"U Remind Me" is a 2001 single from Usher's 2001 album 8701. It was the first US single from the album (as "Pop Ya Collar" was only included in some editions of 8701). The song samples Mary J. Blige first #1 R&B hit "You Remind Me" from her album "What's The 411?" The single topped the United States Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, and reaching the top five in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The song is about a man who meets a woman who seems like a nice catch, but he decides not to get with her because she looks too much like an ex-girlfriend whom he had a bad break with.
The song won Usher his first Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2002.
