Taylor Swift Drops "Toy Story 5" Song, "I Knew It, I Knew You"

Finally, Swifties — Taylor Swift is back to her country music roots with her “Toy Story 5” song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which debuted on digital services midnight Friday.

Swift posted a message on social media, as the tune was coming out, that included a vintage home video of herself as a little girl, marching in a red cowgirl hat and a shirt embroidered with boots. 

She wrote: “Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond," she wrote.

Swift added, “Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @randynewmanofficial for the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it. By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴 . https://taylor.lnk.to/TSIKnewItIKnew You…".

Along with the digital single, Swift has been selling both CD and vinyl versions of the track on her website this week, although all of those physical editions sold out well before their 48-hour windows were up.

The theme will be featured on the franchise’s fifth movie soundtrack, which drops June 19, the same day the entry hits theaters.

Starring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen — who will reprise their iconic voice roles as Woody and Buzz Lightyear, respectively — as well as Joan Cusack returning to voice Jessie, "Toy Story 5" will show how Andy’s old toys come to grips with a new electronic tablet taking over the attention of their current owner, Bonnie.

Swift revealed just five days prior to the track’s release that she was involved in "Toy Story 5," only after mysterious “TS” billboards using the movie franchise’s signature font appeared in different locations around the world. 

The 14-time Grammy winner’s website also changed to show a Toy Story-themed countdown leading up to the announcement on Monday.

"Toy Story 5" director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton said in a statement, “It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song.”

“Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable,” he added. “The song is so deeply connected to Toy Story. So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member.”
