Composition and lyrics
The band announced a new single titled "I Knew You When" would be coming and teased a preview via social media on November 5, 2018.[5] The track has been described as a dance-oriented and pop rock song,[6][7] highlighting the band's musical growth.[8] Lead singer Josh Ramsay spoke to Substream Magazine on the meaning behind the song.
"This is about long term, messy, real life love. Love with consequence. Not about drunken lust, or doing shots in a bar, or 'living life for just tonight,' but the kind of real-life relationship that takes a decade to build, through ups and downs. If I've learned one thing in my life as a performer it's this; if you're going to sing a song every night for the rest of your career, you better mean it – and I do."[2]
Ramsay wrote and produced the track.[9] The song runs at 106 BPM and is in the key of E major.[10]
