"You Remind Me of Something" is a song by American R&B singer R. Kelly. Released as the lead single from his self-titled album, it became the fourth song from Kelly to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, where it stayed for a week, and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Worldwide, it peaked at number 13 in New Zealand and found moderate success in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

The song's spoken opening line, "You remind me of something...I just can't think of what it is" would be sampled in 2002 for the original version of Kelly's hit "Ignition".
