About This Track

'Yeah I Know' by Ciara is an R&B/Soul track from the album 'Basic Instinct' (2010). Its lyrics take the form of a knowing retort, with the singer repeatedly shutting down a would-be pursuer, listing reasons he is not welcome, and landing on a line about his “brand new” status. The tone is blunt and unsentimental, as the song performs a confident refusal rather than a romance.

"Yeah I Know" is a track by Ciara, from the album Basic Instinct, released 10th December 2010. The track is 3:45 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Ciara.
