This love song is about finding the person you were meant to be with and have been waiting for all your life. The hook line, "I knew I loved you before I met you," is very Hallmark, and many listeners found it deeply moving. The song became very popular at weddings.
"I Knew I Loved You" sent four weeks at #1 in America, including all of February 2000. It was unseated on March 4 by another wedding favorite: "Amazed" by Lonestar.
This song almost didn't make it onto the Affirmation album. When Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones of Savage Garden presented their songs for the album to their record producers, they were told that the album wouldn't be as big a hit as their debut album if they didn't have a "Truly Madly Deeply" on it. So Darren and Daniel went and wrote this song. It was a painful task for Darren, who was going through a divorce at the time.
