Me!

"Me!" (stylized in all caps) is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift featuring Brendon Urie of the American band Panic! at the Disco. It was released on April 26, 2019, as the lead single from Swift's seventh studio album, Lover, by Republic Records. Written by Urie, Swift, and Joel Little, and produced by the latter two, "Me!" is an upbeat bubblegum pop and synth-pop track driven by a marching band drumline. It is about embracing one's individuality, self-affirmation, and self-love.
Music critics described the production as cheery or campy; they either found the track catchy and tongue-in-cheek or deemed it immature and cloying. On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, "Me!" debuted at number 100 and jumped to number two the next week, breaking the record for the biggest single-week jump in the chart's history. The single was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It reached number one in Ecuador, Hungary, and Nicaragua, as well as the top ten in many territories and received platinum or higher certifications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, Poland, and the United Kingdom.
