Music video and song meaning
The music video features Hoobastank performing in front of a group of high school students sitting in desks working in a football field. Throughout the music video, various students are shown in a yearbook. The music video was directed by Vem & Tony.[citation needed]
The song is about a fake friend[citation needed] who Hoobastank's vocalist Doug Robb had during high school. Doug Robb said that he had his own group of friends and also said that if he went back to high school now, his teachers wouldn't recognize him.[citation needed] The song "Remember Me" is about somebody who won't hang out with you, but when you become famous, would definitely hang out with you.[2]
