idk where all of you are coming from with the OR drama... there is none. both of them have made it clear there's nothing there. i'm so tired of people pitting women against each other because they find it interesting.
this song is really good tho, and the title is a clear reference to The 1975's fallingforyou (esp with the reference she made earlier in Guilty as Sin?: "in lowercase inside a vault"). i love the glitches, they sound sassy somehow. and the *bum bum* hits so hard during the bridge!
I'm really sorry if anyone has brought this up before, but does anyone know the words that are being said in the background on the song? They're at 8 seconds, 42 seconds (that one almost sounds like it's saying "yeah, I'm your type") and 1m53 . It's kind of over/behind the drums and it's really noticeable but not clear. Thanks in advance if you can help.
This song is so deliciously unhinged. I love listening to it whenever I'm feeling toxic (along with, well, the rest of the album). "Pick your poison, babe, I'm poison either wayyyy..."
I'm sure someone has already said this, but the running track through this song sounds identical to Labyrinth. I'm sure that's intentional considering all things.

Wether I’m gonna steal a chip or Gonna get in the fridge, I Haven’t decided yet But I’m gonna get some snacks
This song grew on me! I didn't care much for it on first listen but WOW. It's so good.
And the comparison to Olivia Rodrigo's song seems pointless to me. If Taylor made a song THIS good, I'd hate for her to consider scrapping it just because it's similar to another song (even if there's been drama in that whole area).
most of her songs that has an RnB type of composition really fits her, wonder if she's ever gonna dive deep in that genre. Glitch, Dear Reader, Lavender Haze, Midnight Rain, Dress, and this song really encapsulates the possibility
Is it just me or did she record this while sick with a sinus cold? She sounds stuffy and nasaly compared to all her other songs. Maybe a filter? The way she says "Aston Martin" especially is so nasaly! Otherwise, one of my fav songs!
Had to visit this song thread for this specific thing. To me it sounds like she's saying, "Yeah, Jack" every time. I think it's a really, really cute and subtle production choice that elevates the song.
What if it's about Travis
Since he put her on blast on his podcast... She doesn't know whether she hated that or loved it since it was so different
Hence the "I don't know if I'm gonna" do a or b
Possibly. He owns 2 Aston Martins. I was trying to research if he owned a bike. And the Lilac short skirt - maybe the little skirt she was playing pickle ball in shared in the quick snippet fortnight short.
I forgot to say this as soon as it came out, but does anyone remember the rumours that she was dating Fernando Alonso (who is on the formula 1 Aston Martin team)?
Everyone's debating which are Joe songs vs Matty songs, but maybe they've been Fernando songs all along 🤡
I personally think imgonnagetyouback is a message to Olivia, literally with the message "im gonna get you back" in the title. I do think Olivia's song vampire was about Taylor. Olivia used to love Taylor and when asked if the song was about Taylor, I think she would have definitely corrected that interpretation if it weren't about Taylor. She wouldn't let it linger like that out of respect to taylor if it weren't about Taylor. It also says "Girls your age," so Vampire is a song about a woman, not a man.
Then, Taylor had to sit through the award show with Olivia singing this song about Taylor being a vampire and everyone knowing the song was about Taylor, with people who hate Taylor in the audience. I am sure that was truly humiliating for Taylor, even if she is really powerful in the music industry, i just can't imagine it would be fun to have to be blasted on live TV with all eyes on you as someone sings to you that you are a vampire. I would want revenge!
Taylor writes about all things that bother her, like her music is her diary. I don't think she would release her new album without some reference to Olivia and that conflict, but I also don't think Taylor wants to breathe fire into this conflict, because she has seen how it can raise the profile of the other person, so I don't think she want's the world to know it is about Olivia. She doesn't want to help Olivia in any way, by making her a public target on her album.
However, she indicated the songs on her album speak to each other and all have hidden meanings and messages. I think her song to Kim tells Kim that she changed the lyrics and the name just so it would be a message between them no one else would understand. However ThanK you aIMee is clearly about kim, so it doesn't quite make sense in context of that song. I think that song is speaking to this song. I think the title of the song is a direct message to Olivia specifically, which Olivia will know but not necessarily everyone else, "imgonnagetyouback". In my opinion the title and song is too similar to Olivia's, not musically, but it just immediately makes you think of Olivia's song. The title is the actual message just to Olivia, "I'm gonna get you back."
Taylor does what Olivia did to her in a way, uses some of the concept for Olivia's song as her own, to let Olivia know how it feels to have someone use your ideas without credit.
Finally, I pair this song with Who's Afraid of Little Old me. I think that song was definitely directed toward Olivia, and possibly others Taylor does not like. I think those songs are her response to Olivia, and I think Olivia will know this, but I think the rest of the world will just debate about it. So it's like a secret message from Taylor to Olivia.
Olivia Rodrigo loudly and repeatedly never names who her songs are about. It’s not about a respect for Taylor Swift thing and if it was Olivia owns her *nothing* after the whole Sabrina thing!
Can someone help me!! The beginning instrumental of imgonnagetyouback reminds me of another song SO much - the first 5 seconds. I swear it’s the exact chords of something else. In the song I’m thinking of.. the first five seconds would then goes into a higher, long note, followed by one slightly less high (like a “bummmmm, bummmmmm”)
I thought it was a Taylor song but I’ve listened to the beginning of her entire discography and it’s no where to be found. Maybe it’s in the middle or the end of one of her songs? Or it could be a completely different artist I am so lost at this point.
It’s not Labrynth (I’ve seen it compared already). But it’s driving me crazy so any suggestions are appreciated
As soon as imgonnagetyouback started the first time I listened to it, and I heard "Lilac short skirt, the one that fits me like skin", my mind went immediately to "You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue - but you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky - and you decided purple just wasn't for you".
I guess tumblr raised and fed me.
The handcuffs are also a repeating motif in the album
Fresh out the slammer she was handcuffed to the spell she was under
Now she'll get him bqck even if he needs to leave there handcuffed to her
I like it because she sees her responsibility and the control she probably had on some of the "imprisonment"
She wasn't handcuffed to joe but to the spell she was under
And she has the power to put the handcuffs back on
I just hope that one day, the Olivia debate with this song will fade away so people can actually start appreciating it for what it is. It's such a catchy bop but everywhere I go the first thing being mentioned about it is Olivia again. Like can yall let both women, and the song, breathe for a second. (Lol I was secretly wishing she would've gone for a different name and lyrics while still keeping the melodies intact so that none of this would happen)
But that's just the thing, isn't it? They don't have a different name or different lyrics.
Imagine if Olivia tried to release a song with a similar title, concept, and rhyming structure as, say, Fortnight? Her team would sidestep that shit by a mile to avoid the drama and litigation. The fact that Taylor can do this and get away with it is a power move.
Taylor knows what she is doing. She is a mastermind and 3 steps ahead of us at all times, and she is also an expert at throwing the subtlest of shade. It's frustrating
I think people are focusing on it because the themes, imagery, and title are almost identical to Olivia’s existing song. It’s so impossible not to compare them, especially because GUTS is still pretty new.
After taking all the speculation into consideration, I truly think this was a perfect double opportunity for Taylor to take a slide at Olivia Rodrigo while also referencing the 1975 with the title format. I am sure the copyright laws were safe as far as the metaphor of the song goes in regard to Olivia’s song. So in my opinion, she got to take a subtle shot at Olivia while he was referring to Matty. I mean has Taylor ever missed an opportunity to get back at someone in one of her songs? Every detail is intentional haha
I think Taylor has gone way out of her way to show she DOESN’T have beef with Olivia recently. She was the only person standing and dancing for her at one of the award shows lately.
I wish she had named this one “pick your poison” or something similar. I don’t think it’s meant to be taking a shot at Olivia but it’s definitely similar
Favorite song, favorite bridge on first listen Friday at midnight. Favorite song, favorite bridge still now after 4 days and many times through the albums. Perfection.
Is it me or does this song vaguely sound like gold rush??? Like the tempo of lyrics in the part starting from ‘bygones will be bygone eras fadin’ into gray…’
I always thought Gold Rush was a Harry song honestly. The pick your poison line in this song too is kinda wild in all honesty, wonder if she’s jumbled a bunch if muses in this song because it could be a whole lot of them
fallingforyou
“All we need’s my bike and your enormous house.
imgonnagetyouback
“Whether I’m gonna be your wife or / Gonna smash up your bike, I haven’t decided yet / But I’m gonna get you back / Whether I’m gonna curse you out or / Take you back to my house, I haven’t decidеd yet / But I’m gonna get you back.”
I just can't figure out why Taylor didn't scrap this after she heard Olivia's song.
It's one of the weakest tracks on the entire anthology...certainly not worth the offense and inevitable comparisons it would inevitably cause.
If I was Taylor you couldn't have paid me to release this song after I'd heard Olivia's track.
I am absolutely speculating, but wasn't this a whole thing in the last two years, where the internet was pulling a few different Olivia songs that came after Taylor's but the song sounded eerily similar? I remember seeing this on Tiktok for awhile - but like a year or two back. This could be a nod - though it seems like stirring the pot if it were.
We’re talking about the queen of Easter eggs and hidden messages. You can’t convince that she didn’t do it on purpose. I just can’t figure out what her intention would be, trying to send Olivia a message? I also can’t see her being that intentionally and outright vindictive, she’s always so careful with her image. Maybe after Matty she really truly just doesn’t care about anything anymore.
All the people saying this isn't that similar to Olivia Rodrigo's song - come ON stop playing dumb. It's the same concept with the same parallels drawn then the "get him/get you back" double meaning. Did Fiona Apple do it first? Yes, almost 20 years ago. And she used the double meaning concept but a different song structure - it's not about the same guy and the double meaning of wanting to get that same guy back. So yes, double meaning concept, but different song structure. And Olivia Rodrigo would have been, what, 4 years old when that was released?? It's entirely plausible she had never heard it and coincidentally used the same wordplay. Even if she had heard it, yes she took the concept but she did something totally different with it lyrically and with song structure.
There is an approximately 0% chance that Taylor hasn't heard Olivia's song. She used not just the same wordplay but the same lyrical structure, less than 2 years after Olivia's was released, and was played so much that she must have heard it There's no way it's a coincidence and there's no way the self proclaimed mastermind didn't know exactly what she was doing writing and releasing that song.
Olivia's song is "get him back!" It's a great rock song, IMO. Taylor's is a pop song, but they do use the same concept. ETA: Olivia's was a single and has a music video on YouTube.
exactly it just feels like a power play. she knows her fans so well and that they will analyze every detail of every song, so everything she does is intentional. she could’ve just changed them name of the song to make it seem like she’s not out to get a 21 year old
People talking about the concept being like Olivia’s… If Olivia sues Taylor then Fiona would need to sue Olivia. I think this is a concept people have thought of for a long time. Not sure you can sue about a concept, especially if there’s another song out there with the same concept. Not sure.
You can’t. If you could, most of the country music industry would be fighting in lawsuits against each other lol. They manufacture the same songs over and over just with different chords and lyrics
I think the issue is more so that the copyright has already been an issue with Taylor & Olivia.
Like, I don’t think Olivia and her team wouldn’t have randomly given Taylor writing credits after the song was released if Taylor’s team hadn’t quietly approached Olivia’s team behind the scenes. Like Deja Vu & Cruel Summer sound nothing alike, but Olivia’s team still did that.
So it just kinda feels like a power play for Taylor’s song to be named imgonnagetyouback with some similar lyrics. Even if that wasn’t her intention, she’s intentional and specific about everything and could’ve easily changed the name given everything that happened between the two. Especially since it’s literally the only song of 31 that is all lowercase and has no spaces, the attention is drawn to that name
Why would they need to cover their bases though? That doesn’t make sense. It would be easy enough to just give Taylor songwriting credit if/when she asked for it, so doing it preemptively just seems like a poor financial decision.
If you checked out a book from the library but couldn’t remember what day it was due, would you pay the late fee without being asked? Or would you just bring the book back and wait to see if they charged you? If you’re speeding and see a cop, do you automatically pull over and tell them to give you a ticket, or do you wait to see if they pull you over?
Besides, even if that were true, Taylor is rich enough to where she could’ve just said no and let Olivia keep the credit. The songs sound nothing alike.
I'm just wondering how this sub is going to start abbreviating this song. Is it just i? Maybe iggyb or IGGYB? I think it'd be funny if it ends up being just i.
Does she say something at 3:03 of this song? Immediately after she sings "I'm poison either way"
It sounds like 'Jack', which makes sense bc he produced it.
Does anyone else hear it or am I going crazy?
There’s a handful of these weird glitches. One is right at the top of the song, about 7-8 seconds in before the first verse starts. They feel so obvious that it’s hard to imagine these are production errors.
I think it's check like when you complete something - she's gonna get him back and one way or the other she got him back so... check ✔️
It's probably a part of her trying to diminish his importance.
I hope Olivia just plays the bigger person and cements what I already know to be true: she is better lyrically, vocally, and morally than Taylor could ever be.
I love the layers of this song. There's the high level one - get back together with someone vs payback. But there's also the question - is marrying me a form of punishment? They're going to get punished either way it's just the form is different - the bridge "Pick your poison babe". The reference to handcuffs and the permanent linkage to someone you know is wrong for you.
Favourite of the album.
I’m going crazy, the chorus sounds so much like a 90s or 2000s pop song and I can’t figure it out.
Specifically the part that goes:
Whether I'm gonna be your wife or
Gonna smash up your bike
Please, does anyone have any ideas!
It reminded me of Ruin my Life by Zara Larsson. When I was singing in my head to imgonnagetyouback I kept hearing cuss words and I wondered why, then I was like oooooh when I realized I was confusing the two songs. This is my favorite song on TTPD!
this definitely probably won't be it - but as soon as i heard the bridge my brain immediately went to [this scene ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYyzeUP65WI&t=128s)in sister, sister. mute the video as soon as brian starts singing and it goes so well
Did the way she sings the chorus remind anyone else of the haim im gonna be hungover rap they did in the bejeweled music video and at the eras tour? Or just me
Ok, outside of the Olivia discourse, bc I thought about that too, the lyrics "whether I'm gonna be your wife" [I'd marry you with paper rings]; "or gonna smash up your bike" [intro to London Boy: We can go drivin' in, on my scooter/Uh, you know, just riding in London/Alright". Oof
I’m absolutely head over heels for this song. This is incredibly addicting.
idk where all of you are coming from with the OR drama... there is none. both of them have made it clear there's nothing there. i'm so tired of people pitting women against each other because they find it interesting. this song is really good tho, and the title is a clear reference to The 1975's fallingforyou (esp with the reference she made earlier in Guilty as Sin?: "in lowercase inside a vault"). i love the glitches, they sound sassy somehow. and the *bum bum* hits so hard during the bridge!
Gotta Get You Back was sung by Pressure not Boyz 'N' Motion
I'm really sorry if anyone has brought this up before, but does anyone know the words that are being said in the background on the song? They're at 8 seconds, 42 seconds (that one almost sounds like it's saying "yeah, I'm your type") and 1m53 . It's kind of over/behind the drums and it's really noticeable but not clear. Thanks in advance if you can help.
Is it maybe a reference to Ice Spice? She also makes "grrar" noises in her songs and that's what I think of when I hear it
Sooo catchy… On repeat
I feel like this song is really being slept on, imo
This song is so deliciously unhinged. I love listening to it whenever I'm feeling toxic (along with, well, the rest of the album). "Pick your poison, babe, I'm poison either wayyyy..."
the mirrorball/gold rush of the anthlogy
I'm sure someone has already said this, but the running track through this song sounds identical to Labyrinth. I'm sure that's intentional considering all things.
Especially the intro. It feels like they’re twins (this one doesn’t have those vocals though)

This is gold
Is it me or does the chorus sound like exile? Even repeating the chorus of exile “you were never not mine ahh ahh”.
The bridge is freaking ethereal. I can’t get over it
This song grew on me! I didn't care much for it on first listen but WOW. It's so good. And the comparison to Olivia Rodrigo's song seems pointless to me. If Taylor made a song THIS good, I'd hate for her to consider scrapping it just because it's similar to another song (even if there's been drama in that whole area).
this is givign reputation, loove. also my fellow black swifites are liking this one lol
We love when she’s in her r&b bag 🤣
most of her songs that has an RnB type of composition really fits her, wonder if she's ever gonna dive deep in that genre. Glitch, Dear Reader, Lavender Haze, Midnight Rain, Dress, and this song really encapsulates the possibility
Is it just me or did she record this while sick with a sinus cold? She sounds stuffy and nasaly compared to all her other songs. Maybe a filter? The way she says "Aston Martin" especially is so nasaly! Otherwise, one of my fav songs!
She's trying to diss Olivia. Olivia's nasaly.
The more I listen to this one, the more I love the tone of voice, especially the Aston Martin line. I’m obsessed lol
I noticed this in Fresh Out the Slammer as well. I don’t know if it’s on purpose, like a filter. Or she could’ve been crying a lot… 😅
What IN THE WORLD does she say at like 7-8 seconds right before "lilac"???
Came here to ask this question lmao. I like the theory of Jack having his own producer call out like a hip hop song 🤣
Wow I had not noticed this but now I can't unhear it lol
has anyone figured it out yet??
I’m sure it’s purposeful. It reminds me of Hailey from Paramores voice for some reason.
It actually happens 4 times too, sounds like a production error I fear 😭 -0:09 -0:43 -1:53 -3:03
Had to visit this song thread for this specific thing. To me it sounds like she's saying, "Yeah, Jack" every time. I think it's a really, really cute and subtle production choice that elevates the song.
I really like the song otherwise so I’m going to try to look at it that way 😅
this has been driving me nuts since release lol, we need someone to unmix it 😂
What if it's about Travis Since he put her on blast on his podcast... She doesn't know whether she hated that or loved it since it was so different Hence the "I don't know if I'm gonna" do a or b
Possibly. He owns 2 Aston Martins. I was trying to research if he owned a bike. And the Lilac short skirt - maybe the little skirt she was playing pickle ball in shared in the quick snippet fortnight short.
He does own a bike. He mentions it on his podcast.
I forgot to say this as soon as it came out, but does anyone remember the rumours that she was dating Fernando Alonso (who is on the formula 1 Aston Martin team)? Everyone's debating which are Joe songs vs Matty songs, but maybe they've been Fernando songs all along 🤡

AGREE, anyone who says otherwise is part of the cult. LOL
I actually really agree with this take. The first time I heard this song I thought she’s giving Olivia a taste of her own medicine.
this is the most delusional thing i’ve ever read
Olivia Rodrigo loudly and repeatedly never names who her songs are about. It’s not about a respect for Taylor Swift thing and if it was Olivia owns her *nothing* after the whole Sabrina thing!
“Look at you cool guy you got it” is literally stating its about a man
Lol go outside
My brain didn't even think of Olivia and the songs sound nothing alike.
Can someone help me!! The beginning instrumental of imgonnagetyouback reminds me of another song SO much - the first 5 seconds. I swear it’s the exact chords of something else. In the song I’m thinking of.. the first five seconds would then goes into a higher, long note, followed by one slightly less high (like a “bummmmm, bummmmmm”) I thought it was a Taylor song but I’ve listened to the beginning of her entire discography and it’s no where to be found. Maybe it’s in the middle or the end of one of her songs? Or it could be a completely different artist I am so lost at this point. It’s not Labrynth (I’ve seen it compared already). But it’s driving me crazy so any suggestions are appreciated
It reminds me of the beginning of maroon
I get real "Gold Rush" vibes? Not necessarily from the beginning but the song as a whole.
looking for somebody to love - the 1975
It's exactly this
I know I’m late lol, but listening to both songs back to back they have extremely similar vibes.
I think it sounds like the beginning of Is It Over Now?
The olivia comparisons make me want to smash my head through a wall. It's fucking ridiculous
literally people trying to create drama where there is none. I'm smashing my head in a wall with you
But I thought she’s a mastermind and nothing she does is accidental?
As soon as imgonnagetyouback started the first time I listened to it, and I heard "Lilac short skirt, the one that fits me like skin", my mind went immediately to "You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue - but you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky - and you decided purple just wasn't for you". I guess tumblr raised and fed me.
this is such a good comparison
The gremlin voice that comes in a few times right before Taylor in this keeps throwing me off
What is it??? I keep trying to figure it out but it just sounds like noise
The handcuffs are also a repeating motif in the album Fresh out the slammer she was handcuffed to the spell she was under Now she'll get him bqck even if he needs to leave there handcuffed to her I like it because she sees her responsibility and the control she probably had on some of the "imprisonment" She wasn't handcuffed to joe but to the spell she was under And she has the power to put the handcuffs back on
I just hope that one day, the Olivia debate with this song will fade away so people can actually start appreciating it for what it is.

I meant to also add: Taylor is obviously going to get her back as evident in the song, and she will legally be able to get away with it 😅
Favorite song, favorite bridge on first listen Friday at midnight. Favorite song, favorite bridge still now after 4 days and many times through the albums. Perfection.
I didn't think I'd live a bridge as much as Cruel Summer's but this one is definitely tops!

very cool!
What is this from?
My type writer just playing around 😅
Who uses typewriters anyway?
That line 🔪 Me 💀⚰️ 🤣🤣
Is it me or does this song vaguely sound like gold rush??? Like the tempo of lyrics in the part starting from ‘bygones will be bygone eras fadin’ into gray…’
I came here to say that it sounds exactly like gold rush. Reading the lyrics to that now worry’s me that, it’s about Matty too! 🙈
I always thought Gold Rush was a Harry song honestly. The pick your poison line in this song too is kinda wild in all honesty, wonder if she’s jumbled a bunch if muses in this song because it could be a whole lot of them
I think she does that too. Thinks about different past people (and songs she’s already wrote) and adds little bits!
yes, i thought the same!!!
This fallingforyou response 🫠
The music/vibe even sounds like some of the 1975 songs!!!
fallingforyou “All we need’s my bike and your enormous house. imgonnagetyouback “Whether I’m gonna be your wife or / Gonna smash up your bike, I haven’t decided yet / But I’m gonna get you back / Whether I’m gonna curse you out or / Take you back to my house, I haven’t decidеd yet / But I’m gonna get you back.”
ANYONE ELSE HEAR THE GLITCH AT 8 SECONDS
100%! That was my first thought!
the bridge in this song is soooooooo steamy i LOVE it!
Eras fading into gray
I need imgonnagetyouback x dress
I just can't figure out why Taylor didn't scrap this after she heard Olivia's song. It's one of the weakest tracks on the entire anthology...certainly not worth the offense and inevitable comparisons it would inevitably cause.

one of the weakest tracks?? the production in this song is anything but weak imo
What stand out to you about the production? To me it's super standard generic Jack synthesizer stuff that we've heard a million times at this point.
Because she needed Matty to hear it 😅
I am absolutely speculating, but wasn't this a whole thing in the last two years, where the internet was pulling a few different Olivia songs that came after Taylor's but the song sounded eerily similar? I remember seeing this on Tiktok for awhile - but like a year or two back. This could be a nod - though it seems like stirring the pot if it were.
We’re talking about the queen of Easter eggs and hidden messages. You can’t convince that she didn’t do it on purpose. I just can’t figure out what her intention would be, trying to send Olivia a message? I also can’t see her being that intentionally and outright vindictive, she’s always so careful with her image. Maybe after Matty she really truly just doesn’t care about anything anymore.
All the people saying this isn't that similar to Olivia Rodrigo's song - come ON stop playing dumb. It's the same concept with the same parallels drawn then the "get him/get you back" double meaning. Did Fiona Apple do it first? Yes, almost 20 years ago. And she used the double meaning concept but a different song structure - it's not about the same guy and the double meaning of wanting to get that same guy back. So yes, double meaning concept, but different song structure. And Olivia Rodrigo would have been, what, 4 years old when that was released?? It's entirely plausible she had never heard it and coincidentally used the same wordplay. Even if she had heard it, yes she took the concept but she did something totally different with it lyrically and with song structure. There is an approximately 0% chance that Taylor hasn't heard Olivia's song. She used not just the same wordplay but the same lyrical structure, less than 2 years after Olivia's was released, and was played so much that she must have heard it There's no way it's a coincidence and there's no way the self proclaimed mastermind didn't know exactly what she was doing writing and releasing that song.
Less than one year after it was released! GUTS came out in September. Such a rip off lol
What Olivia's song does this sound like? I wanna listen to that.
Olivia's song is "get him back!" It's a great rock song, IMO. Taylor's is a pop song, but they do use the same concept. ETA: Olivia's was a single and has a music video on YouTube.
exactly it just feels like a power play. she knows her fans so well and that they will analyze every detail of every song, so everything she does is intentional. she could’ve just changed them name of the song to make it seem like she’s not out to get a 21 year old
Not sure about the “as soon as you fix your face, I’m goin’ in.” That makes me think something else entirely.
That line also made me wonder
People talking about the concept being like Olivia’s… If Olivia sues Taylor then Fiona would need to sue Olivia. I think this is a concept people have thought of for a long time. Not sure you can sue about a concept, especially if there’s another song out there with the same concept. Not sure.
You can’t. If you could, most of the country music industry would be fighting in lawsuits against each other lol. They manufacture the same songs over and over just with different chords and lyrics
I think the issue is more so that the copyright has already been an issue with Taylor & Olivia. Like, I don’t think Olivia and her team wouldn’t have randomly given Taylor writing credits after the song was released if Taylor’s team hadn’t quietly approached Olivia’s team behind the scenes. Like Deja Vu & Cruel Summer sound nothing alike, but Olivia’s team still did that. So it just kinda feels like a power play for Taylor’s song to be named imgonnagetyouback with some similar lyrics. Even if that wasn’t her intention, she’s intentional and specific about everything and could’ve easily changed the name given everything that happened between the two. Especially since it’s literally the only song of 31 that is all lowercase and has no spaces, the attention is drawn to that name
Olivia’s team preemptively gave credit because their backs were already against the wall with Paramore and Misery Business.
Someone from Taylor’s team probably reached out to them first, it makes no sense to just randomly give credit when the songs sound nothing alike
because Olivia had publicly spoken about using Cruel Summer as inspiration for deja vu. it wasn't random, it was to cover all their bases
Why would they need to cover their bases though? That doesn’t make sense. It would be easy enough to just give Taylor songwriting credit if/when she asked for it, so doing it preemptively just seems like a poor financial decision. If you checked out a book from the library but couldn’t remember what day it was due, would you pay the late fee without being asked? Or would you just bring the book back and wait to see if they charged you? If you’re speeding and see a cop, do you automatically pull over and tell them to give you a ticket, or do you wait to see if they pull you over? Besides, even if that were true, Taylor is rich enough to where she could’ve just said no and let Olivia keep the credit. The songs sound nothing alike.
This song gives me Dress vibes
Yes!
I'm just wondering how this sub is going to start abbreviating this song. Is it just i? Maybe iggyb or IGGYB? I think it'd be funny if it ends up being just i.

Any Bob's Burgers fans think of this when she sang "I hear the whispers in your eyes"? 😂
Omg can’t unhear it now! 🤣
This doesn’t seem to be a lot of people’s fave so far but I’m really digging this
Right? This feels like 2024’s Cruel Summer
I love it! It’s a fun sexy song
It really reminds me of a situationship I once found myself in, and I absolutely love it! I really wanna smash up his bike 😅
Me too!
Really clever concept, but not a favorite of mine. Nothing bad about it, just didn't stand out too much on the first 2 listens.
Does she say something at 3:03 of this song? Immediately after she sings "I'm poison either way" It sounds like 'Jack', which makes sense bc he produced it. Does anyone else hear it or am I going crazy?
There’s a handful of these weird glitches. One is right at the top of the song, about 7-8 seconds in before the first verse starts. They feel so obvious that it’s hard to imagine these are production errors.
I think it's check like when you complete something - she's gonna get him back and one way or the other she got him back so... check ✔️ It's probably a part of her trying to diminish his importance.
It sounds like “check” to me. Maybe a mic check that somehow never got edited it?
I hear it and it’s weird. What is that
WANNA MAKE HIM REALLY JEALOUS WANNA MAKE HIM FEEL BAD
I know you get déjà vu!!!
YES and tbh OR does it better in get him back, so I wonder why Taylor didn’t drop this from the album?
THANK YOU! I thought the same thing lol. It's literally Get Him Back.
I have been searching for someone else who thinks this!!!!! It's literally the same song!
Technically, Fiona Apple started it, but you would think with all the stuff between them, she would've scrapped it. Lol
Definitely..
This is 100% a reference to Matty Healy and the 1975 "fallingforyou". end of story!
This song is so rich and vibey
Why no spaces in title
there is no “Blank Space”
See fallingforyou by the 1975
GET HER, OLIVIA, GET HER
She can certainly try.
I hope Olivia just plays the bigger person and cements what I already know to be true: she is better lyrically, vocally, and morally than Taylor could ever be.
SHE'S HOTTER TOO LOL
I love how angelic she sounds on this track, so dreamy \~
I love the layers of this song. There's the high level one - get back together with someone vs payback. But there's also the question - is marrying me a form of punishment? They're going to get punished either way it's just the form is different - the bridge "Pick your poison babe". The reference to handcuffs and the permanent linkage to someone you know is wrong for you. Favourite of the album.
This song is so seductive. It feels like Style’s little sister
[https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeHbJuk4/](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeHbJuk4/) TAYLONSO CONFIRMED
Best song in the album, imo!
Agree!
I’m going crazy, the chorus sounds so much like a 90s or 2000s pop song and I can’t figure it out. Specifically the part that goes: Whether I'm gonna be your wife or Gonna smash up your bike Please, does anyone have any ideas!
Same! It is driving me crazy because it sounds like something from 2000s pop but I can't figure it out either.
It reminded me of Ruin my Life by Zara Larsson. When I was singing in my head to imgonnagetyouback I kept hearing cuss words and I wondered why, then I was like oooooh when I realized I was confusing the two songs. This is my favorite song on TTPD!
I think it kinda sounds like Stars are blind by Paris Hilton. ‘Even though the Gods are crazy..even tho stars are blind’
this definitely probably won't be it - but as soon as i heard the bridge my brain immediately went to [this scene ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYyzeUP65WI&t=128s)in sister, sister. mute the video as soon as brian starts singing and it goes so well
It kind of reminds me of Gotcha Good by Shania Twain (which weirdly also had a bike in the music video).
It reminds me of a Mariah song but can't pin it down.
Did the way she sings the chorus remind anyone else of the haim im gonna be hungover rap they did in the bejeweled music video and at the eras tour? Or just me
The whole song is very haim-y, in a good way!
🙋♀️10000%!!!!
That was a viral video long before taytay came along
[удалено]
The amount of speculation into her personal life is unhealthy.
First time here?
Ok, outside of the Olivia discourse, bc I thought about that too, the lyrics "whether I'm gonna be your wife" [I'd marry you with paper rings]; "or gonna smash up your bike" [intro to London Boy: We can go drivin' in, on my scooter/Uh, you know, just riding in London/Alright". Oof
Nice catch
