There's one telling line that alludes to Alwyn in this song. She sings that when they first met, he had a buzz cut and she had bleached hair, which was sometime around May 2016, when they reportedly met at the Met Gala. "Our secret moments in your crowded room" also alludes to the secret nature of their relationship before they went public. Like "Dancing With Our Hands Tied," it also references being close to each other but not being able to touch. Swift also makes another reference to them being together through her "worst times."
