It's not bad on first listen, it sounds like a midway point between 1989 (the chorus especially) and what I imagine Reputation to sound like. Considering it's Taylor, I think it'll grow on me with repeated listens, but I'm not as excited for Reputation as I was with her previous albums based on the two songs that I have heard.

It sort of reminds me of a rap influenced version of The Hills if it was more poppy

Does anyone know the lyrics for the verses, every other lyric set only has the pre-chorus, the chorus and the bridge right now? Because, oh my God those verses are a killer. Slay me Taylor, and she does. [Verse 1] Knew he was a killer First time that I saw him Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted But if he's a ghost then I can be a phantom Holding him for ransom Some, some boys are trying too hard He don't try at all though Younger than my exes but he act like such a man so I see nothing better, I keep him forever Like a vendetta [Pre-Chorus] I-I-I see how this is gonna go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know [Chorus] In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see the things we do, baby In the middle of the night in my dreams I know I'm gonna be with you So I take my time In the middle of the night (Are you ready for it?) [Verse 2] Me, I was a robber First time that he saw me Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry But if I'm a thief then He can join the heist And we'll move to an island He can be my jailer, [?] to this Taylor Every lover known in comparison is a failure I forget their names now I'm so very tame now Never be the same now [Pre-Chorus] I-I-I see how this is gonna go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know [Chorus] In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see the things we do, baby In the middle of the night in my dreams (Are you ready for it?) (Ooh, are you ready for it?) Post-Chorus] Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin (Are you ready for it?) Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin (Are you ready for it?) [Bridge] I-I-I see how this is gonna go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know [Chorus] In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see the things we do, baby In the middle of the night in my dreams I know I'm gonna be with you So I take my time In the middle of the night [Post-Chorus] Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin (Are you ready for it?) Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin (Are you ready for it?)

Wow! Infatuated after just 1 listen, this song is such an ear worm. Definitely like it better than LWYMD.
Seems a little premature to release it, though.

Currently #2 on iTunes... right behind LWYMMD.
EDIT: Or it was #2, because Kworb bugged out on me when I refreshed the page.

The WTNY comparison is apt, and I didn't care for that one much either.

She raps better than Beyoncé. Taylor came, delivered and conquered. #popkhaleesi

I don't see the WTNY comparisons, if anything it sounds like something in the vein of Bad Blood, mixed with the rap bridge of Shake It Off, only multiplied into the verses. It also has some Wildest Dreams and I Know Places.

The production on the verses eats her alive. Way too loud and her rap/vocals are too thin and buried in the mix.
I like the pre-chorus and the chorus a lot though.

Eh, this sounds like it could have been a bonus track on the last album, and not as good as those. Pretty much. The beginning is promising, but it never builds on it. The chorus is good, but she's had better in a similar vein on multiple past albums.

It's like they went for a Trap/Pop mix approach and failed completely to make it happen. Idek what they were thinking with this production.
She was better off keeping it cute and tropical as in the 2nd chorus.

This is so much better than LWYMMD. It sounds like it came out in 2010 though.

I really like this. Much more instant than Look What You Made Me Do.
Just dethroned herself on iTunes. She wrote the song with Max Martin, Ali Payami, and Shellback.

Also, as suspected, it's the album opener. I think it works well as just that, much like Welcome to New York was a good album opener but not really single material.

I'm feeling this. I like it a lot better than LWYMMD. I don't really hear the 1989 connection though except may the single version of "Bad Blood"?
