I Know Where It's At

"I Know Where It's At" was written by Shaznay Lewis and Karl Gordon, and produced by Gordon. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are credited as writers because the song samples elements from Steely Dan's "The Fez".

The song received positive reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic picked it as one of the "standouts" from All Saints, describing it as "party-ready" and "Steely Dan-fueled".{{cite web|first= Stephen Thomas |last= Erlewine |title= All Saints – All Saints |publisher= AllMusic |access-date= 18 November 2020 |url= https://www.allmusic.com/album/all-saints-mw0001966040 |author-link= Stephen Thomas Erlewine}} Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "This all-female quartet has taken the UK by storm recently, prompting inevitable comparisons with the Spice Girls in the press. That doesn't really do them full justice—the song itself is actually very well written and the distinctive razorsharp vocal harmonies are the icing on the cake."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/90s/1997/MM-1997-10-04.pdf|title=Airborne|magazine=Music & Media|date=4 October 1997|page=18|access-date=23 December 2019}}

A reviewer from Music Week gave "I Know Where It's At" five out of five and named it Single of the Week, adding, "The London-based four-piece girl group's label debut is virtually all strong chorus and instant rhythm. Could be a smart move, so watch this one with care."{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1997/Music-Week-1997-08-09.pdf|title=Reviews: Singles|magazine=Music Week|date=9 August 1997|page=12|accessdate=16 August 2022}} Paul Martin from The News Letter stated, "The groovy party theme is just the tonic for any winter blues. Nicole and Melanie take lead vocals and the brilliant harmonies of Natalie and Shaznay dress the song in a superb gloss." He concluded, "Undoubtedly the most impressive track on the collection."Martin, Paul (20 December 1997). "More Girl Power". The News Letter. Rob Brunner from Entertainment Weekly felt that "their upbeat ditties", like "I Know Where It's At", "are their best, but even those tracks cook over a low-to-medium flame."Brunner, Rob (13 March 1998). "The Week: Music". Entertainment Weekly. Issue 422.

The accompanying music video for "I Know Where It's At" was directed by Alex Hemming. It was the first video All Saints ever released. It was to show the girls in an urban setting as the more streetwise variants of girl groups. The video was shot with very little colour, with the girls almost entirely in black and white.
