A música “I Should Have Known Better” foi lançada em 1984 como o single principal do álbum de estreia solo de Jim Diamond, Double Crossed (1985).
O single ocupou o número 1 na parada britânica por exatamente uma semana, em dezembro de 1984, antes de ser substituído por “The Power of Love” de Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Em um gesto de solidariedade, Diamond pediu que os fãs não comprassem seu próprio single e, em vez disso, adquirissem o single beneficente “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” da Band Aid.
“I Should Have Known Better” foi regravada três vezes: na versão de 1993 para o álbum homônimo *Jim Diamond*, na faixa *Blue Shoes* de 2005 (que também incluía outra regravação de “I Won’t Let You Down” e covers de soul, como “My Girl”).
A faixa é marcada por ter sido parte de três lançamentos distintos na carreira solo de Jim Diamond, demonstrando sua persistência em revisitar e reinterpretar a mesma composição ao longo de anos.
