The track showcases a blend of indie folk and alternative rock, deviating from her signature pop sound, which surprised many fans. Some trivia about the song includes its rumored connections to Taylor's past relationships and speculations about its subject matter. The melody features a laid-back yet haunting vibe, with Taylor's evocative vocals beautifully capturing the reflective tone of the lyrics.
