Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about I Always Knew. By Songfacts®.

Vaccines frontman Justin Young told NME about this nostalgic, dreamy love tune: "Like most great pop songs, it's a pretty straight-up love song. Pete (Robertson, drums) wrote the verse and bought the idea in - I rewrote some of the lyrics but I didn't want to change the sentiment behind it. The band have to feel happy standing for everything I say, so I should feel happy standing for what they say too."

Young sings about the feeling of falling in love with a girl and knowing she is the one for him. She wants to talk, but he just wants to go to bed with her.

The Vaccines released "I Always Knew" as the third single from their second studio album, Come of Age. While their previous two singles ("No Hope" and "Teenage Icon") reached the UK Top 40, "I Always Knew" spluttered to #169.
