Background

In an interview with the Official Charts Company, she talked about how she wanted to release the song a single, "There's that sense of togetherness with it. The fact the chorus is not just me singing it, it's not meant to be. It is everyone together. For it now to be coming out during a pandemic… we can see that light at the end of the tunnel, it feels quite poignant to be bringing it out now. I believed it in so much that it is so nice that it has paid off. It's given me such confidence to trust my taste and that I knew what I was talking about. I'm learning more and more about myself and what makes me the artist that I am that people respond well to."[7]

Live performances

She performed the song live on The Graham Norton Show, on 5 February 2021.[8] Talking about her performance she said, "I feel great. That Graham Norton performance… I've never had a TV performance that has done that. The response – this has never happened to me in my career. The fact I'm going to chart again with my album eight months down the line solely off the back of a performance of one song! I believed that Remember Where You Are could connect to people, particularly at this time. I'm very lucky that Graham allowed me to perform it. It's magic."[7] She later performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on 16 June 2021.[9]
