Taylor Swift’s new song will launch fans into infinity and beyond.
After all, in “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which she wrote for the upcoming Toy Story 5 film, Taylor makes a return to her country music roots—with the help of longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.
In the track, released June 5, Taylor sings about reuniting with someone or something she was formerly close to, the reminiscent lyrics backed by harmonica and a little extra twang in her voice.
“And I remembered I loved you / Came back when it mattered, I saw you,” the Grammy winner sings in the chorus. “Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile / Man, it’s been a while / But I knew it, I knew you.”
After being released on YouTube, many fans quickly took to the comment section to reflect on how for Taylor, it seemed like the returning friend in this song was country music.
“TAY COUNTRY IS SOOOO BACK,” one user wrote, while many referenced the very first album she released in 2006, writing, “This is exactly what I thought a Debut vault track would sound like.”
