"I Know Where It's At" is the debut single by English-Canadian girl group All Saints. Released from their self-titled debut album All Saints in August 1997, it debuted on the National Lottery Live 9 August 1997 and was first performed on Top of the Pops on 2 September 1997. The song became the group's first top-ten hit, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, the single reached to number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song additionally reached the top 20 in Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Israel and New Zealand. Show Background[edit]"I Know Where It's At" was written by Shaznay Lewis and Karl Gordon, and produced by Gordon. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are credited as writers because the song samples elements from Steely Dan's "The Fez". Critical reception[edit]The song received positive reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic picked it as one of the "standouts" from All Saints, describing it as "party-ready" and "Steely Dan-fueled".[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "This all-female quartet has taken the UK by storm recently, prompting inevitable comparisons with the Spice Girls in the press. That doesn't really do them full justice—the song itself is actually very well written and the distinctive razorsharp vocal harmonies are the icing on the cake."[3] Music Week rated "I Know Where It's At" five out of five, picking it as Single of the Week. The reviewer added, "The London-based four-piece girl group's label debut is virtually all strong chorus and instant rhythm. Could be a smart move, so watch this one with care."[4] Paul Martin from The News Letter stated, "The groovy party theme is just the tonic for any winter blues. Nicole and Melanie take lead vocals and the brilliant harmonies of Natalie and Shaznay dress the song in a superb gloss." He concluded, "Undoubtedly the most impressive track on the collection."[5] Music video[edit]The accompanying music video for "I Know Where It's At" was directed by Alex Hemming. It was the first video All Saints ever released. It was to show the girls in an urban setting as the more streetwise variants of girl groups. The video was shot with very little colour, with the girls almost entirely in black and white. Track listings[edit]
