The pop star revealed the track on her site today, exposing 3 unique CD songs including various variations of the tune (routine, piano, and acoustic). The track is set to show up June 5. (If the tune’s title appears familiar, Gracie Abrams has actually a track called, “I Knew It, I Know You.”)
“I’ve constantly imagined getting to compose for these characters who I’ve loved considering that I was a 5 years of age kid viewing the very firstToy Storyfilm,” Swift composed on Instagram. “I fell quickly in love withToy Story 5when I was fortunate sufficient to see it in its early phases, and I composed this tune as quickly as I got home from the screening. In some cases you feel in one’s bones, best?”

Then, on May 27,Toy Story 5directors Andrew Stanton and McKenna “Kenna” Harris and manufacturer Lindsey Collins deflected the reports in an interview, with Stanton stating it would be a “freaking honor” and Collins stating “It would be quite incredible” with a focus on “would.” Stanton flat-out rejected that a Swift tune would liquidate the movie. “The unfortunate fact is we viewed the motion picture being blended recently and the tune on completion was not Taylor Swift,” he stated.
