"Lover" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her seventh studio album of the same name (2019). Swift wrote the song and co-produced it with Jack Antonoff. Republic Records in partnership with Taylor Swift Productions released it as the third single from the album on August 16, 2019. Musically, "Lover" is a country ballad that features a booming snare, slow tempo and guitar-centric sound. Over a retro-styled musical motif, Swift sings lyrics about devotion on the song; which several publications interpreted to be about her partner.

"Lover" received acclaim from critics, who praised its nostalgic quality and Swift's songwriting. In the US, the song peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the album's third consecutive Hot 100 top-10 single. It also entered the top 10 on charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore.

Swift and Drew Kirsch directed the "Lover" music video featuring dancer Christian Owens as her love interest. Premiering on August 22, 2019, the video features bright colors and a dollhouse setup, showing the couple fighting and making up. Swift performed the song at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.

Background

Jack Antonoff co-produced "Lover".

Describing her seventh studio album Lover as a "love letter to love",[1] Taylor Swift attempted to convey an emotional spectrum and vulnerability for it by looking at feelings like sadness and loneliness "through a romantic gaze".[2] The recording process for the album took under three months, and concluded in February 2019.[3] Jack Antonoff was revealed as one of the producers for the album with the release of "The Archer" in July. He had also previously collaborated with Swift on "Sweeter than Fiction" (2013), 1989 (2014), "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" (2016) and Reputation (2017).[4] He co-produced 11 of the 18 tracks for the album, co-writing 8.[5]

Swift wrote "Lover" a night before meeting Antonoff and recording engineer Laura Sisk at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. She played a version of the song she had composed on the piano for them; Swift and Antonoff produced the final version of the song over a six-hour session, making use of reverb, piano and a Mellotron.[6] Sisk and John Rooney recorded the song, while Serban Ghenea mixed it with additional engineering from John Hanes.[7]

The song 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.[8] "Lover" was released as the third single from the album on August 16.[9][10][11] A lyric video was also uploaded to YouTube, showing home videos of Swift projected onto a white sheet with the song's lyrics overlaid on top.[12]

Composition

"Lover" runs for three minutes and forty-one seconds,[13][14] 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.[15] Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph and Louise Bruton of The Irish Times characterized "Lover" as a country song,[16][17] while Billboard's Jason Lipshutz disagreed with this assessment, stating "'Lover' is not a country song, but it certainly nods to the bare songwriting that marked much of Swift's early career".[18] Nate Jones of Vulture described the track as alternative country,[19] while The A.V. Club's Annie Zaleski called it an indie folk and country torch song.[20]

Rolling Stone described the song as "tender lyrics about devotion over a retro-styled musical motif".[21] Billboard described it as "an old-school ballad with a booming snare, keys and a '60s vibe."[22] NME's Karen Gwee considered the "guitar-centric" song a throwback to Swift's "country days".[23] 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", adding that the lyrics "make it seem like the song is an ode to someone".[24]

Several publications interpreted "Lover" as being about Swift's partner Joe Alwyn, with some drawing comparisons between the track's lyrics and the rhyme "Something old". Alyssa Bailey of Elle suggested that the opening lyrics might be about the two having lived together.[25] Paper's Katherine Gillespie had a similar opinion, writing that "it's a slow, sugary sweet guitar ballad presumably written for her longtime beau Joe Alwyn."[26] Writing for Seventeen, Tamara Fuentes opined that 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".[27] Mary Elizabeth Andriotis of Teen Vogue noted the lyric "All's well that ends well to end up with you" as a potential reference to "All Too Well" (2012).[28]

Critical reception

"Lover" received universal acclaim from music critics. Billboard's Jason Lipshutz called it the "song you should slow-dance to with your partner this weekend", and further stated that it "effectively transmits its romantic signals by putting the songwriting of Swift – a masterful writer who gets the solo credit here – front and center".[18] Louise Bruton of The Irish Times opined that 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".[17] 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".[29] BuzzFeed News' Ellie Bate wrote that the song is "a love letter to a person you want to be with forever", describing the bridge as "wedding vows".[30]

Craig Jenkins of Vulture opined that it is reminiscent of Mazzy Star's "Fade into You" (1993) and Cowboy Junkies' 1988 cover of "Sweet Jane".[31] Vulture's Nate Jones ranked it thirty-second place in his list "All 128 Taylor Swift Songs, Ranked From Worst to Best".[19] Writing for Forbes, Hugh McIntyre said that 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".[10] Teen Vogue's Mary Elizabeth Andriotis wrote that the song is "just as romantic as pretty much everyone expected", and a likely "wedding song for Swifties everywhere".[28] Alyssa Bailey of Elle interpreted it as one of Swift's "most personal" songs so far, adding that it conveys her commitment to Alwyn.[25] Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Alice Vincent gave the song four stars, and said that it was an "endearing return to country" for the singer.[16]

Commercial performance

"Lover" debuted at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart of August 31, 2019, tying Swift with Madonna as the female artist with most top 20 hits (44).[32] Following the release of its music video and parent album Lover, the song peaked at number 10 on the September 7, 2019, chart.[33] In Canada, it peaked at number seven on the Canadian Hot 100.[34] In Europe, "Lover" charted at number 61 in Germany,[35] 9 in Ireland,[36] 12 in Scotland, 37 in Sweden and 52 in Switzerland.[37][38][39] The song reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. It was commercially successful in Oceania, peaking at number three in both Australia and New Zealand.[40][41]

Music video

Swift and Drew Kirsch directed the music video for "Lover".[42] On August 15, 2019, Swift announced on her social media that the music video will premiere during a live Q&A session on YouTube the day before the album release, on August 22, 2019.[43] Its concept was inspired by the lyric "You two are dancing in a snow globe round and round", which appears on the song "You Are in Love" from 1989.[44] In the video, dancer Christian Owens plays Swift's love interest. He had previously embarked as a background dancer on Swift's The 1989 World Tour (2015) and the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018).[45] Owens' role in the video was revealed during the Lover's Lounge YouTube livestream, which preceded the music video's release; where Swift called him "one of the most talented people" she knows.[46] The video was filmed on a set in Hollywood.[47]

Synopsis

A child receives a snowglobe as a gift, and the video focus on the house in the snow globe. Swift and Owens portray a couple who live in the house with seven distinctly-colored rooms, each representing one of her seven studio albums and era of her life since releasing her first album.[48][49] They fight and make up, and the snow globe is revealed to be a Christmas gift to the child, who is shown the be the couple's daughter.[50] The visuals make use of color-blocking, with following scenes showing the couple swimming in a fishbowl and slow dancing.[51][52] Swift teased the following lyrics from another Lover track, "Cruel Summer", in the video: "Devils roll their dice, Angels roll their eyes".[53] which are written on a board-game box. Another track referenced is "Afterglow" which is spelt out on a Scrabble board.[54]

Reception

The Fader's Salvatore Maicki wrote that the "love-dovey" video is exactly how he would imagine a Swift-led Lifetime movie to play out.[55] Writing for Teen Vogue, Mary Elizabeth Andriotis compared its scenery to 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".[50] Lauren Huff of Entertainment Weekly described the video as "so romantic", and added that it "features a more muted color palette" than the video for "You Need to Calm Down".[56]

Live performances

Swift first performed "Lover" as part of a medley with "You Need to Calm Down" at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, on August 26, 2019; she played a pink guitar, surrounded by blue lights and a hovering moon.[57] A performance of the song at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge premiered on September 2, 2019.[58] On September 9, Swift performed the song at the City of Lover one-off concert in Paris, France.[59]
