"Always Something There to Remind Me" is a synthpop song by English band Naked Eyes which was released as a single in January 1983. it was a new wave version of the 1960s original, "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David which was originally recorded by Dionne Warwick in 1963.

Naked Eyes’ vocalist Pete Byrne and keyboardist Rob Fisher first cut their version as one of a number of demos recorded in Bristol upon forming their duo in early 1982. Byrne would recall: "I had always loved [the] song ["Always Something There to Remind Me"], so we called a friend who had the record, he read the lyric over the phone and we put it together from memory."

Byrne and Fisher were signed to EMI Records in May 1982 and the track was cut on 1 September 1982 in a session at Abbey Road Studios produced by Tony Mansfield. Byrne would recall: "The record was recorded at Abbey Road, and we were invited to a party downstairs, with Paul McCartney and many other stars...When we returned upstairs to the studio around 1 a.m., I decided to have a go at the vocal, it was the first time I have ever recorded a vocal in one take".

It took some time for "Always Something There to Remind Me" to get airplay in the US but it gradually gained attention, finally entering the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983 and eventually peaking at #8 in June.
