“You Gotta Know” by Collaborations brings heart, hope, and harmony together in one beautiful track. It follows the group’s first album release, “Songs Of The Heart”, and keeps the same spirit of authentic storytelling and soulful craftsmanship that fans have come to love. Written by Ed Daniels, the creative force behind Collaborations, along with co-writer and vocalist Anais Preller, the song feels honest and deeply personal from the very first note.
Anais delivers a smooth, emotional performance that perfectly matches the song’s uplifting tone. Under the production of Vic Steffens at Horizon Studio, every layer of sound feels alive and intentional. Matt Oestreicher’s orchestration adds a graceful flow, giving the music both depth and movement. The song also features an impressive team of musicians, including Grammy winner Scott Spray, Tim Dehuff, Tommy Naggy, Kevin Monroe, Simone Brown, and the talented members of the Devotion team. Their combined energy creates a sound that feels warm and full of life.
“You Gotta Know” speaks to trust, resilience, and self-belief. It’s a reminder that real strength often comes from within. Personally, I found this track inspiring and grounded. It’s the kind of song that leaves you feeling lighter, as if someone whispered, “Keep going, you’ve got this.” From my own experience listening, this release feels both classic and fresh, with a sincerity that’s rare in today’s music. It’s easy to connect with, easy to replay, and impossible not to smile along to. Be sure to follow Collaborations and stay tuned for more heartfelt releases.
