“Know You – LADIPOE feat. Simi” is one of those songs you can listen to over and over because it feels familiar and honest in the way it talks about feelings that most people have had at some point. At a really simple level, this is a song about wanting someone, feeling something strong, and being confused about it because you actually don’t know that person very well yet. The lyrics repeat that idea again and again, wanting to tell them how your day was, wanting to spend time with them, wanting to kiss them, yet admitting “I don’t really know you that well.” That contrast between desire and uncertainty is the heart of the song and it’s something almost anyone can relate to when they’ve liked someone new or confusing.
