Background

Dare to Know was recorded during the period between 2019 and 2020, where members of Yes exchanged ideas remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] It features co-lead and harmonised vocals between Howe and Jon Davison.

The song features an orchestral arrangement featuring an ascending brass refrain performed by Fame's Studio Orchestra, conducted by Oleg Kondratenko.[4] At the time of the song's release, Howe said: "The centrepiece leaves the orchestra alone to elaborate and develop the way the theme is heard, then augments the closing minutes of the song as it rests, with an acoustic guitar cadenza."[5]
