Trivia

Interesting facts about LMK. By Songfacts.

Here, Kelela wants to know what she's getting into with a potential one-night stand. (The song title stands for "Let Me Know"). "The song is directed at a man who's being weird instead of being honest," Kelela explained to The Fader. "Does casual have to be careless? Is wifey the only woman who deserves your respect, and why do you think I want more when I demand it? These are my questions."


Kelela told Pitchfork: "I just want to live in a world where I can tell a guy, 'This is the deal: I really want this. I really want you. But it's also not that deep.' It's hard for men to think that a woman is capable of just wanting to get laid without being a ho. 'LMK' is a song that's essentially just like, Just let me know - it's not that deep either way, you know?'"


The music clip was directed by longtime Björk collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang. He said: "The video is essentially a grand unveiling featuring Kelela wearing different wigs and guises as she pushes through the club with her friends, ultimately revealing herself at the end of the video. The message of this video is empowerment: it's for the girls, for anyone whose heart has been trampled on and deserves to go out and feel good about themselves. It's a call to action, demanding to be taken and to be quick about it."
