Song information
In 2001 Kierra's mother, Karen Clark-Sheard, was faced with a life-threatening crisis when a blood vessel burst during a scheduled hernia surgery. Her doctors only gave her a 2% chance of survival due to her complications. After the blood clot was surgically removed, Clark-Sheard fell into a coma. The coma lasted for weeks, but she made a miraculous recovery. Clark-Sheard's near-death experience is said to have inspired "You Don't Know".
Chart performance
"You Don't Know" managed to crack the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop singles list at number 84 and is one of the few singles by the artist to even chart while her full length albums generally have charted well.
