Maroon (song)

"Maroon" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth original studio album, Midnights (2022). Written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, the lyrics contain references to different shades of red such as maroon, burgundy, and scarlet in order to describe the haunting memories of a long-gone relationship set in New York. Musically, "Maroon" is a ballad combining dream pop, synth-pop, and trip hop. Its ambient production consists of reverbed layered vocals, trap beats, and an oscillating electric guitar creating a sustained note throughout the track.

Some music critics complimented the production and deemed the lyrics evocative, but others found both the theme and sound derivative. "Maroon" peaked at number four on the Billboard Global 200, number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, and charted within the top ten in Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, and the Philippines. The song received certifications in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Swift occasionally performed "Maroon" on her sixth headlining tour, the Eras Tour, in 2023 and 2024.
