The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
We no don't need a label
What we got is sexy
If you like it, I love it
You let me in, you told me to come back again
You into me, I'm into you,
That's all that matters, girl it's beautiful
You're so sweet like candy, you're so sweet like candy
What we got, what we got, so so sweet like candy
With no label on it, with no label on it
What we got, what we got, let's make it up as we go
Don't stop the party, it's just getting started
Make it up as we go, I know you want it
