"Willow" is a song by Taylor Swift from her ninth studio album, Evermore). It was released on December 11, 2020, as the lead single from the album). The song is a chamber folk love song that makes use of several metaphors to convey the singers romantic state of mind). The lyrics create a whimsical image of wanting someone and the start of falling in love. According to Swift, the song is about intrigue, desire, and the complexity that goes into wanting someone. The lyrics include lines such as "Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind" and "Im begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, thats my man"). While some fans speculate that the song is about Swifts boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, Swift has said that both Evermore and Folklore include lyrics that arent biographical and are completely fictional, so "Willow" could be one of them.
