Taylor Swift Announces her Fifth Single from “1989”
Taylor Swift has announced the fifth single from her latest album, "1989."
The singer, who already has four hit singles, "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," "Style" and "Bad Blood (feat. Kendrick Lamar)" from the album, tweeted to her 61.6 million followers: "Just wanted to let you know that the next single from 1989 will be.......Wildest Dreams."
Swift wrote "Wildest Dreams," which uses a recording of the singer's heartbeat, with producers Max Martin and Shellback. Swift spoke to NPR last year about the song and how it is based on complex relationships.
"In the past, I've written mostly about heartbreak or pain that was caused by someone else and felt by me. On this album, I'm writing about more complex relationships, where the blame is kind of split 50-50. I'm writing about looking back on a relationship and feeling a sense of pride even though it didn't work out, reminiscing on something that ended but you still feel good about it, falling in love with a city, falling in love with a feeling rather than a person," the 25-year-old explained.
She added, "And I think there's actually sort of a realism to my new approach to relationships, which is a little more fatalistic than anything I used to think about them. I used to think that, you know, you find The One. It's happily ever after, and it's never a struggle after that. You have a few experiences with love and relationships, and you learn that that's not the case at all. Lots of things are gray areas and complicated situations, and even if you find the right situation relationship-wise, it's always going to be a daily struggle to make it work."
If "Wildest Dreams" can hit No.1 on the Billboard charts, Swift would be on step closer to matching Michael Jackson and Katy Perry's record of five No. 1 hit singles from one album. Swift currently has three No.1 hits with "Shake It Off," "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood" remix. "Style" peaked at No. 6.
Swift has already set several records since the release of "1989" last October.
