After playing hometown dates at local festivals in 2016, Faouzia’s burgeoning career started to blossom. She has since taken the stage at Toronto’s Yonge & Dundas Square for Canada’s Walk Of Fame Festival, and played one high profile event after another, wowing audiences with her heart-wrenching lyrics and magnetic stage presence.
Switching seamlessly between composing songs in English and French, Faouzia follows her well-tuned instinct when songwriting. Her first single “Knock On My Door” found its way onto regular rotation at Canadian radio, and the follow up “My Heart’s Grave” is already seeing adds in both Canada, and her native Morocco. Another accolade that the teen can add to her already impressive résumé is that of an award-winner. In early 2017, Faouzia became the first Canadian in history to win the Grand Prize award for the International Songwriting Competition, besting over 16,000 entries from137 countries, and a few short months later, was awarded the Grand Prize for the Unsigned Only Music Competition (6,000 entries from 90 countries). Faouzia was the first ever teen to win each award.
Influenced by hours spent listening to traditional Arabic music in her parents’ minivan, the songbird’s voice embodies a unique range, taking on subtle trills and stylings that combine effortlessly with contemporary pop hooks or Francophone lyrics.
You won’t be able to miss this up-and-coming artistic force – Faouzia’s star just keeps shining brighter.
You Don't Even Know Me

Everybody staring
What did I, what did I do wrong?
What did I, what did I do wrong?
Oh, you see what you wanna see
But you don't even know me
What did I, what did I do now?
He said, she said, over it
You're acting like you're brilliant
But you don't know
Yeah, you don't know
You don't know a thing at all
You don't know about the way I am when I am all alone
You don't even know
The way I care, the way I've grown
You don't know about the way I love so deeply to my bones
You don't even know me
Whoa
Whoa
I walk it off and brush away
Everything you say
'Cause I don't care, I don't care at all
I don't care, I don't care at all
He said, she said, over it
You're acting like you're brilliant
But you don't know (you don't know)
Yeah, you don't know
You don't know a thing at all
You don't know about the way I am when I am all alone
You don't even know
The way I care, the way I've grown
You don't know about the way I love so deeply to my bones
You don't even know me
Whoa, you don't even know me
Whoa, you don't even know
You don't know a thing at all
You don't know about the way I am when I am all alone
You don't even know
The way I care, the way I've grown
You don't know about the way I love so deeply to my bones
You don't even know me
You don't even know me, oh
The song "You Don't Even Know Me" by FAOUZIA is about feeling judged and misunderstood by others. The song starts with the singer walking into a crowded room where everyone is staring at her, and she wonders what she did wrong. She then talks about how people only see what they want to see and don't really know who she is. The chorus repeats the phrase "You don't even know me" emphasizing the feeling of being misunderstood.
The second verse talks about how the singer doesn't care about what people say anymore and how she brushes off their comments. The bridge emphasizes that while others may judge her, they don't really know anything about her. The song ends with a final chorus repeating the phrase "You don't even know me."
The lyrics show the frustration and feeling of being misunderstood that many people can relate to. The song is a reminder that we should not judge others based on what we see on the surface and that everyone has their own story and struggles.
