The Body Remembers is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson, released on August 20, 2021, by her own label Stargirl Records. It is her first studio release to feature completely original songs since her 2001 album M.Y.O.B.[1][2][3][4][5]

Background[]

Gibson announced the release of the album on June 4, 2021. In an interview with Billboard magazine, she stated, "This album very much feels like Electric Youth 2021 in a lot of ways." Gibson also said, "The variety of styles, the way it encapsulates my life right now -- I really wanted to let it hang out on this album. The goal was to make an undeniably special, authentic, well-crafted and yet still raw album. I feel great about the fact we found that. I feel like I've made an undeniable album."[1]

Gibson came up with the album title while writing the songs during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. "I was writing both upbeats and ballads, but I was gravitating toward the upbeats just because everybody needs that energy shift now. Pop music does that — it shifts energy. That's where the title comes from — the body remembers all the visceral moments tied to your favorite pop songs."[2] The song "Legendary" was written in memory of Kobe Bryant.[1] Gibson describes "One Step Closer" as a "throwback style of Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue."[2] "Strings" focuses on "putting self-love above everything."[6]

Among the album's 15 tracks is "Lost in Your Eyes, the Duet" a new recording of Gibson's 1989 hit single with Joey McIntyre. The duo first performed the song together during New Kids on the Block's Mixtape Tour in 2019.[1][2][3][4] The single was released on streaming services on June 4 while the official music video was uploaded on Gibson's YouTube channel on July 1.[7] On July 12, Gibson announced "One Step Closer" as the album's second single.[8] The official track listing was revealed on July 16.[9][10]
