“Memories” is the fourth single off of Conan Gray’s sophomore studio album "Superache". Initially teased six days earlier, the song was released on April 15, 2022. The song shows Gray longing for a former romantic partner, wishing to remember their love for each other.
Conan wants the person he’s singing about to stay in his memories since he wants them to feel comforting and happy as they are. With the person returning back into his life, the memories become painful and no longer feel the same as it serves as a record of how everything once was between them. The song is about trying to move on from a relationship but can’t since the memories you had with them keep coming back to you in a more painful way.
Several days prior, following the announcement of Superache, Rolling Stone published an article about the album, accidentally leaking the title and release date of “Memories,” before removing any mentions of the song shortly after.
Gray formally announced the song on April 13, two days before its scheduled release, and two days after the Rolling Stone leak. Included in the announcement was an additional snippet of both the song and its music video, and a presave link for the song.
"I wanted to flip it over and be like, “I actually wish that you would stay in my memory. Like, stop showing up in real life. I don’t want any new memories. I’m trying to get over you.”
I was like, “Well, you broke up with him, so maybe you shouldn’t text him. Maybe you should actually just leave him alone and let him rest and let him get over you.” It just had me thinking about all the times that people texted me that I wished they wouldn’t have."
