Songfacts®:

• In this song, Cudi's ex is trying to get over him, but it's proving impossible because he's kinda famous and she sees him on magazines and on TV. She'd like to just erase him like Joel Barish did to Clementine in the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
• "Erase Me" was the first official single from Kid Cudi's second album, Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. The song debuted on a Cleveland radio station June 30, 2010 and was officially released to Rhythm/Crossover radio on August 17, 2010.
• The tune features guest vocals from Cudi's GOOD Music record label boss, Kanye West.
• The tongue-in-cheek performance video was directed by Jason Goldwatch and features Cudi channeling guitar hero Jimi Hendrix and performing with a band comprising American actors Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Clark Duke. Kanye West, who is attired in outlandish late '60s rock star gear, later drops his verse.
• Producer Jim Jonsin told Rap-Up.com about this rap/rock hybrid: "We did one song together, which is kind of rock-influenced," said the super-producer. "It was something I wanted to do with him and just see where he would go."
