"Lover" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, taken from her seventh studio album of the same name (2019). It was released on August 16, 2019, via Republic Records, as the third single preceding the album. Inspired by moving-in with her partner, Swift puts a spin on marriage vows in "Lover" and delivers intimate lyrics exhibiting romantic devotion.

A indie-folk ballad and country waltz, "Lover" takes cues from vintage pop and torch songs, built around a slow tempo, bass riff, booming snare and acoustic instrumentals. The song received universal acclaim from music critics, who praised its nostalgic quality and whimsical lyricism. Its music video premiered on August 22, 2019, a day before the release of Lover, and was directed by Swift and Drew Kirsch, featuring dancer Christian Owens as Swift's love interest. The video adopts a Christmas aesthetic, and follows a couple living inside a dollhouse that has seven distinctly colored rooms, located inside a snow globe. Swift debuted the song live at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.

The single reached top-ten positions in many countries worldwide: It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the album's third consecutive top-ten single in the United States. Elsewhere, the song entered the top-five in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore, and the top-ten in Canada and Ireland. Swift released a duet version of the song, featuring Canadian singer Shawn Mendes on November 13, 2019. On November 26, 2019, Swift released an orchestral remix of the song, titled "First Dance Remix". Both remixes received warm reviews from music critics. A live version of the song, recorded at Swift's 2019 one-off City of Lover concert in Paris, was released on May 17, 2020, following the premiere of the concert film on ABC.

"Lover" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 62nd Grammy Awards. It also scored two nominations at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, Best Pop Video and Best Art Direction. Several publications named "Lover" as one of the best songs of 2019.

Jack Antonoff co-produced "Lover".

Describing her seventh studio album Lover as a "love letter to love",[1] Swift attempted to convey an emotional spectrum and vulnerability by looking at emotions including sadness and loneliness "through a romantic gaze".[2] The album took under three months to record; recording ended in February 2019.[3] Jack Antonoff co-produced the album; his role was announced with the release of "The Archer" in July. Antonoff, who co-produced 11 of the 18 tracks for the album and co-wrote eight of them,[4] had collaborated with Swift on "Sweeter than Fiction" (2013), 1989 (2014), "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" (2016) and Reputation (2017).[5]

Swift wrote "Lover" late one night at her home in Nashville, Tennessee on the piano, and sent a voice memo of the song to Antonoff.[6] She flew to New York City the next day to work on the song with Antonoff and recording engineer Laura Sisk at Electric Lady Studios. Swift played the song on the piano for them; Swift and Antonoff produced the final version of the song during a six-hour recording session, using reverberation, a piano and a Mellotron.[7] Sisk and John Rooney recorded the song while Serban Ghenea mixed it with additional engineering from John Hanes.[8]

I was sitting up at the piano up in my loft, and I had the chorus. It just kind of happened immediately. It was one of those ones that I wrote very very, very quickly. And I was working out the cadence of the first verse and it just sort of fell together. But then I took some time to write the bridge because I wanted to really level up with that bridge. That one would for me would be less of a ranting bridge and more of a story-time fable type bridge. Sometimes I like to imagine a bridge as like a sort of fairy-tale lullaby fable expanding upon a song that has been not as detailed until that point. "Can I go where you go/ Can we always be this close forever and ever" is less detail, then when you go to the bridge and you realize like, oh, it just got really personal in the bridge. It expands on it all.

— Taylor Swift, "9 Taylor Swift Moments That Didn't Fit in Our Cover Story", Rolling Stone[9]

The song's title was revealed along with the lyrics; "My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue / All's well that ends well to end up with you" in a Vogue interview published on August 8, 2019. Three days later, Swift announced its release date at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards.[10] "Lover" was released as the third single from the album on August 16, 2019.[11][12][13] A lyric video showing home videos of Swift projected onto a white sheet with the song's lyrics overlaid was uploaded to YouTube.[14]

Composition and lyrics

"Lover" was written by Swift and produced by Swift and Antonoff. It runs for three minutes and forty-one seconds,[15][16] and is written in the key of G major and set in 12
8 with a tempo of 74 beats per minute, with Swift's vocals ranging between E3 to D5.[17] Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph and Louise Bruton of The Irish Times characterized "Lover" as a country song,[18][19] although Billboard's Jason Lipshutz disagreed with this assessment; " 'Lover' is not a country song, but it certainly nods to the bare songwriting that marked much of Swift's early career".[20] Lars Brandle of Billboard considered it a pop song.[21] The A.V. Club's Annie Zaleski called it a hazy indie folk and vintage country torch song, and pointed out the usage of pizzicato strings and waltzing tempo.[22]

"Lover"
"Lover" is a slow indie folk and country ballad with a nostalgic retro sound, centred on a waltzing tempo. Swift sings the romantic lyrics in a whimsical tone, over a bass guitar groove, a prominent booming snare, swaying acoustics and pizzicato strings.

Rolling Stone said "Lover" has "tender lyrics about devotion over a retro-styled musical motif".[23] Billboard described it as "an old-school ballad with a booming snare, keys and a '60s vibe".[24] NME's Karen Gwee considered the "guitar-centric" song a throwback to Swift's "country days".[25] Abby Aguirre of Vogue described it as a "romantic, haunting, waltzy, singer-songwritery nugget".[1] Hindustan Times wrote that the song "is rather slow and more of a romantic melody" and said the lyrics "make it seem like the song is an ode to someone".[26]

Several publications compared the track's lyrics with the poem "Something old".[27] Paper's Katherine Gillespie had a similar opinion, writing, "it's a slow, sugary sweet guitar ballad".[28] Writing for Seventeen, Tamara Fuentes said the lyrics in the bridge "feel like wedding vows, likely hinting at the fact that they are open to taking the next step in their relationship".[29] Mary Elizabeth Andriotis of Teen Vogue noted the lyric "All's well that ends well to end up with you" might be a reference to Swift's 2012 song "All Too Well".[30] Time's Raisa Bruner labelled it as a folk-influenced acoustic pop song, that turns "intimate and chipper", "topped off with a faux wedding vow as the bridge—Swift harkens back to the sweetness of [Swift's 2017 song] "New Year's Day", amped up with newfound bliss and confidence".[31] Louis Bruton of The Irish Times wrote that the song is a 1990s-inspired slow waltz country song.[32]

In 2020, Swift detailed the inspiration behind the song, stating that the song is about "two people choosing to spend their life together" and "making their own traditions", and that she designed the song's bridge to sound "like when people write their own vows and how they change the traditional part to fit their relationships".[33] She further explained:

I think that's a really beautiful thing when people choose to spend their life together. And so it's sort of a celebration of taking that very adult step of living with someone and deciding this is the path forward for you, walking alongside somebody else.

— Swift on the song's theme, Capital FM

Critical reception

"Lover" received acclaim from music critics for its songwriting and retro sensibility. Billboard's Jason Lipshutz called it the "song you should slow-dance to with your partner this weekend", and also said it "effectively transmits its romantic signals by putting the songwriting of Swift – a masterful writer who gets the solo credit here – front and center".[20] Louise Bruton of The Irish Times said the song "is the grand gesture that proves that all the heartache she's sung about" in the past "was worth it", and that it "has autumnal vibes stamped all over it".[19] Writing for Vox, Constance Grady called the song "a welcome reminder of what made Swift such an unstoppable force when she first emerged onto the music scene".[34] BuzzFeed News' Ellie Bate wrote that "Lover" is "a love letter to a person you want to be with forever", describing the bridge as "wedding vows".[35] Jay Willis of GQ predicted the song would be a popular choice for first dances at weddings.[36] The Boston Globe's Nora Princiotti called the song a "waltz with a stellar bridge" that "notably pairs themes of loving bliss with ownership".[37]

Craig Jenkins of Vulture wrote that "Lover" is reminiscent of Mazzy Star's "Fade into You" (1993) and Cowboy Junkies' 1988 cover of "Sweet Jane".[38] Vulture's Nate Jones ranked it in thirty-second place in his list "All 128 Taylor Swift Songs, Ranked From Worst to Best".[39] Writing for Forbes, Hugh McIntyre said the song has "a lovely nostalgic quality to it" and is "undeniably pretty, sweet, and a fair final play to get people excited for the album", but added that it is hard to imagine it becoming "a true smash" or "a long-lasting hit".[12] Teen Vogue's Mary Andriotis wrote that the song is "just as romantic as pretty much everyone expected", and a likely "wedding song for Swifties everywhere".[30] Alyssa Bailey of Elle interpreted "Lover" as one of Swift's "most personal" songs so far.[27] Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Alice Vincent gave the song four stars and said it is an "endearing return to country" for the singer.[18] In 2019, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone ranked "Lover" as Swift's fifth best song.[40]

Cosmopolitan named "Lover" as the third best song of 2019, while Pitchfork named it the eighty-seventh best.[41] Slate named the song as one of the top 10 best songs of 2019.[42] Billboard named "Lover" the twenty-first best song of 2019;[43] Insider named it one of the best songs of both 2019 and the 2010s.[44][45] Genius listed the song as one of the best 50 songs of 2019,[46] while Herald-Tribune named it the number-one best song of 2019.[47]

Music video

Swift and Drew Kirsch directed the music video for "Lover".[69] On August 15, 2019, Swift announced on her social media the music video would be premiered during a live Q&A session on YouTube the day before the album release on August 22, 2019.[70] The video's concept was inspired by the lyric "You two are dancing in a snow globe round and round" from the song "You Are in Love", the fifteenth track on the deluxe edition of 1989 (2014).[71] In the video, dancer Christian Owens, who worked as a background dancer on Swift's The 1989 World Tour (2015) and the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), appears as Swift's love interest.[72] Owens' role in the video was revealed during the Lover's Lounge YouTube livestream, which preceded the music video's release; Swift called him "one of the most talented people" she knows.[73] The video was filmed in a set in Hollywood, California.[74]

Synopsis

File:Taylor Swift - Lover (music video screenshot).png
The seven distinctly-colored rooms of the house inside a snow globe in the music video.

A child receives a snow globe as a gift on a Christmas day; the video focuses on the house inside the snow globe. Swift and Owens portray a couple who live in the house, which has seven distinctly-colored rooms, each representing one of Swift's seven studio albums and a period of her life since releasing her first album.[75][76] The couple fight and make up, and the snow globe is shown to be a Christmas gift to the child, who is the couple's daughter.[77] The video uses color-blocking following scenes showing the couple swimming in a fishbowl and dancing slowly.[78][79] Swift teased the some lyrics from another Lover track, "Cruel Summer", in the video; "Devils roll their dice, Angels roll their eyes",[80] which are written on a board-game box. Another track referenced is "Afterglow", the title of which is spelled out on a Scrabble board.[81]

Reception

The Fader's Salvatore Maicki wrote that the "lovey-dovey" video is exactly how he would imagine a Swift-led Lifetime movie to play out.[82] Writing for Teen Vogue, Mary Elizabeth Andriotis compared the video's scenery with the work of Wes Anderson. She commended the choice of Owens as Swift's love interest, writing that it is "a refreshing, long-needed change for Taylor's typical landscape of broody white boys".[77] Lauren Huff of Entertainment Weekly described the video as "so romantic", and said it "features a more muted color palette" than the video for "You Need to Calm Down".[83]

Other versions

On November 26, 2019, Swift released a second remix titled "Lover (First Dance Remix)", based an orchestral arrangement used in her performance of the song at the 2019 American Music Awards on November 24, featuring a ballet performance by Misty Copeland and Craig Hall.[88] The term "first dance" in the title refers to a newlywed couple's opening dance at a wedding ceremony.[89]

The remix was positively reviewed by music critics, who described it as "more romantic" and dance-leaning than the original version. Derrick Rossignol of Uproxx described the remix as "a fresh and stirring take" on the original and called it "the perfect wedding song that was literally made for an emotional first dance".[90] Writing for iHeartRadio, Regina Star opined that the remix is "an even more romantic version" and "a captivating and charming rendition made perfect for prom".[91] Describing the remix as "more stripped-down", Emily Belfiore of E! News complimented the remix for its orchestral arrangement and named it as "her [Swift's] most gorgeous yet".[92] CapitalFM referred to the remix as an "orchestral update for an extra dose of romantic feels".[89]

A live version of the song, titled "Lover (Live From Paris)", recorded at Swift's one-off City of Lover concert in Paris in 2019 was released on digital music platforms after the premiere of the concert film on television on May 17, 2020.[93]

On March 4, 2020, Irish singer Niall Horan and American singer Fletcher released a cover version of the song, titled "Lover - Recorded at Air Studios, London", exclusively on Spotify for the platform's Spotify Singles series. The cover has been described as a "raucous" rock, pop rock and arena rock power ballad duet, with electric guitars, keyboard chords and big drums, as opposed to the original's folk sound, booming snare and "strummy" structure.[94][95] Horan expressed admiration for Swift's original version of "Lover" when it was released, initially describing it a "classic" and naming it as his favorite track on Swift's album of the same name. On his decision to cover the song, he said: "'Lover' is one of my favorite songs I've heard in a long time and Taylor is a good friend. Let's hope she likes it."[96]

On November 13, 2019, Swift announced the surprise release of a remixed version of the song, featuring reworked instrumentals, lyrics and guest vocals from Canadian singer Shawn Mendes.[170] Mendes contributed verses written by himself.[171] Zubin Thakkar, Mendes' guitarist and engineer, stated on Instagram that Mendes recorded his vocals just one week before the remix's release while touring in Brisbane, Australia and New Zealand for Shawn Mendes: The Tour.[172]

The Shawn Mendes remix was met with positive reviews. Brittany Vincent of MTV called the remix "a beautiful anthem that expands upon the original, with Shawn giving it his own flavor, complete with rewritten lyrics and plenty of falsetto. It was already a warm and cozy love song, but it's been beefed up considerably into something transcendentally romantic."[173] Jael Goldfine of Paper wrote that Mendes "brings the song's sugar factor up to about a million" and that the song manages to be both "enjoyable and cloying".[174] Hannah Yasharoff of USA Today praised the duo's remix, stating that they "breathed new life into Swift's romantic seventh album title track, transforming her ballad into a duet with fresh verses and harmonies that'll have fans falling in love all over again".[175] The version was nominated for Best Remix at the 2020 iHeartRadio Music Awards.[99]
