\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI Think He Knows\u201d is the sixth track on Taylor\u2019s seventh studio album, Lover<\/a><\/em> (2019). Released on August 23, 2019, it was co-written by Taylor and Jack Antonoff. The upbeat pop song captures the giddy beginnings of a potential romance, as Taylor finds herself falling for a crush who may already know exactly how she feels.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn \u201cI Think He Knows,\u201d Taylor explores the appeal of quiet confidence, focusing on someone whose self-assurance makes him all the more attractive. Interestingly, the song\u2019s title also leaves room for a little ambiguity: does he really know how she feels, or is Taylor simply hoping he does?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor began working on Lover <\/em>during a week in New York in July 2018 while still on the \u201creputation Stadium Tour<\/a>,\u201d before the album\u2019s main recording sessions began after the tour concluded that November. “I Think He Knows” emerged during the making of an album Taylor approached from a markedly different creative place than its predecessor, reputation <\/a><\/em>(2017). In an interview with Vogue <\/em>in 2019, she described Lover <\/em>as a \u201cnew beginning\u201d and a \u201clove letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory,\u201d while recalling that she wrote from an \u201copen, free, romantic, whimsical place.\u201d\n

\nWritten and produced by Taylor and Jack Antonoff, \u201cI Think He Knows\u201d was one of several tracks on Lover<\/em> created through their close creative partnership. Antonoff had previously collaborated with Taylor on 1989<\/a><\/em> (2014) and reputation<\/em>, and their work together continued to shape the sound of her seventh studio album. The song\u2019s upbeat pop arrangement reflects the brighter, more playful direction Taylor explored throughout Lover<\/em>, which she described during the album\u2019s promotional campaign as a departure from the darker aesthetic of her previous record. In a radio interview that year, she said:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u00abThis album in tone, it's very romantic. And not just simply fanatically like it's all love songs or something. The idea of something being romantic, it doesn't have to be a happy song. I think that you can find romance in loneliness, or sadness, or going through a conflict, or dealing with things in your life. It just looks at those things with a very romantic gaze.\u00bb\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor first teased \u201cI Think He Knows\u201d in the music video for \u201cYou Need To Calm Down<\/a>,\u201d released in June 2019. In one scene, a street sign reading \u201c16th Avenue\u201d appears at the entrance to a neighbourhood. The detail was a subtle reference that Taylor later explained was not random: 16th Avenue in Nashville is home to the city\u2019s Music Row, where many songwriting and publishing companies are based. Taylor had spent time writing songs there earlier in her career, making the sign a small personal reference tucked into the video before “I Think He Knows” itself had been released.\n

\n\u201cI Think He Knows\u201d was released on August 23, 2019, as the sixth track on Lover<\/em>. With its lively sound and understated confidence, the song captures the lighter, more carefree creative perspective Taylor embraced throughout the album.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
