Lavender Haze
"Lavender Haze" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). Swift wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff, Jahaan Sweet, and Sounwave. Zoë Kravitz and Sam Dew were co-writers, and Braxton Cook was an additional producer. The title was inspired by a phrase used in the series Mad Men that refers to the state of being in love. Republic Records released "Lavender Haze" to US radio on November 29, 2022, as the album's second single.
"Lavender Haze" incorporates pop fusion genres, ambient house, and disco, with elements of hip-hop and R&B. Its production is characterized by a thumping bassline, pulsing modular synthesizers, and layered falsetto vocals in the refrain. The lyrics were inspired by the media scrutiny surrounding Swift's relationship with the English actor Joe Alwyn: the narrator disregards others' opinions on her relationship and unwed status, and she affirms her desire to stay in love with her partner. Music critics interpreted the lyrics from a feminist perspective, and they generally praised the track's production as restrained, sophisticated, and catchy.
The single peaked at number two on the Billboard Global 200 chart and on the singles charts of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United States. It has been certified platinum in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Swift wrote and directed the music video for "Lavender Haze", which was released on January 27, 2023. It incorporates psychedelic and surrealist visual elements and features the Dominican-American model and transgender activist Laith Ashley as Swift's love interest. She included "Lavender Haze" in the set list of her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift conceived her tenth original studio album, Midnights, as a collection of songs about her nocturnal ruminations, detailing a wide range of emotions such as regret, lust, nostalgia, contentment, and self-loathing. She produced the standard edition of Midnights with Jack Antonoff. Swift announced the track listing via a thirteen-episode short video series on the platform TikTok; the title of "Lavender Haze" was revealed in the episode posted on October 7, 2022.
"Lavender Haze" was written by Swift, Antonoff, Sounwave, Jahaan Sweet, Sam Dew, and Zoë Kravitz. Sounwave wrote the initial track within 15 minutes. After experimenting with different sounds, he "[hit] one button by accident", which played a voice memo that Sweet had sent to him: it was a recording of his roommate Braxton Cook singing wordless melodies over some chords. Antonoff, who was in the same room with Sounwave, was fascinated by the sound. They teamed up with Dew and Kravitz to write an R&B groove using keyboards, built on Cook's vocal coos; according to Sounwave, Dew came up with the melodies and Kravitz added some sonic embellishments.
Antonoff shared the track to Swift, who wrote the lyrics based on her personal life, recorded her vocals, and sent the finished output to the other writers. Sounwave recalled their reactions when Antonoff played the finished track: "[...] all our mouths dropped. [Swift] took it to a whole new world and made it her own [by creating] different pockets we did not hear." In the credits of Midnights, Swift, Antonoff, Sounwave, and Sweet are credited as the producers of "Lavender Haze", and Cook as an additional producer.
"Lavender Haze" incorporates four on the floor beats, a thumping bassline generated with a synth bass, and downtempo rhythms. Swift's vocals are layered and sung in her breathy upper vocal register against swirling modular synthesizers, with background vocals from Kravitz, Dew, and Antonoff. In the refrain, she sings in her falsetto range.
Critics categorized "Lavender Haze" into pop fusion genres such as synth-pop, electropop, dream pop, and disco-pop. Some reviews described it as ambient house and "slow disco". The track displays influences of rhythmic styles, like R&B and hip-hop. The bassline is the Reese bass, characterized by a very low bass patch, that evokes dance and club styles such as techno, UK garage, and jungle.
