While by Taylor Swift 10 Minute Version of “All Too Well” attract the most attention of her new Red re-recording “From the Vault”, the singer is giving the right attention to another track, “I Bet You Think About Me”, which was not originally on the album. The song is filled with cheeky jabs at an ex — it seems Jake Gyllenhaal, the subject of “All Too Well,” whom Swift dated for three months in 2010. On Sunday, Swift announced she would be releasing a music video for the track on Monday morning.
In the song itself, Gyllenhaal has some pretty overt lyrical lines. Lines like “You grew up in a silver spoon community / Glamorous, flashy, vibrant Beverly Hills” (Gyllenhaal was born into an industrial family; his father was director Stephen Gyllenhaal) and “I bet is you thinking of me when you’re out / At your cool indie concerts every week”, aim for Gyllenhaal’s lifestyle. (Swift referenced Gyllenhaal’s taste in music in “We’ll never get back together,” another track is also said to be about him: “I will really miss you fighting / And I’m frustrated by it, screaming that I’m right / And you’ll run away and find your peace of mind / With some indie discs that’s better than mine. “)
The Swifties see the song as an obvious Gyllenhaal track, and they had plenty of jokes to say about it when the song came out on Friday:

Swift spoke in 2011 about the meaning of the song. Billboards pointed out that Country 102.5 radio shared an audio clip of Swift talking about creating “I Bet You Think About Me” to celebrate Redreissue.
Swift said of the song, “This is a song I wrote with Lori McKenna, one of my favorite singer-songwriters ever. I’ve always wanted to work with her… I wrote this with her at her house while I was playing Foxboro [Gillette Stadium] on the Talk Now Tour. We wanted this song to sound like a funny, funny song that didn’t care what anyone thought of you. Red– some of them are so sincere, some of them are very stoic and heartbreaking and sad – we want this to be the moment where you’re like, ‘I don’t care about anything. ‘ We wanted to make people laugh with it, and we wanted it to be like a drinking song. I think that’s what it ended up with. “

Verse 1: Taylor Swift
3 am and I’m awake, I bet you’re fine
Sleeping soundly in your city is better than mine
And the girl in your bed has a good pedigree
And I bet your friends will tell you she’s better than me, huhVerse 2: Taylor Swift
Well, I tried to blend in with the circles on your shell
Yeah, they let me sit when we fell in love
Oh, they sit and talk about the meaning of life
And the book that just saved them that I’ve never heard ofChoir: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
But now we’re done and it’s over
I bet you can’t believe it
When you realize that I’m harder to forget than I have to leave
And I bet you think of meVerse 3: Taylor Swift
You grew up in a community with silver spoons
Beverly Hills is glamorous, shiny, bright
I grew up on a farm, no, it’s not a mansion
Just live the ‘dancin room’ and the kitchen table billVerse 4: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
But you know what they say, you can’t help but love someone
And you and I fall like the first snow of spring
But reality creeps in, you say we’re too different
You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokesChoir: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
Mr. Superior Thinkin’
Do you have all the space you need?
I don’t have to be your little one to know that you’ll never be happy
And I bet you think of meAfter Chorus: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
I bet you think about Me: Yes
I bet you think of meBridge: Taylor Swift & Chris Stapleton
Oh, it’s all blocked
Very loud voice, sayin’
“Why did you let her go?”
Does it make you feel sad?
It’s the love you’ve been looking for
Is the love you had?Question 5: Taylor Swift
Now that you are out of the world, search ‘for your soul’
Afraid of not being hip, afraid of getting old.
Pursuing a state of trust, the last time you feel free
Is when it doesn’t matter because you were with meChoir: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
But now we’re done and it’s over
I bet it’s hard to believe
But it turns out I’m harder to forget than to leave
And great, I bet you think of meAfter Chorus: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
I bet you think about Me: Yes
I bet you think of meOutro: Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton
I bet you’ll think of me when you’re out
At yours Exciting indie concerts every week
I bet you think of me in your house
With your organic shoes and your million dollar couch
I bet you will think of me when you say
“Oh my, she lost her mind, she wrote a song about me”
I bet you think of me
