A track out of his album True Colors, “I Want You to Know” was able to claim the top of iTunes dance category just an hour after it has been released last 23rd of February.
The party-anthem is a recollection of “Break Free,” an Ariana Grande-and-Zedd collaboration released before “I Want You To Know.” It was quieter, however, and lacks the instant punch “Break Free” packs starting from the start. But the track revives itself after fifty-five seconds of building up the tension for the perfect time of letting loose, so to speak.
The track was also interspersed with Zedd’s signature styles. Every transition was hinted with that high note “tap tap” beat and a crescendo of drums building up for the final chorus and then finally crashing down, while there are intervals present in the track to which there are no lyrics but just instruments fitting an EDM song. It was catchy, upbeat, and sure will be on your playlist for awhile. But to be frank, it doesn’t quite measure to the amazing “Clarity” where it was one of the finest forms of music Zedd was able to produce.
Onto the vocals, “I Want You to Know” features Selena Gomez. While she may not have the pipe to stand toe-to-toe with artists with powerhouse vocals, she made it up with her charm. But to be fair, Selena Gomez is still an amazing singer; playing off with her strengths and making the most of her weakness without forcing herself to accommodate the demands. She sang the track brimming with energy and enough drama to “finally hit her mark,” as what Jason Lipshutz of Billboard said.
The lyrics of the song and the added rumors of Zedd and Selena dating during that time added to the hype. Selena telling about their chemistry (which is likely to be Zedd) is the lyrics put into a nutshell.
“I want you to know that it’s our time/ You and me bleed the same light/ I want you to know that I’m all yours/ You and me we’re the same force/ I want you to know that it’s our time/ You and me bleed the same light/ I want you to know that I’m all yours/ You and me run the same course”.
The lyrics were written by Zedd and Selena and with the assistance from One Republic frontman Ryan Tedder and New Jersey producer, artist, and DJ KDrew.
The music video was released March 10 on Vevo and was inspired from 70s disco setting. It was complete with strobe lights, sequined dresses, and Selena in a deep V cut dress and another in a backless fancy one. The music video looks like a simple affair with Selena dancing on the dance floor with mirage of Zedd appearing and disappearing in the scene, reflecting about Selena’s thought revolving around him throughout the track. The kaleidoscopic effect adds a psychedelic touch for a more tasteful music video.
While it was already released more than three months ago, it isn’t done rolling. Just recently released in United Kingdom, the track is bound to be heard on many occasions especially now that summer is on us.
With that all said, the track is a successful team up between Zedd and Selena. Not only the chemistry is in the lyrics, but on the two as well, as Selena played with the vocals lacing smoothly with the rhythm. It received also an over-all chart success, hitting number one in Billboard Hot Dance/ Electronic Song while making an appearance too in different international charts.
