You Don't Know is the debut single by gospel artist Kierra "Kiki" Sheard. The song was chosen as the lead single for Sheard's debut project, I Owe You. The song was specifically written and produced for Sheard by Rodney Jerkins for Darkchild Productions.

Song information

In 2001 Kierra's mother, Karen Clark-Sheard, was faced with a life-threatening crisis when a blood vessel burst during a scheduled hernia surgery. Her doctors only gave her a 2% chance of survival due to her complications. After the blood clot was surgically removed, Clark-Sheard fell into a coma. The coma lasted for weeks, but she made a miraculous recovery. Clark-Sheard's near-death experience is said to have inspired "You Don't Know".

Chart performance

"You Don't Know" managed to crack the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop singles list at number 84 and is one of the few singles by the artist to even chart while her full-length albums generally have charted well.
