Championed for his mesmerising voice and unfiltered talent, who knew, exemplifies the compelling narrative that Le Saint consistently delivers, amplifying his position as one of the UK’s finest vocalists as he crafts a poignant tale of unexpected heartache and bitter truths, told through the rawness of his powerful vocals.
Lyrically, who knew grapples with the disillusionment of uncovering the hidden flaws of a loved one, a sentiment that echoes with brutal honesty in Le Saint’s verse, Who knew, who knew / You had that side to you / You knew! You knew / That I’d die for you. Accompanied by delicate guitar chords, this song underscores the intimate vulnerability that is a trademark of his work.
The stripped-down arrangement mirrors the stark honesty of the lyrics, allowing Santino’s soulful voice to shine. This formula echoes his previously released acoustic ballad, Whisky & Wine, further establishing his niche in the music industry as a purveyor of raw emotion encased in beautifully haunting melodies.

SANTINO LE SAINT WHO KNEW LYRICS
Chorus
Who knew? Who knew
You had that side to you
You knew! You knew
That I’d die for you
Who knew, who knew
What a bitter truth
Thought it was us
And now it’s me and you
Verse
You moved to the clouds
So I could see through
Dark days, you led the way
And pullin’ me through
It didn’t matter
You strung out a tune
I said: “do you know I’m in love with you”
She said: “that’s nice”
And ripped me in two
She left, oh my god
What’s a guy to do?
It’s better
Chorus
Who knew? Who knew
You had that side to you
You knew! You knew
That I’d die for you
Who knew, who knew
What a bitter truth
Thought it was us
And now it’s me and you
Who knew? Who knew
You had that side to you
You knew! You knew
That I’d die for you
Who knew, who knew
What a bitter truth
Thought it was us
And now it’s me and you
