Remember Me (Coco song)

The song is performed variously within the film by Benjamin Bratt, Gael García Bernal, Anthony Gonzalez, and Ana Ofelia Murguía.

This song was featured in ABC's 2020 television special The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II performed by Christina Aguilera, Miguel and Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea.

The song was originally written by his partner Héctor Rivera (Gael García Bernal), and was first introduced as a mariachi arrangement, as a plea from Ernesto to his fans to keep him in their minds even as he tours in other places.

The team researched popular Mexican music, and wanted to write a song that could have been sung by Jorge Negrete or Pedro Infante.

[1] "Remember Me" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song (with this win, composer Robert Lopez becomes the first ever double EGOT winner).
