Taylor Swift has officially confirmed being part of Disney and Pixar’s upcoming animated movie “Toy Story 5” announcing a new original song named “I Know It, I Knew You.”

The song is set to release on Friday, June 5.

The news was confirmed by the American singer on June 1 via the countdown clock on her website. It features Jessie the cowgirl riding a horse and vibing.

Swift also shared on Instagram, writing: “I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5-year-old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening.”

“You can pre-order now exclusively on my site and catch Toy Story 5 in theatres June 19th,” she added.

The song was produced in collaboration with her usual partner, Jack Antonoff, after a long gap since the duo's last creation, The Tortured Poets Department, in 2024. 

As per an official statement, the song is based on Jessie, the name of a cowgirl voiced by Joan Cusack, and Swift is planning to go back to her country music days.

Special CD singles for the song in three versions have been arranged – normal, piano, and acoustic.
