Taylor Swift's Netflix Doc Will Feature Unheard Song "Only the Young"

She continued, "And I found that to be particularly tragic, because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun violence, and student loans and trying to figure out how to start their lives and how to pay their bills, and climate change, and are we going to war — all these horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now."

With lyrics like, "You did all that you could do / The game was rigged, the ref got tricked/ The wrong ones think they're right / We were outnumbered — this time," Swift perfectly encapsulates the energy surrounding the election. Songwriting partner Joel Little noted, "Lyrically, that song has got so many gut punches in it — just really important lines, I feel. As that song was coming together and we were realizing what it was saying, it was a very emotional aura."  

Swift recorded the song during the time she worked on 2019's Lover and kept it under wraps until the perfect moment presented itself.
