"I Know the End" is a song by American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers. It was released on July 29, 2020 as the fourth single from her second studio album, Punisher (2020).[1] The song is a "three-part suite" that talks about depression, euphoria, and the apocalypse that culminates in a cathartic scream.[2] It has been described as chamber pop,[3] though Bridgers describes it as a "big metal song".[4] Several of Bridgers' frequent collaborators are featured on the song, including Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, Better Oblivion Community Center bandmate Conor Oberst, and Copycat Killer producer Rob Moose.
