"Does It Make You Remember" is a 1982 single release from Kim Carnes's album Voyeur. It was the follow-up single to Kim's controversial "Voyeur" and featured an accompanying MTV music video. She performed both hits on an episode of Solid Gold.

The single reached #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #38 in Cash Box magazine in early 1983.

Critical reception

Billboard described "Does It Make You Remember" as "a striking example of the use of harder rock textures in a ballad setting". Cash Box favored "Does It Make You Remember" over its predecessor, "Voyeur", calling it a more "natural-feeling" follow-up to her hit "Bette Davis Eyes" in the previous year. They opined that Val Garay's production "allows the sadness in Carnes' rasp to predominate".

Music video

The music video for "Does It Make You Remember" was directed by Simon Milne.
