The duo -- Samuel Brandt (aka Severo) and Tobias Danielsson (aka ToWonder) -- built an audience with a prolific series of tropical-inspired future bass remixes of hit singles by the likes of Ed Sheeran ("Shape of You"), Shawn Mendes ("There's Nothing Holding Me Back"), Alessia Cara ("Scars to Your Beautiful"), DJ Khaled and Rihanna ("Wild Thoughts"), and more. While their Sheeran remix hit ten-million streams, their spin on Stanaj's "Romantic" racked up 45 million. In August 2017 the pair released their original debut single, "Summer of Love," featuring Norwegian pop singer Dagny. ~ Neil Z. Yeung

I Wanna Know
NOTD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is she the one
The one you've been waiting for?
Is she the one?
Is she the one
The one you've been dreaming of?
Is she the one?

I'm tired of staying up all night with you on my mind

Still I'm laying here
Yeah, I'm laying in the shirt you used to like
No, I shouldn't mind
All I think about is

Does she move your body?
Like I moved your body?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know
Does she make you feel wanted?
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know

I want to know
I want to know
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know

Is she the one
That I couldn't be for you?
Is she the one?
Mm, I hate that you're the one
That I never get over
That I wanna get closer to

I'm tired of staying up all night with you on my mind
Still I'm laying here
Yeah, I'm laying in the shirt you used to like
No, I shouldn't mind
All I think about is

Does she move your body?
Like I moved your body?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know
Does she make you feel wanted?
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know

I want to know
I want to know
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know
I want to know

Does she move your body?
Like I moved your body?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know
Does she make you feel wanted?
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know

I want to know
I want to know
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know

I want to know
Is she all you wanted?
'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know
I want to know (I want)
Is she all you wanted? (I want)

'Cause I wanna know, yeah, I wanna know

Overall Meaning

The song "I Wanna Know" by NOTD is about a person who is grappling with the thought of their ex-partner having moved on with someone new. They are unsure about whether the new person satisfies their ex-partner in the way they did. The lyrics repeatedly ask the question, "Is she the one?" And despite their efforts, the memories of their past relationship keep coming back to haunt them. The songwriter is curious and wants to know if his ex's new partner is everything he wasn't, or if she's still longing to come back to him.

The first verse opens with the singer revealing that they have been unable to get their ex-partner out of their mind. They are lying awake in bed, wearing a shirt that their ex used to like. Though they know they shouldn't, all they can think about is whether their ex's new partner satisfies them in the same way they did.

The chorus repeats their doubts, especially about whether the new person moves their ex-partner's body or makes them feel wanted. The singer wants to know if their ex is truly happy and satisfied, or if they are still longing for what they had.

The second verse begins with the artist lamenting that they weren't the one for their ex, which is why their ex-partner had to leave in the first place. They think of themselves as the one who can't seem to get over their former relationship and who will always want to be closer to their ex-partner.

Overall, NOTD's "I Wanna Know" is a song about heartbreak and longing for a lost relationship. The lyrics explore the emotions of a person struggling to move on from a past love.
