P.Y.T. was a Florida-based girl group in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Unlike many pop groups, PYT.'s formation was not the result of scouting by a talent agency or a series of auditions. Instead, these Tampa teenagers. Lauren Mayhew , Ashley Niven, Lydia Bell, Tracy Williams had all been childhood friends. They had previously performed together in the Tampa Entertainment Revue (through Busch Gardens) and were signed to Epic Records in 1998. The members of PYT derived their group's name from a Michael Jackson song entitled "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," though on some occasions the girls used the acronym "PYT." to stand for the slogan "Prove Yourself True," based on their song, "Prove Yourself". Among the members of the group, Tracy Williams was the alto and sung lower harmonies, Lauren Mayhew and Ashley Niven were mezzo-sopranos and sung the melody line, and Lydia Bell was the soprano who sung higher harmonies. Ashley Niven was the lead vocalist on the tracks on the album PYT (Down With Me). The group is best known for their singles: "Something More Beautiful", "Same Ol Same Ol" and "PYT (Down With Me)". They were also featured on the soundtracks to the films 'Bring It On' and 'Center Stage', and appeared in label-mate Mandy Moore's music video for "Candy".
The group's debut album, "PYT (Down With Me)", was released in August of 2001, and the band disbanded shortly after. Bell & Mayhew attempted to form a new band, Turning Pointe, that ended fairly quickly. Williams had a bit more success, forming her own R&B based trio, UC3.

You Don't Know
Chorus:
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Got me feelin' so good from my head to my feet
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Chorus:
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Got me feelin' so good from my head to my feet
Keep it right there baby, baby bring the heat
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Everytime I see you boy, you look so fine
And the way that you smile you blow my mind
I'm kinda crazy when it comes to you (you you you you)
If I had a dollar for my butterflies
I'd be a millionaire with you by my side
But I'm so afraid of you rejecting me
So I just dream
Chorus:
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Got me feelin' so good from my head to my feet
Keep it right there baby, baby bring the heat
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Chorus:
You don't know what you're doin' to me
Got me feelin' so good from my head to my feet
Keep it right there baby, baby bring the heat
You don't know what you're doin' to me
All I do in my room is fanatsize
And I never want to comprimize...
The song "You Don't Know" by P.Y.T. depicts the feelings of a young girl who is head over heels in love with a boy whom she feels intensely attracted to, yet she is constantly afraid of the possibility of him rejecting her. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing how the boy makes her feel so good from her head to her feet, and how he doesn't realize how much his presence affects her. The girl sees the boy as a source of warmth and comfort, and she wants him to bring the heat in their relationship. However, she is unable to express her feelings outright, as she fears being rejected.
The first verse of the song expresses the girl's admiration for the boy's appearance and how seeing him smile makes her feel ecstatic. However, she is unable to act on her feelings because of her insecurities. The second verse shows how the girl's thoughts are consumed by the boy, and how she daydreams about their hypothetical relationship. The constant repetition of the chorus emphasizes the intensity of the girl's feelings, as she cannot contain her emotions any longer.
Overall, "You Don't Know" is a song that captures the yearning and angst of a young girl who wants to express her feelings to her crush, but is too scared to do so. The track is upbeat and catchy, creating an optimistic ambiance to the otherwise vulnerable lyrics.
