"I'm never with you cos you're never with me," south London- based Ojerime sings over a dusky electronic beat. "I Know Now" is your new relatable '90s throwback, and the singer-songwriter's first new music since 2016's promising fang2001.

Over 120 seconds of ambient electronics and Brandy-esque vocals, the song catches Ojerime in a contemplative mood. "You never see me, say I'm a complex being," she sings of a soon to be doomed relationship. It's a track that creeps up on you, its heartbroken message becoming louder with each repeat listen.

Speaking to The FADER via email, Ojerime said: "'I Know Now' is a pre-heartbreak song written in November 2016. Penned while I was with the guy, the relationship panned out just like the lyrics."
