The following is an excerpt from an article that was featured on RollingStone.com:

“The track recalls the hallmarks of New Wave: sublime and serene keyboards, densely dreamy guitars (ostensibly played by the song's cowriter Jack Antonoff of the group fun.) and a gently upbeat drum-machine rhythm. It's a sound that recalls Simple Minds or even the Cranberries at their dream-poppiest, but with the confidence of Swift's vocals,” wrote Kory Grow of Rollingstone.com.
