The Memory Of You is a solved lostwave by British singer-songwriter Robbie Craig, and written by Paul Barry, Gary Miller, Steve Torch, and Peter Waterman as a demo for the German band No Mercy. The song originated from a video posted by a YouTube bot account named Manis Studio.

Background

On June 25, 2019, Reddit user Sweguin uploaded the song to r/NameThatSong, after discovering the original 1:48 second snippet Manis Studio uploaded while using PetitTube, a website that displays random YouTube videos with low view counts.[3]

The song first gained attention in the Lostwave community on June 28, 2020, when it was first reuploaded by YouTube user LostwaveFinder.[4] On October 3, 2020,[5] the full version of the song was discovered after using a bot to search the Manis Studio channel for the song and discovering that it was uploaded on August 2, 2019.[6]
