Lohan became known as a triple threat after signing with Casablanca Records and releasing two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004) and gold-certified A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). She also starred in the comedies Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and Just My Luck (2006). In order to showcase her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007). Her reported behavior during the filming of the dramedy Georgia Rule in 2006 marked the start of a series of personal struggles that would plague her life and career for most of the next decade. She became a fixture in the tabloid press for her frequent legal issues, court appearances and stints in rehabilitation facilities. This period saw her lose several roles, negatively impacting her career and public image. In an attempt to return to acting, she appeared in Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013), but were both met with negative reviews.
In 2013, under the guidance of Oprah Winfrey, Lohan filmed the docu-series Lindsay (2014), which depicted her returning to work. She subsequently made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014), starred in the second season of the comedy series Sick Note (2018), and served as a panelist in the first season of Masked Singer Australia (2019). Between 2016 and 2018, she opened three beach clubs in Greece, which were the focus of the MTV reality television series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club (2019). After signing a multi-picture deal with Netflix, Lohan starred in the romantic comedy Falling for Christmas (2022).
To Know Your Name
Lindsay Lohan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I won't tell
We must keep this secret well
Privacy is hard to fin
[Chorus:]
Eyes are watching all the time
Everybody wants to know my love
Everybody wants to know your name
To know your name
Everybody needs to criticize
And their not even in our lives
Everybody wants to know your name
To know your name
Can't get out can't get through
Need to be alone with you
Must escape or are we allowed no part of privacy
Can the boys with the zoom give the girls just second
See the man that I love needs a little sweet attention
I don't want to seem harsh but this girl's under pressure
I can't go through losing love again
Boy I need to breathe just one breath
Was our closing in so fast
Privacy is hard to find
Eyes are watching all the time
[Chorus: x2]
The song "To Know Your Name" by Lindsay Lohan is an ode to privacy and secrecy in a relationship. Lohan sings "I know your name, but I won't tell/We must keep this secret well/Privacy is hard to find." These lyrics suggest that the relationship is being kept under wraps, and the couple must guard their privacy against nosy people who are constantly prying into their lives. The chorus goes on to emphasize this point, with Lohan singing about how "everybody wants to know my love" and how "everybody needs to criticize" them without even being a part of their lives. The couple is portrayed as struggling to find a sense of privacy and escape the constant eyes that are watching them.
Throughout the song, Lohan also reveals her deep need for her partner and a desire to escape from the public eye. She sings "Can't get out can't get through/Need to be alone with you" and "Boy I need to breathe just one breath/Was our closing in so fast." These lyrics suggest that the constant attention and scrutiny is suffocating for Lohan, and the only way she can find respite is in the arms of her lover. Overall, "To Know Your Name" is a poignant portrayal of the difficulties of navigating a public relationship, and the toll it can take on those involved.

Repeating the same message that everyone is curious about our relationship and wish to find out more about us
