"Remembering You" is a song by American contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman.
Written and composed by Chapman, Caleb Chapman, and David Campbell, it was released in August 2005 as the first single from the soundtrack album Music Inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), a collection of songs recorded by contemporary Christian music artists that was released to promote the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to Christian audiences.
"Remembering You" received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the sound and considered it a highlight of the album.
In promotion of the December 2005 release of the Walt Disney Pictures film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, adapted from the novel by C. S. Lewis, Disney sought to promote the film to Christian audiences, as the original novel had become widely popular among this audience due to its spiritual themes.
