Remember Me: Essential, Vol. 1 is the eleventh studio album from singer and drag queen, RuPaul. It was released on February 3, 2017, just one day after the ninth season cast announcement of RuPaul's Drag Race. The album features guest appearances from Ellis Miah, Vijan Allure and KUMMERSPECK, among others. This is also RuPaul's first studio album since Red Hot (2004) to not be produced by Lucian Piane

On January 27, 2017, RuPaul tweeted "Merci beaucoup, my love. New album coming next week!"[1], confirming the release of his eleventh album. A song on the album, "Rock It (To the Moon)" was first used in the promotional teaser for season nine of RuPaul's Drag Race in February 2017, which premiered on the show's Instagram page. The album contains three new songs, as well as remixes of several songs from his studio albums, Supermodel of the World (1993), Foxy Lady (1996), and Red Hot (2004) as well as his soundtrack album, "Starrbooty: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" (2007)

The first song to be lifted from the album was "U Wear It Well" which was first heard in the teaser campaign for season eight of RuPaul's Drag Race.[2] It was subsequently made available to download on February 29, 2016.
