Written with You Me At Six's Max Helyer, As It Is vocalist Patty Walters said that Do You Remember? celebrates the nostalgia of “countless nights we’ve spent retelling all our favourite stories”

As It Is have released a new song, Do You Remember?, which fondly recalls the memories they’ve made together as a band.
Arriving as the third single from their upcoming self-titled album, which is out on July 17 via FLG, the new song was written alongside You Me At Six’s Max Helyer.
“Do You Remember? is about the countless nights we’ve spent retelling all our favourite stories from the road, the studio, and everywhere else that music has taken us over the years,” explains co-vocalist Patty Walters. “When we were on top of the world and when we hit rock bottom, we went through every moment of it together, and the memories and the friendships are something we cherish every day.
“We wrote the song with Max Helyer, someone who knew exactly what we wanted to say and capture in a song, both in its lyrics and its heart, and Do You Remember? wouldn’t be half the song it is without him.”
Max adds, “Working with the lads was a real pleasure. I remember when Patty and myself spoke about doing something at a Marshall writer camp in early 2025, a couple of months later we were in his studio together writing this song. We shared stories of being on tour with your brothers and what As It Is have been through as a band, and I thought, hey, why don’t you write about that side of it?
“We wanted it to be a triumphant celebration of where they have been and what they’ve gone through together, but most importantly coming back and doing it for the right reasons."
The band shot the music video in a living room in their hometown of Brighton surrounded by their partners, friends and long time As It Is fans.
“We love this song so much, and it’s always special getting to share something unreleased with a handful of people before it officially drops,” Patty continues. “Once the video was wrapped, we played a headline set for everyone who came down, and it was a show I’ll absolutely remember forever.
“The band’s first-ever show was in a similar living room, no more than a ten-minute walk away from where we shot the video, and it felt so special to, nearly 14 years later, reconnect with the band’s most humble of beginnings, and to know that the video itself was becoming one of those same stories that inspired us to write this song in the first place.”
