“We Both Know” - Jesabel

With "We Both Know", Jesabel delivers her first-ever love song, and it lands not with fireworks, but with a sigh, a shimmer, and a slow, haunting ache. It’s not hearts and roses — it’s the real, raw tension between the ideal and the actual, the love we dream of versus the messier, more fragile love we actually live out.
In true artist fashion, she didn’t just write a song about love — she moved to Paris. The Quartier Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The same streets where Simone de Beauvoir and Sartre strolled. Jesabel is in full bohemian vagabond mode, collaborating with local creatives, gathering vignettes of beauty and bittersweetness to wrap around this song like a silk scarf in a smoky jazz bar.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Jonathan Grant Berlin at The Loft Studio (L.A.), "We Both Know" floats in like a fog — dreamy, mystical, atmospheric. But don’t let the soft glow fool you — under that airy sheen lies some serious emotional grit.
The soundscape is cinematic and slow-burning, creating an ambient texture. The minimal yet deeply expressive arrangement is not overproduced, but emotionally engineered. Jesabel’s vocals drift like a secret, moving from breathy vulnerability to quiet assertion. It’s the kind of track that feels as intimate as a whispered confession, and just as delicate.
This isn’t just a vocal performance. This is Jesabel’s full vision, pen to page, feeling to frequency. That full writing credit matters. You can hear it — the honesty in the phrasing, the nuance in the pauses. There’s something distinctly lived-in about these lyrics. You don’t write lines like this unless you’ve been face-to-face with the soul vs. ego tug-of-war that love becomes.

It’s less “happily ever after” and more “We’re trying, and that’s beautiful too.”
There’s power in that contrast — what love feels like in dreams vs. how it survives in daylight.
Jesabel’s choice to base herself in Paris for the visual rollout isn’t just aesthetic — it’s thematic. The city’s contradictions — elegance and grime, beauty and loneliness, passion and disillusion — mirror the soul of the track. She’s capturing the whole story, not just the honeymoon phase.
Expect visuals that are tender, poetic, and rich in quiet emotion — this is a song that demands long shadows and late-night longing.
"We Both Know" is the softest gut-punch of a debut love song — emotionally articulate, musically ethereal, and deeply human. It marks a turning point for Jesabel, not just as a singer but as a songwriter. Vulnerable, mature, and gorgeously produced, this track proves she’s not interested in surface-level sentiment — she’s diving deep.
It’s the kind of song you play at 2am, with headphones on, as you stare out the window wondering if love is ever really what we thought it would be.
And the answer? We both know.
