I Know Where It's At was the All Saints debut single from their self titled album: All Saints. On August 9, 1997 the song was debuted on the National Lottery Live and the first performance on Top of the Pops was on September 2, 1997.

The song was released in 1997 and became their first Top 10 hit topping at #4. A total of 158,769 copies have been sold. The single was released in the US after All Saints scored their first number one hit with Never Ever.

In Asia, the song peaked at the top spot for 4 weeks or one month (technically), and it was the only song from a girl-group to have reached the pole position during that time second to the Spice Girls' Wannabe, making both acts rivals.

The song samples elements from Steely Dan's "The Fez".

I Know Where It's At was the first video released from the All Saints. It was to show the girls in an urban setting as the more streetwise variants of girl groups. The video has been shot with very little colour with the girls almost in black and white. It was directed by Alex Hemming.
