I Didn't Know

Sofia Carson's song 'I Didn't Know' is a heartfelt exploration of the transformative power of love. The lyrics convey the protagonist's surprise and wonder at the depth and intensity of feelings that they had not previously experienced. The song begins with a reflection on the protagonist's life before their significant other entered it, suggesting a sense of completeness and self-assurance. However, as the relationship develops, they realize that there was something missing, something they 'never imagined' could exist for them.

The chorus of 'I Didn't Know' emphasizes the theme of discovery in love. The protagonist acknowledges that they were unaware of the true nature of love until they experienced it firsthand. This love is portrayed as all-encompassing, accepting 'the good, the bad, the in-between'—a love that embraces the entirety of a person. The repeated phrase 'I didn't know' serves as a mantra of awakening to the possibilities of love and the profound impact it can have on one's life.

The song also touches on the idea that love can be chaotic yet perfect, suggesting that the challenges faced together have strengthened the bond between the lovers. The imagery of being 'safe and sound' in someone's arms while the world is 'upside down' captures the sense of security and exhilaration that comes with a deep connection. Sofia Carson's emotive delivery and the song's lyrical vulnerability resonate with listeners who have discovered love in unexpected places or have been surprised by the depth of their own emotions.
