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 any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
“Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
