It's Nice to Have a Friend
Swift co-wrote and produced "I Knew It, I Knew You" with her long-time confidant Jack Antonoff
Jessie gets her flowers in Taylor Swift‘s Toy Story 5 song “I Knew It, I Knew You.” The track pulls inspiration from the Pixar series’ beloved character, who is featured on the art for the track, and marks a return to Swift’s country roots.
On the blissful song, Swift sings the catchy chorus, “I saw you, standing there in the light of the window/Wearing that same smile/Man, it’s been a while.” The star reunited with her longtime collaborator and friend Jack Antonoff to co-produce and co-write “I Knew It, I Knew You” (the duo last worked together on 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department).
“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,” Swift wrote in an Instagram post alongside a video of herself as little girl wearing a cowgirl hat and boots. The singer said being a Toy Story fan since she was five-years-old “is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.”
