The opening track of Lover sees Swift letting go of the qualms and struggles she described throughout her previous album, 2017’s reputation. It allows her to formally conclude those situations, contextualize the following track, “Cruel Summer,” and focus on the true theme of the album: the several t...
[Verse 1]
How many days did I spend thinking
'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?
Lived in the shade you were throwing
'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone
And I couldn't get away from ya
In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah
Your name on my lips, tongue-tied
Free rent, living in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
But then something happened one magical night
[Chorus]
I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
I forgot that you
[Verse 2]
Got out some popcorn
As soon as my rep started going down, down, down
Laughed on the school yard
As soon as I tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground
And I would've stuck around for ya
Would've fought the whole town, so yeah
Would've been right there, front row
Even if nobody came to your show
[Pre-Chorus]
But you showed who you are, then one magical night
[Chorus]
I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
I forgot that you
[Bridge]
Sent me a clear message
Taught me some hard lessons
I just forget what they were
It's all just a blur
[Chorus]
I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
I did, I did, I did
It isn't hate, it's just indifference
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
So, yeah

Taylor Swift released I Forgot That You Existed on Fri Aug 23 2019.
On the piano demo of the song that’s included on the deluxe edition of the album, Swift said:
I was writing with two writers I hadn’t ever worked with before, so I wanted to come in with an idea that was pretty much all there, melody and lyrics. So I had this idea called “I Forgot That You Existe...
When explaining the stories of each song for her Spotify promotional material, Swift said:
With the first song on this new album I wanted to bring us out the ‘reputation’ era. ‘reputation’ for me was about grieving the loss of your reputation and all of the phases you go through.
This song closes...
During the week ending September 7, 2019, “I Forgot That You Existed” peaked at #28 on the Hot 100.
So the album’s called Lover, it’s about all the facets of love that I find really interesting. Love is the broadest thing you could ever write about. And love, even when it’s good, has every facet of emotional complexity in it to write from. And so, coming from having released an album called reputa...
