A Place We Knew is the debut studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Dean Lewis. The album was released on 22 March 2019. The album was announced in February 2019, with Lewis revealing that "all the songs were written through relationships I'd been in and houses I used to live in and hotel rooms".[3]

Of the album, Dean stated that "Things come and go so fast, but I wanted to make something authentic, raw",[4] describing the title as "encapsulat(ing) the bittersweet memories of past relationships".[5]

The album topped the Australian chart upon release. It will be supported by a US and European tour from February to April 2019, as well as a five-date Australia and New Zealand tour in May 2019.[5] During his musical guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 18 March 2019, Lewis performed "7 Minutes" and "Stay Awake" to support the release of the album.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2019, the album was nominated for three awards, winning Album of the Year and Best Male Artist.[6] and Song of the Year for "7 Minutes".[7]
