Call It What You Want (Taylor Swift song)

"Call It What You Want" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on November 3, 2017, as the fourth promotional single from her sixth studio album, Reputation (2017).

The song, written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, is a synth-pop track with elements of R&B and electronic music. Lyrically, "Call It What You Want" focuses on Swift's relationship with her then-boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn, contrasting the negative public perception surrounding her reputation with the solace and stability she finds in their love.

The song received positive reviews from critics, who praised its intimate lyrics, catchy melody, and production. Many highlighted its confessional nature and deemed it a highlight of the Reputation album. It charted in several countries, including the United States, where it peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
