== "SLUT!" ==

The song “Slut!” is a song we wrote for 1989
And, in it, I kind of sort of cheekily play on the discussions at that time in my life around my dating life

And that's not the only time on 1989 that I've done that
I did that on Blank Space

And I think when I came down to having to pick songs for the album
I think I thought, "Okay, well, I'm going to choose Blank Space"
And unfortunately had to make some though decisions in terms of what to put on the track list

But I love this song because I think it's really dreamy and really, I don't know
Like, I always saw 1989 as a New York album, but this song to me was always California
And maybe that was another reason it didn't make the cut
'Cause sometimes thematically I just have these weird little rules in my head

But I'm so happy
It's finally going to be something that you guys hear
Because I have always been proud of it
I've always wanted it to come out into the world, and now it is
So yay


== NOW THAT WE DON'T TALK ==

Now That We Don't Talk is one of my favorite songs that was left behind
It was so hard to leave it behind
But I think we wrote it a little bit towards the end of the process
And we couldn't get the production right at the time

But we had tons of time to perfect the production this time
And figure out what we wanted the song to sound like

And I just think it's a, I think it's the shortest song I've ever had
But I think it packs a punch, I think it really goes in
For the short amount of time we have, I think it makes it's point


== IS IT OVER NOW ==

Is It Over Now was a song I wanted to end the album
Because I think it's a kind of funny play on words, of like, "is the album over now?"

And I always thought this song as sort of a sister to Out Of The Woods and I Wish You Would
I kind of saw those songs as similar

So unfortunately when we were making these decisions on what to put on 1989, what to leave behind
I had to make some tough choices

And now that doesn't matter anymore, because you guys are gonna hear all the songs
So, I am so happy about this one being out

I really love the, "Let's fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later"
That section, just, I feel like head-banging to every time it comes on
Hope you agree
