Taylor Swift's Lyrics for 'Soon You'll Get Better' Are About Her Mom

Taylor Swift is providing some background for her new song “Soon You’ll Get Better” from Lover and she revealed it’s about her mom Andrea‘s battle with cancer.

The 29-year-old singer collaborated with the country music group Dixie Chicks for the emotional new song.

“That was really, really hard to write, and it was just a family decision whether to even put it on the album,” Taylor told fans about the song during her YouTube Live Stream. “We as a family decided to put this on the album, and it’s something I’m so proud of, but it’s just really hard. I can’t sing it. It’s hard to just emotionally deal with that song. You’ll understand what I mean in a couple hours.”

Taylor revealed to fans four years ago that her mom was battling cancer and then earlier this year, she opened up about how her mom is facing the disease again.

“And I hate to make this all about me / But who am I supposed to talk to? / What am I supposed to do? / If there’s no you,” Taylor sings on the track.
