The track was co-written and co-produced with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, drawing inspiration from early screenings of the film and the emotional journey of Jessie the Cowgirl.
The song sees Swift revisiting her country-influenced sound, built on warm, organic instrumentation including banjo, harmonica, piano, and steel pedal guitar. Its midtempo arrangement carries a nostalgic tone that complements the heartfelt storytelling at the core of the record.
Lyrically, “I Knew It, I Knew You” explores themes of reunion, memory, and lasting friendship, focusing on the emotional return of two long-lost companions.
At the end, the result is a tender, reflective piece that aligns closely with the narrative spirit of Toy Story 5 while showcasing Swift’s signature storytelling approach.
