Anti-Hero (song)

"Anti-Hero" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and the lead single from her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). She wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff. It is a pop rock, synth-pop, electro, and electropop track, driven by a 1980s-inspired drum loop generated with a LinnDrum and retro synthesizers. Inspired by Swift's insecurities, the lyrics are about self-loathing and the impact of fame on her wellbeing. In the bridge, she narrates a nightmare about her daughter-in-law murdering her to inherit the will. Republic Records released the song for download and streaming on October 21, 2022.
