The Real Meaning Behind 'Knowing You' By Kenny Chesney

According to Genius, Kenny Chesney's single "Knowing You" starts by wistfully thinking about someone he used to know and what they are up to at the moment: talking to strangers, being "wild and free," and lounging on a beach. The chorus concludes, "But I'd do it all over / 'Cause, damn, it was good knowing you."

It's unclear if the song is about someone who lost a person due to a breakup or other circumstances, like untimely death. But according to a CMT News interview with Chesney, the song isn't about the details of the loss, but appreciating what was.

"Too many people lose sight of the gratitude for having felt that way at all," Chesney told the news outlet about the track. "You know, to have felt it, experienced it, know that sensation is real — and you experienced it? To be given that gift is so much. And you can live with everything knowing that."
