Following a groundswell of fan requests and viral momentum, rising U.K. alt-pop artist Absolutely has officially released her swelling new single, “I Just Don’t Know You Yet,” via Epic Records. The emotive ballad arrives as a boundless affirmation of her signature style – raw, cinematic, and rooted in hopeful vulnerability.

Backed by grand piano chords and the warmth of analog static, “I Just Don’t Know You Yet” finds Absolutely at her most open-hearted. Her soulful voice blooms across lyrics that imagine a future love not yet met: “I been talking to you, I been writing stories in my head / Of how it’s gonna go, when I know that I know, it’s you I’ll spend forever with.” The track crescendos into a thunderous chorus underscored by crashing cymbals and swirling guitars, culminating in a declaration of emotional rebirth “I just don’t know you yet / but I know you’ve been sent from God to teach me to love again.”

The song’s studio release follows a viral spark earlier this month, when Absolutely debuted it live during her North American tour with BANKS. Footage of a rapturous standing ovation in Arizona ignited TikTok, and fans flooded to her socials with demands to hear the full version. Her follower count tripled within three weeks, and a snippet of the official track – shared last week – drew over a million views and praise from artists including Kehlani, Zara Larsson, Julia Michaels, and her sister Raye. The GRAMMYs even chimed in, calling her performance “effortless.”

The track reunited Absolutely with producer Dave Hemlin (Beyoncé, 070 Shake), her longtime collaborator on 2023’s acclaimed debut album CEREBRUM. That release earned her features in NYLON, Flaunt, and Euphoria, while her visual work for songs like “24 Hours” and “Higher” cemented her immersive creative aesthetic.

With “I Just Don’t Know You Yet,” Absolutely adds a defining moment to her fast-growing catalog – one that singnals not just the next chapter, but a full evolution. The release builds on the momentum of her recent single “Goodbye Glitter” and her string of live performances featuring unreleased material, teasing what’s to come from her highly anticipated second project.

For Absolutely, this is more than a viral win – it’s a reminder that sincerity, when sung with soul, always finds its way to the hearts of millions.
