[edit] Song Information

In 2001 Kierra's mother, Karen Clark-Sheard, was faced with a life-threatening crisis when a blood vessel burst during a scheduled hernia surgery. Her doctors only gave her a 2% chance of survival due to her complications. After the blood clot was surgically removed, Clark-Sheard fell into a coma. The coma lasted for weeks, but she made a miraculous recovery. Clark-Sheard's near-death experience is said to have inspired "You Don't Know".

[edit] Chart Performance

"You Don't Know" managed to crack the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop singles list at number 84 and has been the only single by the artist to date to even chart (with the exception of "Let Go" in Japan) while her full length albums generally charted well.
