Knock Knock by Mac Miller Song Info
With an earworm sample from Linda Scott’s “I’ve Told Every Little Star,” the lead single from Mac Miller’s mixtape "K.I.D.S." peaked at #88 on the Hot 100 after getting a boost in popularity when HBO’s 24/7 Flyers/Rangers: Road to the NHL Winter Classic revealed that the Flyers used it as a victory song. Music video director Rex Arrow provided some background information on “Knock Knock”: "When Malcolm first played me the track, we both kind of jumped to ‘It would be cool to do something that was kind of a throwback.’ That sort of slowly evolved, and the idea of mixing black and white, and color came in. I had done some dance stuff in college, and musical theatre in high school. I was like, ‘Look, man, it may sound strange but I think it would be cool if we kinda did something that felt a little Westside Story.’ It was a cold day in November. We shot the whole thing in one day, which is crazy to think about now." “Knock Knock” was certified platinum by the RIAA on August 19, 2021.
