If I Know You
"If I Know You" is a single by The Presets and the fifth taken from their second studio album Apocalypso. It was originally the proposed third single but was replaced by "Talk Like That".
Content
"If I Know You" is a break-up song with a Morrissey-like sexual ambiguity, with a vocal hook reminiscent of the 1980 Split Enz hit "I Hope I Never".
Discussing the lyrics, singer Julian Hamilton told Rolling Stone Australia: "It's a break up song but I didn't want it to be a guy pissed off at a girl because that always sounds so wimpy. I thought it'd be cool to write it from a girl's perspective. The lyrics came out a bit weird and we thought maybe we could flog this off to a girl singer, but then I thought no, this song needs to be sung with balls!"[1]
Music video
The video clip was directed by Eva Husson. The video was awarded Best Dance Video at the 2009 UK Music Video Awards.
