"I just knew" or "I just know" can be understood as meaning, "I am certain," "I am sure," or "the one thing I know for sure." The speaker is stating that even if other things are uncertain, she is sure of this one fact (she just knew). You can use this expression to express your certainty in something. Ex: I just know that no matter what happens, I'll always do my best. Ex: I just knew that at the end of the day, everything was going to be okay.
