Sophie Coran’s latest single “i didn’t know” is a beautifully layered track that balances tenderness with momentum. From the very first beat, energetic drums push the song forward, while bright piano melodies shimmer over incredible bass lines that give the track depth and movement. A sweeping string section adds a cinematic quality, elevating the arrangement into something that feels both intimate and expansive. Coran’s vocals remain soft, breathy, and emotionally raw, creating a striking contrast against the driving instrumentation.
At its heart, the song reflects on early adulthood and the way pivotal moments shape us before we even realize it. There is a sense of looking back at young love and life in a big city with both warmth and ache, especially through the lens of loss and growing up. What makes “i didn’t know” so compelling is how it captures that realization that certain feelings, certain firsts, can never quite be recreated. The track grows from quiet reflection into something more powerful and emotive, mirroring the emotional journey it describes.
“‘i didn’t know’ is so special to me. The concept came to mind after I heard that a college friend had passed away, and the song just poured out of me. I have found that my best songs happen when I don’t overthink and simply follow my feelings. If I could pinpoint the moment I fell down the rabbit hole revisiting this period of my life, it would be with this song. Even though it was a chaotic headfuck, I’m grateful that it led me to create this next chapter of music.” – Sophie Coran
