“How Did You Know” finds Alexander Blane confessing the moment a casual connection turned into something deeper than he expected. She called it from the start—telling him it would end up like this—and now he’s living inside her prediction. Blane paints her as a sweet vice he can’t quit: hands in the “cookie jar,” cravings getting stronger, pride slipping, and emotions showing up in a way he “doesn’t usually” do.

With vivid lines like “some sort of sorcery” and “you’ve been sending sirens,” the record feels like a late-night realization: he wasn’t looking for a soul tie, but he got pulled into one anyway. It’s seductive, self-aware, and emotionally honest—a song about the scary part of love: when someone knows your heart before you do.
