The lyrics focus on themes of nostalgia and "love at first sight," merging the narrative of MJ’s "Remember the Time" with the tension of Collins’ "In the Air Tonight":

The remix features a "call-and-response" effect where Phil Collins’ lyrics ("I remember, don't worry") appear to answer Michael Jackson's questions ("Do you remember?").
