"Know No Better" is a song by American electronic band Major Lazer from their EP of the same name and upcoming fourth studio album, Music Is the Weapon (2017).[1] The song features Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello, and American rappers, Travis Scott and Quavo. It was released on June 1, 2017, as the album's fourth single.[2] The song was written by Brittany Hazzard, Major Lazer member Diplo, King Henry, and Jr. Blender.[3]

Composition

"Know No Better" comprises grand piano chords, dancehall rhythms and pitch-shifted vocal samples.[4]

Music video

The official lyric video for "Know No Better" was uploaded to Major Lazer's YouTube channel on June 1, 2017.[5]

The song's music video premiered on July 11. The clip follows a young aspiring dancer who is going through an awkward adolescent phase, morning routines and bullying at school, but dreams of being one of Major Lazer's back-up dancers. It features cameos by Cabello, Scott and Major Lazer members.[6] Daydreaming works as his escape,[7] since the one constant between both worlds is his love of dance, as noted by writer Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone.[8] An interactive version of this video, directed by Philip Andelman, was released on July 28 and hosted by interactive-video people Eko, where users (just like the boy does in the original) can switch between the "dream" and "reality" storylines.[9]
