“IDK You Yet” by Alexander 23

The title of this track (“IDK You Yet”), when spelled out in its entirety, actually reads “I don’t know you yet”. And the reason Alexander 23 named it so is because he is addressing someone who he has yet to meet. Or more specifically, the person he is singing to is a romantic interest. But it will be someone that he is fantasizing about meeting in the future as opposed to a girlfriend he has in the present. And apparently, the reason he is compelled to behave in such a manner is because he is going through some type of depression. Thus the implication is that he does not actually have anyone presently to help him feel better. 

You can view the lyrics, alternate interprations and sheet music for Alexander 23's IDK You Yet at Lyrics.org.

So the lyrics are two-fold in nature.  In one regard he is actually expressing affection for this hypothetical individual. In fact he is imploring her to cross paths with him soon, and he fantasizing about what type of sweetheart she will actually be. And on the second hand, there is the sense that his life, as it stands now, is less-than-ideal from a social standpoint.

      This song doesn’t have to be about a romantic partner…. I am adopted and have never met my birth father. He passed away in 2018 and as it turns out, my birth mom lied to him and he never even knew I existed, he thought she got an abortion.

      This song hits so close to home, I’ve dreamt about him once since learning who he was 2 years ago, and in my dream I told him that I loved him and he said “I’ve always loved you”. I miss him so much despite never meeting him, from what his brother says, we would of been 2 peas in a pod.

    This song honestly made me cry. I have an online friend that I don’t get to talk to that much but they are one of my closest friends. I technically haven’t met them yet, but I miss them every single day. They just,,, really understand me, I guess. But yeah, this song basically makes me think of them and our (platonic) relationship and my emotions about our relationship. The song just really pictures everything about my struggles and wanting to met and talk with them more. Yeah. <3

    There’s this guy that I met online. We talked for almost 2 years. He’s like an imaginary boyfriend lol but he’s not. He’s real, my close friends even know about us, our peculiar situation.

    His situation won’t allow him to reveal himself to me. He’s involved in something that is out of his control. And I can’t continue having a relationship that’s set up like that (he knows me, idk him). For my mental health, I need to cut him off. And yeah, I did. I love him, I really do. And this song hits me so hard bc I f***ing miss him. I miss you, Marcos. It’s still you. If mabasa ni nimo, I hope okay na ang tanan and mupaila pa ka nako. I hope imo ikeep imo promise. And I hope ana na time, tagaan ta og chance sa panahon magkaila like fr 🙁

      you’ll find another love 😉 if he actually wanted to be in a relationship with you he would’ve revealed himself for you, no matter the situation.

      hala im super relate 🙁 i was also talking to a guy for almost 2years and i also met him online, and yeah very similar to your story he never revealed himself to me i know a lot of things about him but makakduda lang sometimes pero knang feeling btaw nga gka enjoy ka mskan chat or text lang kanng di na mag matter saimo kung unsa iyang itsura kung magpakita ba sya or dili bsta ang importante happy ka. But i also cut him off medyo creepy nman gud.

      This song hits different. It’s been two years? I guess since I discovered this song and I can relate to it even in the first place. I always have that feeling. Like… Need someone to be with me and join me there while I’m on my rough time. Most of the time, I’m missin’ someone, someone that I don’t even know who. And wonderin’ who and how does he look like, when will be our right time and our paths cross together. Also, waiting for him to come and have the feeling that it’s worth the wait. I’m always tellin’ myself that I should go and enjoy this teenage phase of my life, discover and explore the new things on my own. Also, do the craziest thing ever. Cuz’ they say teenage life is worst but the best phase in our life and there are so many things that you can discover. But I can’t help but feel lost and incomplete sometimes, don’t have the energy to go out and socialize with others. Honestly, sometimes I want to risk everything just to find the right one even though I know that it’s still not the right time for the two of us. Yes I want to but still won’t do it cuz I keep on trusting god’s perfect time. He knows the best for all of us and he’s the author of our life and journey. So here I am still missin’ that someone and keeps on waitin’ for the right time, also enjoyin’ this journey. Cheers for the right time!

    I love this song so much it makes me cry tho. I feel him so much. I’ve been though this stuff and it makes me sad. My online best friend and I got separated and I haven’t talk to him for months and he was the only person that understanded me and I have no one else to talk about my feelings and every girl tells all my other friends I only have guy friends because of this. This song is just so understanding💗

    I always had that same feeling…of missing someone I haven’t met yet. For many years.. and I am still waiting for someone Idk. I always wonder what he looks like. I feel bad for all my exes coz I’ve never been serious with them. I tried but I can’t still get over with this feeling that I haven’t met him yet. I can’t explain clearly. It’s complicated

    Yesterday I find out that I have blighted ovum, I’m still emotionally numb. “How can you miss someone you’ve never met? I need you now, but idk you yet. But can you find me soon cause I’m in my head..” 😭

    Its how this song really relates to how i am feeling lately. No one really gets how i feel and no one understands me the way i want to be understood. I just hope my soulmate is somewhere looking for me. Xoxo
