After much anticipation, Taylor Swift has finally released her new album's title track. The singer unleashed "Lover" at midnight Thursday night (Aug. 15) and also revealed that fans can expect the song's music video to arrive next week.   

The track is an old-school ballad with a booming snare, keys and a wholesome '60s vibe. Tay opens the song, "We can leave the Christmas lights up 'till January. This is our place, we made the rules."
