Swift wrote on Twitter about the song, "About a year & half ago I wrote a song about the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively & literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness & independence. Her curiosity & fear all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness & the world’s betrayal of it."
In another tweet, she added, "I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then @AaronDessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now."
"Carolina" marks the "All Too Well" singer-songwriter's first release since "This Love (Taylor's Version)," a re-recorded take on the 2014 ballad from her 1989 album, which was dropped after it was featured in the trailer for Amazon Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty series.
Where the Crawdads Sing hits theaters July 15.
