Wildest Dreams

"Wildest Dreams" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift as the fifth single from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). Big Machine Records in partnership with Republic Records released to radio on August 31, 2015. Written and produced by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, "Wildest Dreams" has an atmospheric, balladic production incorporating programmed drums, Mellotron-generated and live strings, and synthesizers; the rhythm interpolates Swift's heartbeat. Critics described it as synth-pop, dream pop, and electropop.
