And then I released another one called “Driftin’ Man” on my Breakaway Angel (opens in new tab) album. In ’95, I released “Life,” with Branford Marsalis playing this beautiful sax on it. So he used three songs and I used three, and I put out a couple after that in ’85 on the Damaged Goods (opens in new tab) album. Lou did a spoken version, though, and I always wanted to do a version with the actual melody in it. He loved my chorus to “City Lights” and didn’t want to mess with it, but he wrote a story about Charlie Chaplin, and he wanted to use it on The Bells. There were three he wanted to use right away. In the back of my mind I always thought Lou would call one day and say, 'Let’s dust off those songs we never got to' Nils Lofgren So I made some coffee and stayed on the phone with him for two hours, meticulously writing down every single lyric he’d written for all the songs. It startled me, and I thought, Did I just write 13 songs with Lou Reed? He was jacked up about it and wanted to dictate them to me right then. And then Lou woke me up at four one morning and said he’d been up three nights straight and had finished 13 sets of lyrics that he felt great about. So I sent him a 13-song cassette – remember this was 1979 – and just carried on my pre-production work with Bob.Ībout a month went by, and I kind of forgot about it, because I was wrapped up in a lot of music that we did have. He asked me to send him a tape of what I had and leave all the lyrics and titles in, and just let him live with that. How did you actually start the writing process? I told him that I wrote songs all the time but lyrics always took more work, and he said it was the exact opposite for him: Words poured out in pretty good shape, but the music was more of a struggle. So Bob called Lou, and he was into the idea, which I was pleasantly surprised about. Bob suggested that rather than have me keep attacking them with rewrites, what about co-writing with Lou Reed? It seemed an unlikely thing to pull off, but I was certainly open to it. We had a lot of songs we liked, but I also had a lot of music with titles and partial lyrics, none of which we felt strongly about.
It was kind of a magical musical accident where Bob Ezrin and I were doing pre-production for the Nils album. Here, the lyrics-and all the shade seemingly thrown at Gyllenhaal-to take in, via Genius.How did you meet Lou Reed and wind up co-writing all those tunes? I think that that's what it ended up being.” We wanted this song to be like a comedic, tongue-in-cheek, funny, not caring what anyone thinks about you sort of breakup song because there are a lot of different types of heartbreak songs on Red-some of them are very sincere, some of them very stoic and heartbreaking and sad-we wanted this to be the moment where you're like, ‘I don't care about anything.’ We wanted to kind of make people laugh with it, and we wanted it to be sort of a drinking song. I'd always wanted to work with her.I wrote this with her at her house when I was playing Foxboro on the Speak Now Tour. Swift said of the track, “This is a song I wrote with Lori McKenna, who's one of my favorite singer-songwriters ever. Billboard pointed out that radio station Country 102.5 shared an audio clip of Swift talking about creating “I Bet You Think About Me” to celebrate Red's re-release. Swift spoke in 2011 about the track's meaning. Swifties saw the song as a clear Gyllenhaal diss track, and they had plenty of jokes to make about it when the song came out Friday: (Swift referenced Gyllenhaal's music taste in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” another track believed to be about him, too: “I'm really gonna miss you picking fights /And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right /And you would hide away and find your peace of mind /With some indie record that's much cooler than mine.”) Lines like “You grew up in a silver-spoon gated community / Glamorous, shiny, bright Beverly Hills” (Gyllenhaal was born into an industry family his father is director Stephen Gyllenhaal) and “I bet you think about me when you're out/At your cool indie music concerts every week” take aim at Gyllenhaal's lifestyle. In the song itself, Gyllenhaal gets some pretty overt lyrical shoutouts. On Sunday, Swift announced she was releasing a music video for the track on Monday morning.
#THINK OF ME LYRICS FULL#
The song is full of cheeky jabs at an ex-seemingly Jake Gyllenhaal, the subject of “All Too Well,” who Swift dated for three months in 2010.
While Taylor Swift's 10-minute version of “All Too Well” got the most attention of her new Red re-recordings “From the Vault,” the singer is rightfully putting the spotlight on another track, “I Bet You Think About Me,” which didn't appear on the album originally.
