Swift dedicates the heartbreaking tune, “Soon You’ll Get Better,” to her mother, Andrea, who was diagnosed with cancer in April 2015 then re-diagnosed in March 2019.
In a piece for Elle Magazine, Taylor wrote:
My mom’s cancer has taught me that there are real problems and then there’s everything else. My mom’s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. I give all of my worry, stress, and prayers to real problems now.
In her Lover’s Lounge on YouTube the night before the release of Lover, Taylor also admitted that this song was the most difficult song on the entire album for her to write:
There’s a song called ‘Soon You’ll Get Better’ on Lover that was really really hard to write, and it was also a family decision whether to even put it on the album. And I think songs like that that are really hard for you to write emotionally, maybe they are really hard to write and hard to sing because they are really true.
Knowing how close Taylor is with her mother, it’s no surprise she decided to devote a track for one of her closest companions in her life.
Lyrics
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair In doctor's office lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared That was the first time we were there Holy orange bottles, each night, I pray to you Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too And I say to you...
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Dixie Chicks]
Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah You'll get better soon 'Cause you have to
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]
I know delusion when I see it in the mirror You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal I just pretend it isn't real I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try And I say to you...
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Dixie Chicks]
Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah You'll get better soon 'Cause you have to
[Bridge: Taylor Swift & Dixie Chicks]
And I hate to make this all about me But who am I supposed to talk to? What am I supposed to do If there's no you?
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
This won't go back to normal, if it ever was It's been years of hoping, and I keep saying it because 'Cause I have to
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Dixie Chicks]
Ooh-ah You'll get better Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah You'll get better soon Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah Soon, you'll get better Ooh-ah You'll get better soon 'Cause you have to
