"Do You Know" is a song by British singer-songwriter Michelle Gayle, released in January 1997 by RCA, BMG and 1st Avenue Records as the first single from the singer's second album, Sensational (1997). The song was co-written by Gayle and received positive reviews from music critics. It peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the UK R&B Singles Chart, making it her second-highest-charting single. The accompanying music video for "Do You Know" was directed by Randee St. Nicholas and filmed in Los Angeles.[2]
Music Week gave the song four out of five, adding, "Strong R&B and house remixes will boost the profile of a pop song which, though not as uplifting as previous hits, is sung stunningly well."[1] Music Week editor Alan Jones wrote, "Michelle Gayle is easily the most accomplished singer to emerge from television drama in recent years — no apologies to Robson & Jerome, or any of their ilk — and her career as a recording artist should be furthered by her latest single, 'Do You Know'. A jangly, semi-acoustic mid-tempo pop song, it allows Gayle plenty of room to demonstrate her fine vocal style. Busier and more rhythmically accentuated house mixes deliver this one to the dance floor too, making its success all the more likely."[3] David Sinclair from The Times complimented it as a "gently appealing, acoustic pop song more in the Joan Armatrading vein than the sugary sound of Gayle's previous hits."[4]
