Laporan Wartawan Grid.ID, Annisa Marifah

Grid.ID - Taylor Swift merilis album dengan lagu-lagu baru.

Salah satu lagu baru Taylor berjudul 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?'.

Melansir Genius.com pada Minggu (21/4/2024), lirik lagu baru Taylor Swift ini dinilai konfrontatif.

Taylor membahas dan mengejek semua rumor seputar kehidupan profesional dan pribadinya.

Dalam 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?, Taylor disebut menyoroti bagaimana media terus-menerus merendahkan.

Lagu ini memiliki sentimen serupa dengan lagu sebelumnya dalam diskografi Taylor, yaitu 'the last great american dinasty', 'mad woman',  'Look What You Made Me Do', dan 'Miss Americana & The HeartBreak Prince'.

Lagu ini memiliki banyak kesamaan instrumental dan vokal dengan album Reputation sebelumnya.

Diduga Taylor menulis lagu ini di tengah hubungan barunya dengan Travis Kelce.

Fans percaya album ini ditulis segera setelah masa perpisahannya dengan Joe Alwyn.

Judul lagu baru ini juga diduga merujuk pada drama karya Edward Albee 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?', sebuah film yang mengeksplorasi kompleksitas pernikahan yang gagal.

Ini lirik lengkap 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me':

[Verse 1]
The who's who of "Who's that?" is poised for the attack
But my bare hands paved their paths
You don't get to tell me about "sad"

[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanted me dead, you should've just said
Nothing makes me feel more alive

[Chorus]
So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who's afraid of little old me?"
You should be

[Verse 2]
The scandal was contained
The bullet had just grazed
At all costs, keep your good name
You don't get to tell me you feel bad

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one morе joke
Then we could all just laugh until I cry

[Chorus]
So I lеap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who's afraid of little old me?"
I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean
"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
Who's afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be

[Post-Chorus]
(You should be) You should be
(You should be) You should be
You should be (You should be)
You should be (You should be)
You should be

[Bridge]
So tell me everything is not about me
But what if it is?
Then say they didn't do it to hurt me
But what if they did?
I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs
I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?
That I'll sue you if you step on my lawn
That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong
Put narcotics into all of my songs
And that's why you're still singin' along

[Chorus]
So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who's afraid of little old me?"
I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean
"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
Who's afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be

[Post-Chorus]
(You should be) You should be
(You should be) You should be
'Cause you lured me (You should be)
And you hurt me (You should be)
And you taught me

[Outro]
You caged me and then you called me crazy
I am what I am 'cause you trained me
So who's afraid of me?
Who's afraid of little old me?
Who's afraid of little old me?
