Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)

And I scream “For whatever it’s worth
C                                                                      N.C.
I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?”

Cruel Summer Song Details

The song’s title was an easter egg in the music video for “You Need to Calm Down”, the second single from Taylor Swift’s seventh studio album Lover (2019). Termed by Swift as a song about a “summer romance”, “Cruel Summer” sees Swift describing an uncertain romantic relationship with elements of pain and desperation in it. It portrays the challenges faced by pop stars in the public spotlight. The vulnerability of the song’s lyrics has drawn comparisons to “Delicate”, the fifth track on Swift’s 2017 album Reputation. American musician St. Vincent co-wrote and played a guitar on “Cruel Summer”.
