*swoon* 😍 taylorswift13 & ShawnMendes just dropped a remix for Lover
. "Hey guys, I wanted to tell you about something that I'm really excited about," Swift said in a video teasing the song on Wednesday morning . "There is a new version of 'Lover' coming, a remix featuring someone who I'm such a huge fan of and I've known for a really long time. And someone I have always really been dying to collaborate with."
The spin on her album's title track, which dropped just after midnight, keeps some of the same romantic lyrics but with a new twist provided by Mendes. "We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen baby," Mendes sings in a breathy voice over acoustic guitars. "Pictures of when we were young they hang on the wall/ And we would sit on the stoop and I'll sing love songs to you when we're 80/ See I finally got you now, honey I won't let you fall.
"He has taken 'Lover' and he has re-written parts of it, which I think is so important because I love him as a writer," Swift said of the personal touch Mendes added to the title track of her latest album. "And I also think that everybody would write a different love letter to their lover and I think his take on it is so beautiful."
Mendes also joins Swift on the song's reworked chorus, their voices intertwining as he later adds another layer to the mid-song breakdown, bringing the ultimate love story into the mix. "The girl in my story has always been you/ I'd go down with the Titanic, it's true for you... Lover," he sings before adding some falsetto ad libs as the song rushes to its conclusion.
