"I Know ?" is a song by American rapper and singer Travis Scott. Originally released on July 28, 2023 as a track from his fourth studio album Utopia via Cactus Jack and Epic Records, it was sent to US pop radio as the fourth single on September 26.[1] With a "nerve-jangling" piano instrumental, the song was written by Scott himself, Oz, Coleman, Buddy Ross, Kobe Hood, & Terrance George, and produced by the former four.[2]

Critical reception

"I Know ?" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Eric Skelton of Complex considered it to be one of the best songs from Utopia, while Mike Destefano said that the song "is fine, but not the most captivating track in comparison to everything else going on here".[3] Vivian Medithi of HipHopDX deemed it the best song from Utopia, writing it "feels as delirious and delicate as maintaining a balanced buzz at the end of a long night", before adding "If 'Maria, I'm Drunk' was dancing on the tables, 'I KNOW ?' is nodding off in VIP".[4] In an album review, Thomas Galindo of American Songwriter felt that "while Scott's raps have never been the most substantive or introspective, the chemistry he finds with the immensely impressive production allows him to fit his voice perfectly into the pockets of his beats", citing "I Know ?" as one of the songs that best display the type of quality.[5] Andre Gee of Rolling Stone responded less favorably, commenting that "'I Know?' is the obligatory 'about a girl in my harem' song, but there are five artists on the album (Drake, Future, 21 Savage, Young Thug, even the Weeknd) who could've done more than Scott with his solo moment".[6] Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard placed "I Know ?" at number 15 in her ranking of the songs from Utopia.[7]
