Background and composition

In an interview, RL Grime stated: "I've been a big fan of Daya from the jump. We first met when I helped produce her latest single, "New", and have been friends since. She has an incredibly unique and powerful voice, so when I first made the song I knew she'd be perfect for it. I sent her the demo, we met up the next day, and she knocked it out the park."[4]

"I Wanna Know" was RL Grime's first release since October 2017 and was the single released from RL Grime's latest album.[5] The album was later released on July 27, 2018.[6]

The song was released to iTunes on March 16, 2018 through WeDidit Records.[7]

Music video

The music video for the song was released to YouTube on Daya's channel on May 30, 2018.[8]

The video was set in the early 1990s, comprising Daya and a group of girls dancing at an old motel. The video was directed by Megan Park and celebrates female empowerment.[9][10]

In an interview, Daya explains: "I love the angle that Megan took on the messaging of the song; she took the desperation and hopelessness of the lyrics and spun them into more of an empowering feel through the gathering of supportive females in the space. Between that and the obvious early 90s references in the wardrobe and props, I think it was the most colorful and exciting shoot I’ve done to date. Excited for the world to see."[11]

gollark: I did not.
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.

gollark: My profile picture isn't a pizza, though?
gollark: For what purpose?
