Lucy Dacus performed a heartfelt cover of Daniel Caesar’s “Who Knows” on Triple J’s “Like a Version” series, featuring strings and inventive percussion. She chose the song for its poetic, uncertain love theme, which resonates with her 2025 album “Forever Is a Feeling.” The performance was recorded during her Australian Laneway Festival dates, and she will launch a North American tour in May. Dacus hopes Caesar appreciates the rendition, adding a personal touch to the cross‑genre tribute.
