Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff have written a new song for Toy Story 5, inspired by Jessie
The country-leaning track co-written with Jack Antonoff arrives via Pixar sequel soundtrack.
Taylor Swift has announced a new original song for Disney and Pixar's upcoming film 'Toy Story 5'.
Titled 'I Knew It, I Knew You', the track arrives on 5th June and serves as the first music to be released from the film's soundtrack ahead of the movie's cinema release on 19th June.
Written and produced by Swift alongside longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, the song is inspired by Jessie, the cowgirl character first introduced in 'Toy Story 2'. The track is described as a return to Swift's country roots while drawing on the songwriting style that has defined her career.
Speaking about the collaboration, 'Toy Story 5' director Andrew Stanton said: "It's incredible just how meaningful it's been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable."
The announcement follows a teaser campaign featuring "TS" billboards across cities including London, Los Angeles, Chicago and Toronto, alongside a countdown on Swift's official website.
'Toy Story 5' sees Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie facing a new challenge in the form of Lilypad, a tablet device voiced by Greta Lee. The film also features returning voice performances from Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack, with Randy Newman returning to compose the score.
'I Knew It, I Knew You' is released on 5th June. 'Toy Story 5' arrives in cinemas on 19th June.
