 ==Overview==
-Leading on from [[Maria]]'s feelings in "[[Oh Jonas]]", [[Jonas]] pleads with Maria to remember that he is only a friend and that he can't possibly settle down with her, just like he says in "[[You Won't Get With Me Tonight]]". Unlike that song however, Maria is stubborn and attempts to change Jonas' mind, who eventually succumbs.
+"Please Remember" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and likely first demoed in February of 1995, at a studio in Hamburg, Germany, where Weezer had to stay for a week to allow bassist Matt Sharp to fly back to the United States after his father suffered a stroke. The song was intended as an interstitial track for the unrealized concept album ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''. Cuomo pitch-shifted his vocals to sing the character of [[Maria]]. "Please Remember" immediately follows the track "[[Oh Jonas]]." In the song, [[Jonas]] pleads with Maria to remember that he is only a friend and that he can't possibly settle down with her. The lyrics to the song were released by Cuomo to his blog in the 2000s, and the song was officially releaased in [[2008]] as part of the compilation album ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]''.
-The lyrics to the song were released by Rivers on his blog, but he failed to note the order in which they are sung. Karl Koch has since divulged that the song uses back and forth dialogue between Jonas and Maria much like "Who You Callin' Bitch?". "Please Remember" saw official release on ''Alone II'' in [[2008]].
