I know love Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tate McRae]
You 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

[Chorus: Tate McRae]
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
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

[Verse 2: The Kid LAROI & Tate McRae]
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

[Chorus: Tate McRae, The Kid LAROI, Both]
I know love when it hits, when it hits, when it hits
Yeah, I know love, yeah (I know love)

Got you sick in the mornin’, down on your knees
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

[Post-Chorus: Tate McRae, The Kid LAROI, Both]
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 (I know love)
Yeah, I know love, I know love

[Bridge: Tate McRae & The Kid LAROI]
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 Meaning

[Section: Verse 1: Tate McRae]
McRae introduces a flirtatious, high-energy interaction where attraction takes center stage. She playfully engages in a conversation with someone drawn to her public image, but she quickly sets boundaries, emphasizing the fleeting nature of the moment. The lyrics suggest a sense of control—McRae acknowledges the allure of the situation but makes it clear that emotional permanence isn’t guaranteed. This tension between intimacy and detachment becomes a recurring theme throughout the song.

[Section: Chorus: Tate McRae]
In the chorus, McRae delivers a powerful declaration about recognizing love when it “hits.” She equates the rush of love to an addictive substance, describing its consuming effects—intense passion followed by emotional turmoil. The imagery of being “sick in the morning, down on your knees” highlights the emotional aftermath of falling too hard, reinforcing the idea that love, while exhilarating, can also be overwhelming and destructive.

[Section: Verse 2: The Kid LAROI & Tate McRae]
The Kid LAROI reflects on the unexpected evolution of a relationship that started as friendship but quickly escalated into something deeper. His casual tone (“I don’t see no problems”) suggests initial indifference, but as the verse progresses, his lyrics reveal emotional investment. The setting—Mexico—adds to the whirlwind romance narrative, implying spontaneity and passion. Meanwhile, McRae’s response emphasizes the contradictions of love, where fleeting moments can unexpectedly turn into lasting attachments.

[Section: Chorus: Tate McRae, The Kid LAROI, Both]
Repeating the chorus, this section intensifies with the addition of The Kid LAROI’s vocals, reinforcing the mutual understanding of love’s intoxicating effects. The dual voices highlight the shared experience—both artists recognize the inevitable pull of love, even as they acknowledge its destructive tendencies. Their voices blend seamlessly, symbolizing the entanglement of emotions between two people caught in the whirlwind of romance.

[Section: Post-Chorus: Tate McRae, The Kid LAROI, Both]
The repetition of “kn-kn-kn-kn-know love” mimics the disorienting and cyclical nature of love, almost like a heartbeat or an uncontrollable reaction. The hypnotic cadence mirrors the addictive quality described earlier in the song, reinforcing how love can consume one’s thoughts and actions. The playful back-and-forth between McRae and The Kid LAROI adds an element of teasing, reflecting both excitement and uncertainty.

[Section: Bridge: Tate McRae & The Kid LAROI]
The bridge shifts the focus to reinvention and change within the relationship.

The contrast between novelty and continuity underscores the idea that love is ever-changing yet deeply familiar.

The shift between McRae’s solo lines and their shared vocals symbolizes the inevitable intertwining of emotions in any deep connection.

[Section: Outro: Tate McRae]
The outro leaves listeners with a lingering sense of contemplation. McRae’s repetition of “when it hits” suggests that love, regardless of how much one tries to resist or control it, remains an unpredictable and unavoidable force.
