Taylor Swift has unveiled an original song for Toy Story 5: "I Knew It, I Knew You," a return to country music.
The song "I Knew It, I Knew You" was released on streaming services at midnight last night, shortly after she announced the single's release earlier this week. Along with the song, she posted a vintage video on social media featuring herself as a little girl in a red cowboy hat and a shirt embroidered with boots.
«"Writing this song was both a musical departure and a homecoming for me," she wrote in the post. "Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge, and at the same time, it felt completely natural. And being @toystory's baby from age 5 until now... it's an adventure I plan to be on until infinity and beyond.".
She continued, "Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for introducing me to this film all those years ago when he was writing the script. Thank you to the incomparable @randynewmanofficial for the magnificent soundscape of songs and soundtracks he painstakingly crafted over many years. You created the world of Toy Story the Musical, and we are lucky to live in it. By 'we,' I mean myself and my friend @jackantonoff. We wrote this with such adoration for these characters who made us laugh and helped us learn and think outside the box throughout our childhoods.".
Swift co-produced and co-wrote the song with Jack Antonoff, who reunited with her for the first time since "The Tortured Poets Department." In addition to the digital single, Swift is offering CD and vinyl versions of the track, though physical copies quickly sold out.
Toy Story 5 premieres on June 9 and hits theaters on June 19.
