History
I Don't Know is built around Joanne's boyfriend who had moved away after one year of being together. His career had to take him to another state, and although Joanne was genuinely pleased for him, the thought of being away from him made her heart ache. Joanne poured all of those feelings into writing I Don't Know, and hearing it completed on her debut album reminds Joanne of the day she had to say goodbye.
Most of Joanne's singles have dance tracks. I Don't Know was originally recorded as a ballad, but then later mixed into a new version and Joanne was keen to give it a try.
"The sentiment is still there, but now it has a great dance beat." - Joanne.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
