Taylor Swift is in fact releasing a new song for \u201cToy Story 5\u201d titled, \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You.\u201d The new single releases Friday, June 5.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday morning, visitors to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.taylorswift.com\/password\">TaylorSwift.com<\/a> were greeted by a new countdown that featured the beloved character Jessie on a ranch, with a \u201cToy Story 5\u201d billboard perched on a hillside in the background. The imagery was a departure from the cloud-filled design used for the countdown that appeared on Swift\u2019s website <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/culture-lifestyle\/culture\/taylor-swift-toy-story-5-song-fan-theory-explained\/\">back in early May<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The song, written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, will be featured on the \u201cToy Story 5\u201d soundtrack when it releases on June 19. Fans can also purchase three different Collector\u2019s Edition CDs while supplies last. <\/p>\n<p>The song is inspired by \u201cthe rootin\u2019 tootin\u2019 cowgirl Jessie\u2019s ongoing journey\u201d in \u201cToy Story 5\u201d that began back in \u201cToy Story 2.\u201d The song also marks a return to Taylor Swift\u2019s country roots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredible just how meaningful it\u2019s been having Taylor write and perform this song,\u201d director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton said in a statement. \u201cHer connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable. The song is so deeply connected to \u2018Toy Story.\u2019 So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-the-wrap-read-more\">\n<div class=\"the-wrap-read-more__container\">\n\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"the-wrap-read-more__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/movies\/toy-story-5-50-buzz-lightyears-explained-andrew-stanton-pixar\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Swift posted the news herself on Instagram. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I\u2019ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie,\u201d she said in a post. \u201cI fell instantly in love with \u2018Toy Story 5\u2019 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZDXeuSkZjm\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p>Last week, speculation around the song intensified for fans in the form of a mysterious billboard campaign, which saw the letters \u201cTS\u201d in yellow laid against the aforementioned blue and white cloud wallpaper and underneath the \u201cDisney Pixar\u201d banner.<\/p>\n<p>Eagle-eyed fans quickly clocked that the billboard featured 13 clouds, which is famously Swift\u2019s lucky number. Billboards popped up around the globe, including in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the creative team behind \u201cToy Story 5\u201d tried to dispel the rumors by sharing in an interview that Swift did not write the film\u2019s closing song. Stanton, co-director McKenna \u201cKenna\u201d Harris and producer Lindsey Collins told YouTuber Khoslaa that they too saw the fan theories and were surprised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had never seen it before, and it surprised us,\u201d Stanton said of the countdown. \u201cWe would be freaking honored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Stanton\u2019s comment appeared to confirm that Swift did not pen the closing song of the movie, he never outright said that the singer wouldn\u2019t be featured at another point in the movie. <\/p>\n<p>Swift herself also teased the collaboration. After the countdown confusion last month, Swifties noticed during an end of April outing in New York City, that she wore every color featured in the \u201cToy Story 5\u201d poster. Namely, Swift was photographed wearing a blue and white stripped dress by Staud, as she carried a yellow Dior lady bag and donned bright red heels.
