Background and composition
Over email, Nav told The Fader about a studio session that led to the making of the song: "I was recording on of a lot of my own beats & of other producers. When I ran out I asked my engineer Pro Logic to play me some of his own beats -one of the first ones he played me became 'Know Me'."[1]
The song, beginning with a name-drop to Balenciaga, finds Nav melodically rapping about his sexual conquests with women, collection of VVS diamonds and fame, calling himself the "hottest brown boy in the game".[2][3]
Music video
The music video was released on November 2, 2018 and directed by David Camarena. In it, Nav parks his bright red Ferrari in the driveway of a mansion.[4] He struts through the insides of it, which is splattered in glow in the dark paint, in the company of "scantily clad" women and a python.[1][4]
