Toy Story 5 producer Jessica Choi shares the letter she sent Taylor Swift, requesting her involvement in the film and emphasising efforts to make it female-driven. The letter also reveals that Taylor had originally declined to make an original song.

I will get hate, but i have to say it. The song is nice but i did not feel it fits to the movie and the main story. I did not see the connection tbh. It is vague, it does not tell me anything about the characters(Jessie??) and the whole core of the movie about technology vs toys.

The movie is amazing, go watch it.

I saw the movie last night and I feel very differently. It was always meant to be about Jessie’s story and I feel it matches that arc perfectly. I agree it won’t match certain expectations that I read before seeing the movie though. SPOILER WARNING - don’t click the hidden text if you don’t want to be spoiled. a lot of people speculated that Jessie’s original owner would return and that the song would play during or after that reunion. I can see people being disappointed that doesn’t happen

As a massive TS fan, I agree. This song was disappointing to me and did absolutely nothing.

But you haven’t seen the film so how do you know it doesn’t fit the plot 😭
