New Atlantic were signed to Liverpool's 3 Beat Records, which in turn signed the track to Pete Waterman's PWL Records; a remix was done by Love Decade, which became the most recognizable version. "I Know" also crossed over to the United States, where it reached number 15 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s Hot Dance Club Play chart in June 1992, where it was released on Tommy Boy Records. "I Know" would later be sampled by Chase & Status on their 2013 single "Count on Me".
New Atlantic also produced Berri's top 5 UK hit, a dance version of Elkie Brooks' "Sunshine After the Rain". The duo released a number of other records (including the UK No. 70 chart hit "Into the Future")<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/> and an album.
