About my tears ricochet

"My Tears Ricochet" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It is the fifth track on Swift's eighth studio album, Folklore (2020), which was released on July 24, 2020, through Republic Records. The track was produced by Swift, Jack Antonoff and Joe Alwyn.

Incorporating choir-inflected layered vocals, mellow synths and shuddering drums, "My Tears Ricochet" has been described as a "haunting" tune that blends rock, goth, arena rock and gospel music. Its lyrics are a narration by the ghost of a dead woman, which finds its murderer, who she once loved dearly, at its own funeral. This dynamic is a metaphor for Swift's feelings of resentment and betrayal towards her former record label's founder, Scott Borchetta, who sold the masters of her back catalog to Scooter Braun. Critics received "My Tears Ricochet" with rave reviews, praising the song's concept, imagery, emotion, vocals and production. Upon Folklore's release, "My Tears Ricochet" debuted inside the top 10 of the singles charts in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, and in the top 20 of the Canadian Hot 100 and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
