Out of the Woods

"Out of the Woods" is the fourth song from Taylor Swift's fifth studio album, 1989. It was released on October 14, 2014 as a promotional single for the album and, later, as the sixth single on February 5, 2016. It is a pop, synth-pop, electropop, indietronica and electro song about Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, Harry Styles. The song's music video debuted on December 31, 2015 (New Year's Eve). Swift said that "Out of the Woods" is one of her "favorite songs on this album because it best represents 1989." She explained that the song is about "the fragility and breakable nature of some relationships. This was a relationship where I was kind of living day-to-day wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day."
