Produced by frequent collaborators Travis Barker and Omer Fedi, the song sees Kelly reunite with fellow Ohio artist Trippie Redd, marking their second collaboration following their 2019 track “Candy”.
The song’s chorus seemingly interpolates the chorus from American punk rock band Operation Ivy’s 1989 song “Knowledge”.
In a live stream of his album, Machine Gun Kelly stated that this song was inspired after he crashed his car on the way to Travis’ studio.

All I know is I don't know nothin' at all
People talk but they don't say nothin'
All I know is I don't know nothin' at all
No license, I'm still ridin'
Crashed into a tree and kept drivin'
My label hates that I'm like this
All these girls, I don't want none of them
But I know I'll end up with one of them
My life on the outside's fun to them
But the person on the inside is crumblin'
All I know is I don't know nothin'
All I know is I don't know nothin' at all
People talk but they don't say nothin'
All I know is I don't know nothin' at all
All I know is I don't know nothin'
I love you, but I don't love nothin' at all
Yeah, the world is crazy, so corrupted
I'm by myself, so I don't feel too involved
'Cause I'm alone, alone, alone
Don't know who to call, don't know, I don't know (yeah, yeah)
If you know the answer to these things, let me know (yeah)
Let me know, let me know again
All I know is I don't know nothin'
All I know is I don't know nothin' at all
People talk but they don't say nothin'
All I know is I don't know nothin' at all
Ripped jeans, I've been runnin' from the cops all night
I'm dead, I don't care about nothin'
Bloody teeth in my mouth when I smiled last night
Broke his jaw, now he can't say nothin'
Nothin' at all

He acknowledges that people talk, but they do not seem to say much. He uses the phrase "all I know" to highlight that he is aware of his lack of comprehensive knowledge about life. He goes on to talk about his life experiences and how he has had to go through difficult moments to keep creating his music. The song is an introspective piece where Machine Gun Kelly dives deep into himself and his emotions.
The second verse of the song has the rapper talking about his love life.

He notes that his life on the outside is fun to other people, but the inside is crumbling. The lyrics suggest that Machine Gun Kelly is struggling emotionally, and his life seems to be going in the wrong direction. The chorus reiterates the title of the song and the theme of the song.
