref name="nme" /> The hook played by Hodges and Peacock featured prominently and was heavily repeated throughout the single in a replayed sample.<ref name="chasndave">{{cite news |last1=Wilson |first1=Chris |title=Gertcha!

"I "*****" The..." was also sampled a few years earlier by another American rapper [[Jay-Z]] on the track "Streets Is Watching," from his 1997 album ''[[In My Lifetime, Vol. 1]]'', although he used a different part of the song than Eminem.<ref name="guardian">{{cite news |last1=Jonze |first1=Tim |title=‘I had the perfect life – then both my husbands died’: singer Labi Siffre on love, loss – and happiness |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2...singer-labi-siffre-on-love-loss-and-happiness |date=31 Jan 2022 |access-date=26 March 2024 |archive-date=30 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/2024013...singer-labi-siffre-on-love-loss-and-happiness |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Crying Laughing Loving Lying - Labi Siffre |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/labi-siffre-crying-laughing-loving-lying/ |website=Pitchfork |access-date=1 May 2024}}</ref>
