Facts about “Dunno”

  • Mac teamed up with songwriter and producer Parson Brown to pen this song.
  • Aside co-penning “Dunno”, Brown also produced it. Mac and Jon Brion are also contributed additional production to this track.
  • “Dunno” was released on 3rd August, 2018.
  • The track appears on the album Swimming. Swimming, which was Mac’s fifth studio album, ended up being the last album Mac’s label released during his lifetime. Mac died prematurely of a drug overdose about a month after the release of Swimming. He was only 26 years old when he met his demise.
  • No music video was made for this song. It’s not clear why. However, it is possible that Mac’s sudden death could have been a reason why the song has no video.
  • On November 28, 2018, a piano based live version of “Dunno” was released posthumously by Spotify. Mac had recorded that version of “Dunno” live at Spotify’s studios in New York shortly before his death. He recorded that track along with a cover of Billy Preston’s 1974 single “Nothing From Nothing“. Spotify released both songs as a mini-EP titled Spotify Singles Mac Miller.

Was “Dunno” released as a single?

No. Swimming produced only three singles, including “Self Care“. “Dunno” wasn’t one of these singles.

After Mac Miller passed away, it appeared that he still had some music in the vault. For example, during the tribute concert in his honor, a video was shown of him playing an unreleased song on piano. Before he died, he also recorded a Spotify Singles session, and now the two-song release has been shared.

For the session, Miller kept things instrumentally sparse, performing with just piano and vocals on a new version of Swimming highlight “Dunno.” These releases typically feature a cover song as well, and for this one, Miller decided to perform a soulful rendition of the 1974 No. 1 single “Nothing From Nothing” by Billy Preston, who is also known for his work with The Beatles and others. The posthumous release shows that Miller still had plenty left in the tank, and that there was surely more special work to come from Miller post-Swimming.

Miller often shared clips of himself playing the piano, and he previously said about playing instruments, “It’s a whole entire journey of self-exploration, because it’d be so easy to just throw a beat on and rap and call it an album. But I have to expose some part of myself that I’m uncomfortable with with every album. […] I’ve seen people who can really play, […] who can speak better through their instrument than they can in conversation.”
