Amid the feel-good, rambunctiously sensual ‘Midnights,’ Taylor Swift has released a vault track that could have never made it to the album, titled ‘You’re Losing Me.’ During her May 26, 2023, ‘Eras’ tour concert in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium, Taylor exclusively released the song. She first released the song on a CD edition, which was restricted to the fans at the concert venue. Later, she released it digitally on her website.
The lyrics to “You’re Losing Me’ allude to her recent breakup with Joe Alwyn after six years. The lyrics hint at the inevitability of the end of something beautiful most devastatingly. One lyric goes, “Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? / I’m getting tired even for a phoenix / Always rising from the ashes / Mending all her gashes / You might just have dealt the final blow.”
It is the first single in a while where Swift is talking about her relationship struggles without fictionalizing any context. Along with this heartbreaking song, Swift released two more songs that were far, tonally, from this one. One was the ‘Karma’ remix with the rap sensation Ice Spice, and she brought more Lana Del Ray with the ‘Snow on the Beach’ remix. However, the Swifties strongly reacted to the song, and their reactions oscillated between sad and devastated.

‘You’re Losing Me,’ though not directly, hints at the dwindling relationship between Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn. After six years, the couple had an amicable breakup. The fans were concerned when Joe was not present during any show of her new tour. Alwyn and Swift collaborated on songs for which the actor penned lyrics under the pseudonym William Bowery.
Swifties hinted at the transition from lyrics like “I hope I never lose you/ I hope it never ends” to “I wouldn’t marry me either/ A pathological people pleaser.” The theme of the song was very similar to her previous songs like ‘The Great War,’ ‘Exile,’ and ‘Champagne Problems.’ Swifties flooded Twitter with their reactions to this new ballad from their beloved artist.
