Born and raised in the Nordic forests of Sweden on small crop of land called Sollerön - known as the Island of the Sun - Winona Oak is every bit as enchanting as her origin story. With a childhood spent encountering more animals than people, she grew up a trained horse acrobat and pursued creative expression however she could, writing poetry and songs from a young age.
After moving to Stockholm to pursue her passion for music, a leap of faith to attend Neon Gold Records' writing retreat in the Nicaraguan jungle in 2017 connected her with Australian electronic maestro What So Not. She would go on to co-write his next two singles “Better” and “Stuck In Orbit”, eventually stepping into the spotlight as both the writer and featured artist on his 2018 single “Beautiful”. As 2018 came to a close, she found herself signed as an artist to Neon Gold / Atlantic Records and published by Warner-Chappell, with her biggest writing credit and feature to date on Chainsmokers' new single "Hope".
"He Don't Love Me" marks the beginning of Winona Oak's contribution to today's music and culture under her own pseudonym, to be released on Neon Gold/Atlantic Records in late April. This hauntingly beautiful song will be accompanied by visual by director, Andreas Ohman filmed throughout their native Stockholm. More music to be released throughout the fall.
Let Me Know
Winona Oak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought that I would let you in
But you're the one I choose
I belong with you
Every hand I lost
Has brought me something I can't lose
We don't have to fall so fast
Take it slow
Unless you want to hold me close
We can make a good thing last
Don't let go
You know perfect is impossible
But you've got me hoping
If the world is burning down
You're the one I'm holding
Don't let go
I've been tired of waking up alone
Second guessing, shaking on the phone
But you're the one I choose
I belong with you
Every hand I lost
Has brought me something I can't lose
So if you love me, let me know
We don't have to fall so fast
Take it slow
Unless you want to hold me close
We can make a good thing last
Don't let go
You know perfect is impossible
But you've got me hoping
If the world is burning down
You're the one I'm holding
Don't let go
I think of all the wasted time
We're standing on the sideline waiting for a sign
I found you there
No, nothing is a waste of time
I had to take a hit to learn to read the signs
I found you there
So if you love me, let me know
We don't need to fall so fast
Take it slow
Unless you want to hold me close
We can make a good thing last
Don't let go
You know perfect is impossible
But you've got me hoping
If the world is burning down
You're the one I'm holding
Don't let go
Don't let go
Winona Oak’s “Let Me Know” is a beautiful love ballad that speaks about the fear of commitment and the struggle of finding the right person. The song expresses the thought of taking things slowly and not rushing into anything past a certain pace. The lyrics convey the message that the singer has been hurt before in her previous relationships and knows that perfect love is impossible. The lyrics also talk about how the person she is with now might be the one, but she still wants to take things slowly and not fall too fast.
The song begins on a note of uncertainty, the singer doesn't know how to begin, and she had never thought that she would let the other person in. However, now she's sure about her choices and wants to make things work with them. The lyrics convey her struggle with the past relationships and how she has learned from them. She doesn't want to make the same mistake again by falling too fast or committing too much in the early stages of the relationship.
The chorus of the song is catchy and drives home the message of taking things slow but also holding on tight if they are together. She knows that perfect love is impossible, but she is hopeful that what she and her partner have is something special. The lyrics are an emotional representation of a person in search of love but who has been hurt before and is now standing at the crossroads of their heart.

I regret all the time I spent alone instead of searching for love
We're standing on the sideline waiting for a sign
We've been spectators in our own lives, waiting for a sign to take action
I found you there
No, nothing is a waste of time
I found you in the end and now I realize that all my past experiences were leading me to you
