"Know by Now" is a song by English vocalist Robert Palmer. The song was released as a single in 1994 as the second single from the album Honey. The song was written solely by Palmer.
Released as the second single from the Honey album, the track was a solid commercial success, becoming a bigger success than the lead single "Girl U Want" which peaked at #57 in the UK. The single was also the most successful of the album's three singles, peaking at #25 in the UK for a total of 5 weeks. Although it failed to make any impact in America, the single peaked at #23 in Canada.
The single was Palmer's last top 30 entry on the UK singles chart.
The single was released on 7" vinyl and CD single within the UK and Europe only, using a "Radio Edit" of "Know by Now" as the main version. The song's main b-side was the non-album track "In the Stars" which was both written and produced by Palmer. The CD singles advertised "In the Stars" as previously unreleased.
The song's 7" vinyl was released in the UK only, featuring the "Radio Edit" of "Know by Now", with the track "Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You" as the b-side, a cover of the 1971/1976 singles by Marvin Gaye. "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)|Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You" was originally released as a single in 1991 from the 1990 album Don't Explain. The b-side was written by American singer-songwriter and musicians Marvin Gaye, Arthur "T-Boy" Ross and Leon Ware.
In the UK, a 2 part set was released, where the first CD single featured the "Radio Edit" of "Know by Now", "In the Stars", Palmer's 1988 hit song "Simply Irresistible" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)|Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You".
For the main CD single, released in America, Europe and as the second CD of the 2 part set in the UK, the main track was the "Radio Edit" of "Know by Now", with "In the Stars" as the main b-side, a remix of "Know by Now", created by Pino "Pinaxa" Pischetola, titled "(Pinaxa Mix)" and the song "She Makes My Day". "She Makes My Day" was written by Palmer, originally released as a 1988 hit single from his album Heavy Nova.
