The Song Remembers When: Kenny Chesney – “Knowing You”

We take you behind the scenes and explore the making of one of our favorite tunes with The Song Remembers When…

Song: “Knowing You”
Songwriters: Adam James, Brett James, and Kat Higgins
Album: Here And Now

In Spring 2021, Kenny Chesney released the fourth single from his Here and Now album – “Knowing You.”  When he first heard the song, Kenny said that it “knocked him out.” He felt it was in the vein of a classic country song, the kind that we just aren’t hearing much of anymore.

Lyrically, “Knowing You” tells the story of someone leaving your life, maybe through a breakup or moving away or even someone who has passed away. Kenny said that the song’s message comes from a positive place, gratitude for having had that person in your life.

“Knowing You” peaked just shy of the top of the ACC Chart in December 2021.
