Swift dedicates this heartbreaking tune to her mother, Andrea, who was diagnosed with cancer in April 2015, then re-diagnosed some time in 2018. Swift previously spoke about her mother’s illness in a March 2019 piece for Elle Magazine, calling it a “real problem” she needs to prioritize.

[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor's office lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there
Holy orange bottles, each night, I pray to you
Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too
And I say to you
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & The Chicks]
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]
I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal
I just pretend it isn't real
I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky
I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try
And I say to you
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & The Chicks]
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
[Bridge: Taylor Swift & The Chicks]
And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to?
What am I supposed to do
If there's no you?
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
This won't go back to normal, if it ever was
It's been years of hoping and I keep saying it because
'Cause I have to
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & The Chicks]
Ooh-ah
You'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to

On her Lover’s Lounge livestream prior to the album release, Swift said,
There’s a song called Soon You’ll Get Better that was really really hard to write, and it was also a family decision whether to even put it on the album. And I think songs like that that are really hard for you to write emotio...
During the week ending September 7, 2019, “Soon You’ll Get Better” peaked at #63 on the Hot 100.
Yes, she performed the song for the first time on the telecast concert “One World: Together at Home”, a concert series organized by Global Citizen in support of the World Health Organization.
This song is one that was hard to write, because it’s something that I’m going through right now. My dad got cancer when was 13 and he got better, and it wasn’t a very long process, but things with my mom have been very different. This song is special in a lot of ways because when I wrote this one,...
