Colt Graves Releases New Track 'You Know Me'

UMG Nashville singer-songwriter Colt Graves has released “You Know Me.” Written by Graves, Jordan Centers, Everett Alan Richeson and Michael Warren Lisenby, the track was produced by Jake Parshall.

 The song “You Know Me” tackles sensitive aspects of a relationship with lyrics including I’ve tried to change but I can’t // Not all sinners wanna be saints //  Yeah, the tables turned, yeah it burns // But I don’t learn from my mistakes // 'Cause I lie, and I cheat // And I smoke when I drink // And I know you’ve heard things // That they say about me…I know I’ve done you wrong // All the nights I didn’t come home // When I left you all alone // When your heart was broke but you still had hope so you left the porch light on.

“‘You Know Me,’ is about personal growth and acknowledging your errors through self-discovery in an honest way,” said Graves. “It’s sensitive subject matter for sure, but it really shows the complete other side that what’s normally talked about. I really wanted to prioritize releasing genuine music that lines up with who I am as an artist. This is one of those songs.”
