About Cornelia Street

"Cornelia Street" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, taken from her seventh studio album Lover, which was released on August 23, 2019, through Republic Records. Swift produced the song with Jack Antonoff, and was the sole writer. The title of the song refers to a street in the New York neighborhood Greenwich Village, where Swift had rented a townhouse.

Swift stated that "Cornelia Street" was one of the most personal songs on Lover. The song's lyrics are about Swift pleading to never let her love interest go, after having shared the ups and downs during the course of their relationship. The electropop and synth-pop song is instrumented by a flute-like keyboard line, a delicate piano, and a fluttering synthesizer. Music critics lauded Swift's narrative lyricism in "Cornelia Street" and its sentimental production, with some picking it as an album highlight. The song was included in Uproxx's list of the best songs of 2019. Upon the parent album's release, "Cornelia Street" entered and peaked on the singles chart of Australia (number 40), the Canadian Hot 100 (number 51), and the US Billboard Hot 100 (number 57). A live version of the song, recorded at the City of Lover concert in Paris in September 2019, was released on digital platforms on May 18, 2020.
