“I Know Love” is a collaboration between Tate McRae and The Kid LAROI, featured on McRae’s album, So Close To What.
McRae has said that working on the song helped strengthen her bond with The Kid LAROI. She found it humorous and a bit nerve-wracking to write and sing in the studio with him, as they don’t typically sing around each other in their relationship.
McRae also found it fascinating to observe his creative process. The song explores the intensity of love, comparing its effects to those of drugs. The lyrics delve into the singers’ relationship, which started as friendship.
I Know Love Tate McRae The Kid LAROI Lyrics
He said, “No lie, girl, you lookin’ sexy on the magazine, but what you doin’ after the photos?”
Looks like I’ll be in the covers with you practicin’ a new kinda promo
I said, “Baby, if you want, I’ll give you somethin’ you can hold on, you can feel for now, yeah”
I said, “Baby if you want, I’ll give you somethin’, but you only got me right now,” because
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, yeah
Yeah, I know love when it hits, when it feels like this
It’s a little like drugs
Got you sick in the mornin’, down on your knees
Yeah, you’re so fucked up fallin’ for me
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, I know love
We started off friends, how we end up here?
I don’t know, but I don’t see no problems
We started off friends, how you end up here
Next to me? (Honestly, this shit is crazy)
I said “You my type,” out in Mexico tonight
You said it was gon’ be quick, now we’re twelve months in, so
Everybody needs somebody they can hold down (Mm, yeah)
Girl, stop actin’ like you’re tough and let your guard down
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, yeah (I know love)
Yeah, I know love when it hits, when it feels like this
It’s a little like drugs
Got you sick in the mornin’, down on your knees
Yeah, you’re so fucked up fallin’ for me
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, I know love
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know love
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know love (When it hits like that)
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know (I know love)
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know love (I know love)
When it hits, I kn-kn-kn-kn-know (I know love)
Yeah, I know love, I know love
New love, new plans, new script
Yeah, it’s only the beginnin’, but it’s happening quick, boy (Mm)
New nails, new hair, new tricks
New positions that I put you on and then I put you in, like (Yeah, oh no)
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, yeah (I know love)
Yeah, I know love when it hits, when it feels like this
It’s a little like drugs
Got you sick in the mornin’, down on your knees
Yeah, you’re so fucked up, falling for me
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, I know love
Oh, mm
When it hits, when it hits
