Overview
- The single, which debuted Friday, June 5, is available on major streaming platforms and is confirmed for the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.
- Taylor Swift wrote and produced the track with Jack Antonoff and said she wrote it after an early screening because it fit Jessie’s perspective in the film.
- Director Andrew Stanton praised the song’s fit with the movie, saying it felt like it had “always belonged there,” and Disney/Pixar tied the track to Jessie’s reunion arc in promotional materials.
- Swift sold limited CD and two collector 10-inch vinyl editions on her webstore that sold out rapidly, a move that amplified fan buzz and promotional attention.
- Observers note the song’s return to country-leaning sounds and link it to the Toy Story franchise’s history of awards attention for original songs, which could increase awards and box-office interest ahead of the June premiere.
