The song is from The National’s upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein, slated for release on Friday from British record label 4AD.
Swift is one of three featured artists on the new album, including Surfjan Stevens and Phoebe Bridgers.
Swift co-wrote the song with The National singer Matt Berninger and guitarist Aaron Dessner, who Swift has collaborated with in the past.

The song follows Berninger singing about meeting someone with a ‘golden notebook’ at The Alcott, who was, ‘writing about someone who used to be me.’
The chorus – sung by both Swift and Berninger – continues, ‘And the last thing you wanted/Is the first thing I do/I tell you my problems/ It’s the last thing you wanted.’
‘It’s the first thing I do/I tell you that I think I’m fallin’/Back in love with you,’ the chorus concludes.
The song appears to be a break-up song, with lyrics like, ‘Give me some tips to forget you though the chorus keeps repeating, ‘I think I’m fallin’ back in love with you.’
Swift sings the last line of the song – ‘Back in love with you’ – as the four-minute-27-second song comes to an end.
While it’s unclear if the song has any connection to Swift’s recent break-up with Joe Alwyn, it comes just under three weeks after their split.
Sources claimed the split was ‘amicable’ and ‘not dramatic,’ which happened while Swift is embarking on her The Eras Tour, which kicked off in March.
‘The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows,’ a source told Page Six, adding they broke up a few weeks before it was first reported on April 8.
