Ready to have another Taylor Swift song stuck in your head for weeks at a time?

The singer has shaken off criticism of her cat and released "Out of the Woods," her second single off the upcoming album 1989, which will be available on October 27.

And while Swift’s initial album release (the very, very, very catchy "Shake It Off") addressed her critics, "Out of the Woods" turns her attention back to Taylor’s favorite single-writing subject:

MEN.

 

"This was a relationship where I was kind of, living day to day, wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day,” Taylor previously told JustJared of the song.

“It was a relationship where you, kind of, never feel like you’re standing on solid ground."

Now, of course, Taylor Swift is single and appears to be quite okay with that.

Listen to the new track above and check out the lyrics to "Out of the Woods" below:

Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking…

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good.

Looking at it now
Last December, we were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn’t quite forget
When we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying…
And I remember thinking

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
When you started crying
Baby, I did too
But when the sun came up
I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn’t take the heat
I walked out, I said “I’m setting you free”
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up
You were looking at me.
