They don't know me

They Don’t Know Me has a fresh take on contemporary R&B with elements of pop and hip-hop.

The vocal performance delivers the lyrics with sass

Lyrically it sings about despite being around acquaintances, friends, or even family, feeling like they don’t know you properly. It’s about how everyone has their surface level personalities and interactions with others, whilst having a much deeper story about themselves that most have no idea about.  

Overall the song has a quirky up-lifting and light-hearted feel about it, giving off vibes of amusement, contentment and shrugging it off.

‘They Don’t Know Me’ was a song I wrote while reflecting on the fact that my everyday life and persona was different to the “real” me and my experiences. It describes a feeling of isolation in the lack of understanding that I felt from everyone around me and the putting up of a facade or talking about things that didn’t really matter.   Since writing and reflecting on this song that I wrote in 2018, I've realised that everyone can feel this way; we are all icebergs with our deeper stories and experiences hidden underneath the surface.” - Bella Maree

Lyrics

I'm just sitting here 
Thinking to myself 
Thinking about how everyone else 
They Don't know me 
I mean, They don't really know me 

 I'm just sitting here 
Laughing to myself 
Laughing about how everyone else 
They Don't know me 
I mean, They don't really know me   

They Don't know 
About my circumstances  
They Don't know 
What my childhood was like 
They Don't know 
They Don't know me 
I mean, they don't really know me 

I'm just standing here 
Keeping to myself 
Looking around at everyone else 
Talking shit, small talk and no common topics  
All claiming that they know me 
But I mean, They don't really know me   

I'm just standing here 
Listening to 
Who? Everyone else 
While they think they know who they're talking to 
But they got no idea what the heck that I've been through 
They Don't know me 
I mean, they don't really no me   

They Don't know 
About my circumstances  
They Don't know 
What my childhood was like 
They Don't know 
They Don't know me 
I mean, you see  
They don't really know me
