Taylor Swift's New Song 'I Knew It, I Knew You' for Toy Story 5 Soundtrack: A Musical Journey with Jessie
Taylor Swift has revealed that she has written and performed a new song for the upcoming Toy Story 5 soundtrack. The song, titled “I Knew It, I Knew You,” will be available for families to enjoy on Friday, June 5th. Swift expressed her excitement about the opportunity to write for the beloved Toy Story characters, whom she has admired since childhood. She was inspired to create the song after watching an early screening of Toy Story 5 and falling in love with the film.
The new song, co-written and co-produced by Jack Antonoff, is said to be inspired by Jessie’s storyline in Toy Story 5, which originated in Toy Story 2. Swift's return to her country roots is evident in the song, blending styles that have defined her successful career as a songwriter and artist. Fans can now pre-order three different collector’s edition CD versions of the song on Swift’s website.
For years, Randy Newman has been the lyrical voice of the Toy Story franchise with iconic songs like “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “When She Loved Me,” and “We Belong Together.” Swift, known for her contributions to movie soundtracks, has worked on various films, including Hannah Montana: The Movie, The Hunger Games series, Fifty Shades Darker, and Cats. Despite her impressive track record, she has yet to receive an Oscar nomination for her work, unlike Newman, who has been recognized for his Toy Story songs.
Toy Story 5 is set to premiere on June 19th, and fans can look forward to hearing Swift’s new song in the film. With her heartfelt lyrics and musical talent, Swift’s contribution to the Toy Story soundtrack is sure to captivate audiences of all ages.
