Tank Makes a Comeback with New Single “Remember Me”
It’s been over a year since Tank released his “final” album, R&B Money, but the R&B General is back.
Tank’s Announcement and Release of “Remember Me”
Late last week, he announced his new single, “Remember Me,” was coming. “Monday.. Get the f**k out the way!,” he wrote on Instagram. Right on schedule, the new “not for sale” single came by way of a new visual.
A New R&B Anthem: Tank’s “Remember Me”
As soon as you hear the opening piano chords, it’s clear that Tank made an R&B version of “Dreams And Nightmares.” Dressed like Jodeci in the “Cry For You” music video — complete with a sleeveless leather vest and singing in the desert — Tank is also making sure beggin’ R&B is alive and well.
Director Tiki noted, “When Tank tells you he wants a mic hanging from the heavens you find a way to make it happen.”
Lyrics and Themes in “Remember Me”
On “Remember Me,” he sings, “They say nice guys always finish last/ But girls like you only see the bad/ This time you mighta moved too fast/ Look at you now.”
Tank continues to assert himself as top dog as he later sings, “I was tryna live/ You was tryna survive/ You was just finessin’ for the ride/ I was just respectable/ You told me I was weak/ Kept you manicured, so you would look good on your feet/ I was there for you but you was really for the streets/ When you finally get what you deserve, you gon’ remember me.”
“Heard you on the phone/ Talkin’ to your girls/ Saying he’s so whipped/ He’d give me the world/ Then you trick and hit your lick/ left me in December/ You a cold little—,” he barked on the second verse before breaking the fourth wall by staring into the camera.
