.taylorswift13 let us into the “mundane” details that make a masterpiece in a new behind-the-scenes video diary for Lover
. The song quickly became a favorite among Swifties, but to this day, the fandom continues to sound off on Twitter about one particular lyric that suggests we should all be taking our Christmas lights down before January 1. Now, Swift is offering up a long-overdue explanation.
"I had toyed with the idea of being like, 'We could have the Christmas lights up 'til April,'" Swift toldfor its"Diary of a Song" series. But she stuck with January for good reason — to show that even the dullest parts of a relationship are special when you're fully in love with the right person."It's not about that being a crazy thing," she explained."It's about how mundane it is.
The truth is, Swift always wanted to make a song that people"who are in love would want to dance to," and"Lover" certainly fits the bill. Once she came up with the chorus, she knew she was on the right track."I wanted the chorus to be these really simple existential questions that we ask ourselves when we're in love," she told the paper."'Can I go where you go?' is such a heavy thing to ask somebody.
As made clear, Swift's songwriting skills are both mystifying and rare. And once"Lover" was written, she knew it was something special."Even if anybody has been like, 'I don't think this one's great,' I would've been like, 'Well, I reject your feedback because I love this one.'" And thank goodness for that.
