"Eye Know" is a single from De La Soul's landmark album "3 Feet High and Rising".It peaked at number 14 on the UK singles chart.

Released during rap's Golden Age of 1986-1992, the song is an upbeat, feelgood love jam featuring a whistle sample from Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay". The song also includes samples from Steely Dan's "Peg" and Sly & The Family Stone. At the time of its release, sampling laws were very liberal and the now-requisite task of clearing, or even obtaining permission, for using famous songs were almost non-existent. Nevertheless, "Eye Know" is much more famous for its poetically phrased musings on the wonders of love and of course for its pioneering sampling techniques.

This song was used on Match of the Day 2 as background music during the showing of Saturday's goals until the end of the 07/08 season.
