Taylor wrote this one for Jessie, and it leans country, closer to her early records than to anything she put out this decade. Jack Antonoff produced it with her. It plays over the end credits, which is a hard slot: half the room is already looking for their coats. The context is the better story. Randy Newman wrote every song in the first four Toy Story films, and this is the first one in the series he didn't write. She said she wrote it asking "what would Randy do", which is a kind thing to say about the man whose seat she took. It went in at No. 1, the first Pixar song to do that. Not her best single, but it does what a Toy Story song is for: it makes the walk out of the cinema a little slower.
