Mr. Know It All es el single que Teddy Swims lanzó el 10 de abril de 2026 a través de Warner Records, y que da nombre a su nuevo álbum. La canción habla de esa sensación de saber, desde el principio, cómo va a acabar una relación, y de cómo esa capacidad de anticiparse acaba convirtiéndose en una condena: te proteges de antemano, y esa distancia es precisamente lo que hace que la relación fracase.
El propio Swims lo explicó diciendo que el tema explora cómo el amor puede convertirse en una contradicción que se cumple a sí misma: cuando crees que ya sabes cómo va a terminar, te proteges guardando las distancias, y esa distancia acaba siendo la razón del fracaso.
Musicalmente es una mezcla de rock de aire ochentero con producción de R&B, escrita por el propio Swims junto a Alexander Izquierdo, Ed Drewett, Joshua Coleman, Julian Bunetta y Rosie Danvers, y producida por Ammo, Bunetta y John Ryan.
Teddy Swims, de Georgia, se dio a conocer en YouTube haciendo versiones de todo tipo de géneros con su voz soul característica, antes de convertirse en uno de los nombres más grandes del pop y R&B actual gracias a éxitos como Lose Control.

También existe una versión de piano de la canción, mucho más desnuda e íntima, que merece la pena escuchar:
Letra:
She like the low, she like the high
I've seen it all too many times
Geronimo, she's dropping by
Fork in the road, this fate of mine
I can't act like I don't keep dressing for the storm, then blame the sky
Oh, I know I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't
Wherever I end up, it's never no surprise
Should've told you I could see this coming
Like I'm looking right into a crystal ball
When I fall in love, it's with misfortune
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Give you everything you say you wanted
See the future like it's written on the wall
You're the only thing that's missing from it
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Mr. Know It All (Mr.)
Pulling dominoes from a coffee can
Set 'em up and watch 'em fall, do it over again
Like a tennis ball through a ceiling fan
Bet you never end up falling back in my hands, oh
Should've told you I could see this coming (see this coming)
Like I'm looking right into a crystal ball
When I fall in love, it's with misfortune
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Give you everything you say you wanted (say you wanted)
See the future like it's written on the wall
You're the only thing that's missing from it (missing from it)
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
I don't wanna stay (stay), I don't wanna run
I already know what this'll become
I'm watching you dance and falling in love
I'm getting way too close to the sun
Should've told you I could see this coming (coming)
Like I'm lookin' right into a crystal ball
When I fall in love, it's with misfortune (oh, it's with misfortune)
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Give you everything you say you wanted (you say you wanted)
See the future like it's written on the wall (written on the wall)
You're the only thing that's missing from it (missing from it)
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Mr. Know It All (Mr. Know It All)
(Mr., Mr, Know It All, Mr.)
Mr. Know It All
