For the opening track to When I Found The Trap Door, BONZIE presents an immediately transportive piece that perfectly encapsulates the unbridled imagination and highly sophisticated musicianship that infused every aspect of the album’s creation. Initially written on piano, “Do You Know Who I Am?” slowly blossomed into a sprawling pop fantasia whose soundscape includes everything from lilting felt-piano melodies to glitched-out synth tones to a lavish orchestral section arranged by Nathaniel Walcott of the band Bright Eyes and electronic percussion
from SML’s Jeremiah Chiu. “The process of making this song was a very long journey of finding practical ways to execute the production ideas that came to me as I was writing it—it almost felt like making a sculpture,” says Ferraro. “So many of those ideas were very esoteric and abstract, but what I ended up with is almost scarily accurate to what I’d envisioned.”“Do You Know Who I Am” takes on the nebulous nature of identity and arrives alongside a mesmerizingly ethereal music video, directed by Jasper Soloff (Tinashe, Tate McRae) and edited by Luis Caraza (Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, Charli XCX).
“I feel we're all on a journey -- until the clock runs out -- to convince the world of our identities,” shares BONZIE on the new single. “There is a certain sense of desperation to both hold onto that identity and also distribute it. I don't think social media started this -- I think humans have always been this way -- but perhaps we see the phenomenon more clearly and obviously through social media. It's neither good nor bad; it's just the nature of the journey we're all on. What does it mean to be authentically ‘ourselves’ amidst the pressures of conforming to expectations of our society and culture? Who are we to other people? How does that affect who we are to ourselves? Do you know who I am; will you believe it in time?”
