Sheryl Crow Releases New Song “I Know” for Mental Health Awareness Month
American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow released a new song “I Know” on May 23, 2025, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
The song is the follow-up to the collaborative song "You and Me Time" with British singer-songwriter James Bay, which was released last month.
The track was written and produced by Sheryl Crow.
Sheryl Crow said of the song, “May is Mental Health Awareness month. In a recent moment when I was really struggling, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song. I sent it to some friends and got such a strong reaction that I'm going to put it out this week - it's called 'I Know'. Sometimes when we're struggling, just knowing that another soul can relate to what we're feeling makes things a little bit better. That's what this song is about.”- She continued, “At times, our challenges can seem so overwhelming that we need professional help, which for a lot of folks isn't always easy to find or access. I recently came across a mental health charity that resonated with me called To Write Love On Her Arms - their mission statement is 'presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.' When we're struggling, we all need hope. And when you add help to hope, you can overcome huge challenges.”

She added, “And this I REALLY love: they have a 'Disconnect to Reconnect' challenge which encourages people to get off social media for two weeks and reconnect what matters most. Social media isn't really great for anyone's emotional well-being, so encouraging folks to out the phone down and enjoy nature, family and friends, music. I do that all the time, and I know how beneficial it is to take a break.” - source : Apple Music
