You Need to Calm Down is a song by singer Taylor Swift that was released on June 14, 2019, through Republic Records. It also serves as the second single from Swift's upcoming seventh studio album titled Lover.
The song finds Swift addressing various detractors who post hurtful comments online while also talking about things like self-love and being true to one's identity, which is the same theme that she used on her previous single ME!
Taylor opens up the first verse singing,
You are somebody that I don't know
But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, "Damn
It's 7 a.m."
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey
Are you okay?"
But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, "Damn
It's 7 a.m."
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey
Are you okay?"
Then on the pre-chorus, Swift made a reference to her 2017 feud with Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian singing,
And I ain't trying to mess with your self-expression
But I've learned the lesson
That stressing and obsessing
'Bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones
But I've learned the lesson
That stressing and obsessing
'Bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones
Before telling off all of the haters on the chorus with,
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down
Like, can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down
On the second verse of You Need To Calm Down, Taylor continues to show her support for the LGBTQ+ community with the lyrics,
Why are you mad
When you could be GLAAD?
(You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Making that sign
Must've taken all night
When you could be GLAAD?
(You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Making that sign
Must've taken all night
You Need To Calm Down is the uplifting LGBTQ+ anthem that you need in your lives right now. I really love the message behind the song. In my opinion, this is the best song that Taylor has released from the Lover era.
