She didn’t just get the job because of her last name, though. Grey has a knack for writing about messed-up relationships, as she did as the songwriter behind Eminem and Rihanna’s hit collaboration “Love the Way You Lie,” and _Fifty Shades_ is the perfect opportunity for that. This song is called “I Know You,” and its lyrics resemble things Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) probably whispers longingly to Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) when they aren’t exploring their kinky sides. _Read next:_ [_How the Notorious Red Room Was Built in the_ ](http://time.com/3694128/how-the-notorious-red-room-was-built-in-the-fifty-shades-of-grey-movie/?xid=time%5Freadnext)[Fifty Shades of Grey](http://time.com/3694128/how-the-notorious-red-room-was-built-in-the-fifty-shades-of-grey-movie/?xid=time%5Freadnext)[ _Movie_](http://time.com/3694128/how-the-notorious-red-room-was-built-in-the-fifty-shades-of-grey-movie/?xid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ## Transcript [00:09] So this is just an interview for the newspaper. I [00:13] just have a couple of questions. Mr. Gray will see you [00:17] now. [ MUSIC ] What [00:25] was he like? He was polite, [00:31] intense, smart really [00:35] intimidating.
