Following on from a show stopping performance on The X Factor and being named Billboard Magazine’s Woman of the Year, global superstar and seven-time GRAMMY Award winner Taylor Swift will exclusively unlock ‘Out Of The Woods’ on iTunes on October 14th, giving her fans a new track and a peek at what is to come from her highly anticipated album, 1989 (Big Machine Records/ Virgin EMI).
‘Out Of The Woods’ is written by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff (Bleachers, Fun) and produced by Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift with vocal production by Max Martin for MXM Productions. This is the second song revealed from 1989, Taylor’s forthcoming fifth studio album, while the current single, ‘Shake It Off’, is a global smash hit having peaked at #1 on iTunes in 64 countries.
“‘Out Of The Woods’ is one of my favorite songs on 1989,” said Taylor. “A goal of mine on this album was to set a sonic landscape and have the music sound exactly the way the emotions felt.” Taylor continued, “This song is about the fragility of some relationships. Musically, I wanted to convey that kind of frantic feeling of wondering. This song stresses that even if the relationship is breakable and fragile, it doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile and beautiful and all the things we look for.”
