The singer-songwriter revealed that she watched the film earlier the same day, which sparked the inspiration to write and record the track featured at the movie’s conclusion.
Swift wrote and produced the original song, titled "I Knew It, I Knew You," specifically for the character Jessie, a beloved figure known for her resilience and emotional depth in the Toy Story franchise. The song incorporates elements of country music, reconnecting Swift with her musical roots. She described the experience of creating a song for Jessie as both a fresh challenge and a familiar journey, reflecting her longtime admiration for the series since childhood.
On her own Instagram, Swift shared how the day was hectic but enjoyable, emphasizing that watching an early screening of Toy Story 5 fueled her immediate desire to contribute musically. She also posted personal memorabilia, including a childhood video of herself dressed as a cowgirl—a nod to Jessie’s iconic look—and photos of the film’s director Andrew Stanton and co-writer Kenna Harris.
