"I Don't Wanna Know" is a song by American singer Mario Winans, featuring American rapper P. Diddy and Irish singer Enya. The song is based on a sample of the Fugees' song "Ready or Not", which in turn samples the synthesizer riff from Enya's song "Boadicea".[1] The drums are sampled from the end of EPMD's "You're a Customer".[2]

Released on February 17, 2004, "I Don't Wanna Know" spent eight consecutive weeks at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, behind the Usher singles "Yeah!" and "Burn", respectively,[3] and reached number one in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. It became a top-10 hit in many other countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, and New Zealand, and has received multiple sales certifications.

In 2023, record producer Metro Boomin, singer the Weeknd, and rapper 21 Savage released the single "Creepin'", a cover of the song mainly performed by the Weeknd, with a rap verse performed by 21 Savage instead of P. Diddy. Winans himself contributed to this version, while Diddy himself would be featured on the official remix of the song, released in March 2023.[4][5]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

The song is sung over a background track that samples "Boadicea" by Enya from her 1987 debut album Enya, inspired by the use of the sample in the Fugees' 1996 hit single "Ready or Not".[6] Winans said: "I first heard 'Boadicea' at the end of the movie Sleepwalkers about five or six years ago. It's something I always wanted to produce. Then when the Fugees did it, oh my God, I loved it."[7][8]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Vibe wrote that "Winans adds a simple stuttering beat that prevents the song from devolving into murky, saccharine Muzak. This is the secret of Winan's magic; the soft touch of the synthesizers and his gentle piano playing blend with the signature sound of the kick and snare – hard, unadorned, punching through the music's gauzy elegiac texture."[9]

Commercial performance

[edit | edit source]

"I Don't Wanna Know" peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and reached the same position on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.[10][11] It topped the Billboard Rhythmic chart and also peaked at number four on the Mainstream Top 40 ranking.[12][13] The song was a radio hit in Canada, reaching number two on Radio & Records' CHR/Pop Top 30 chart.[14] Outside North America, the song reached number one on the Eurochart Hot 100,[15] topping the charts of Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.[16][17][18] Across the rest of Europe, the song became a top-five hit in several regions, including Flanders, France, Ireland, Norway, and Switzerland.[19][20] In Australasia, "I Don't Wanna Know" peaked at number two in Australia and number three in New Zealand.[21][22]

An answer to "I Don't Wanna Know" sung from a female perspective, "You Should Really Know", was released later the same year as Winans' single, on August 30, 2004. Created by producers the Pirates, it features Shola Ama, Naila Boss, and Ishani, and it uses the same Enya sample as the original. Although it did not achieve the level of success Winans' single did in the US, it was a top-ten hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, and it also reached the top 50 in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, and Ireland.
