Contemplating if she wants reconciliation or revenge, Taylor sings, \u201cWhether I\u2019m gonna be your wife, or\/Gonna smash up your bike, I haven\u2019t decided yet\/But I\u2019m gonna get you back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continues, \u201cWhether I\u2019m gonna curse you out, or\/Take you back to my house, I haven\u2019t decid\u0435d yet\/But I\u2019m gonna get you back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor reminds her unnamed ex throughout the track that they were always hers, admitting that she knows they \u201cthink twice\u201d about her.

Taylor and Matty started their own game of cat and mouse in 2014, and he dedicated a song by his band, The 1975, to her entitled \u201cfallingforyou\u201d that same year.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has the title format tipped fans off, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/matty-healys-dating-history-singers-girlfriends-exes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the dynamic Taylor and Matty shared<\/a> was nothing if not conflicted. While the <em>TTPD<\/em> creator has stayed relatively quiet about their fling \u2013 letting her music do the talking \u2013 Matty has been more vocal about his feelings towards Taylor and her level of international fame.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the release of her double album anthology, which seemingly pointed to the 1975 frontman in more tracks than Swifties anticipated, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/matty-healy-was-relieved-when-he-heard-taylor-swifts-ttpd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a source close to Matty told <em>Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> that he was \u201crelieved\u201d that Taylor didn\u2019t use all the poison in her pen against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMatty still thinks very highly of Taylor but we were all nervous about what she might have said on the album,\u201d the source said. \u201cMatty\u2019s family knew about the relationship, and they were worried that Taylor was going to rip him apart.
