Boasting lyrics about not caring what people think — which is so very Taylor Swift — the country-turned-pop star says in her verse I go on too many dates, but I can’t make them stay / At least that’s what people say, that’s what people say. But she then fires back with the pre-chorus I keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop moving / It’s like I got this music in my body and it’s gonna be alright before calling out the players and haters in her chorus. You go, girl!

The song’s music video also dropped, and it features Taylor taking on many dance personas (from ballet to breakdancing!). It totally pokes fun at Taylor and her persona.
