Don’t You (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)

About this song

"Don't You" was added to the tracklist of Swift's re-release of her sophomore album. It was formerly one of her rarest unreleased songs. In April 2021, Swift posted a video in which the vault opened and scrambled words came out, and the song was reversed and used as the background music for that video.

What it's about

The song describes running into an ex and being pulled back into the pain of their shared history. Swift can't understand how this person doesn't feel the same hurt, and she resigns herself to moving on and turning down their wish to pretend they can stay friends.
