"Karma" is three minutes and 24 seconds long. [22] It is an upbeat, synth-heavy, [23] disco, [24] electroclash, [25] synth-pop, [26] [27] and chillwave [28] song. Lyrically, it is a "diss track" [29] with comical tones. [30] The playful track incorporates warm beats, warbled synths, and elements of new wave, alternative pop, and techno. [31] [32] [33] In the lyrics, a narrator talks about her "good karma" that brought her good things in life. [34] [35] She does not seek revenge on her enemies and instead lets the universe takes its course; while karma makes her detractors suffer for their wrongdoings, it bolsters her for her good deeds. [36] In an interview with Apple Music, Swift said she wrote "Karma" from "a perspective of feeling really happy, really proud of the way your life is, feeling like this must be a reward for doing stuff right". [37] The remix features Ice Spice in a new second verse and interjections throughout the song. [38] In the new verse, Ice Spice raps about the destructive but also rewarding potential of karma.

"Karma" was written by Swift, Jack Antonoff, Mark Anthony Spears, Keanu Torres and Jahaan Akil Sweet. The song is set in common time with a tempo of 90 beats per minute, and is set in the key of E♭ mixolydian. [39]

Critical reception

Rolling Stone named it the fourth best song of 2022; they called it an "album-defining hit" that combines Swift's "mastermind" lyrics and the "sleekest, most flexible" production. [40] John Wohlmacher of Beats Per Minute hailed "Karma" as an "immediate masterpiece" and lauded the "bright and colorful" music. [28] American Songwriter listed it as one of the 24 best songs of 2022, and called it the "sleeper hit" of Midnights; praise was directed towards Swift's lyrical approach, the "effervescent" chorus, and Antonoff's production. [41] Rania Aniftos of Billboard praised the song's "carefree and anthemic" chorus. [42] In a mixed review of the remix, Shaad D'Souza of Pitchfork opined that the collaboration was a "clash of sensibilities" that diminished the appeal of the original version. He found that Ice Spice's delivery lacked the "velocity" of her previous remixes. [43] In contrast, Billboard [44] and USA Today named the remix one of the best songs of 2023. [45]

Upon the release of Midnights, all of the album's tracks entered the Billboard Global 200, with nine of those within the top 10; "Karma" debuted at number 10. The tracks set the record for the most simultaneous top-10 entries and made Swift the first artist to occupy the entire top five of the Global 200. [46]

In the United States, "Karma" debuted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. All of the album's 20 tracks debuted in the top 45 of the Hot 100, giving Swift a total of 188 Hot 100 entries. [47] Swift became the first act to occupy the entire top 10 of the Hot 100 concurrently and the woman with the most top-10 entries (40), surpassing Madonna (38). [48]

After it was sent to US radio, "Karma" marked the third consecutive top-10 entry on Adult Top 40 from Midnights, and Swift's 28th career entry, surpassing Maroon 5 for the all-time record. [49] It has since peaked atop the chart, marking Swift's record-tying 10th number one on Adult Top 40. [50] On other Billboard airplay charts, the song reached number one on Pop Airplay, marking Swift's record-tying 11th number-one on the chart, [51] and number nine on Adult Contemporary. [52] Following the release of the Ice Spice remix, "Karma" rose to new peaks on the Billboard Hot 100, Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales, and Radio Songs charts at number two, four, two, and 12, respectively; it would go on to peak at number five on the latter. The remix also marked Ice Spice's third career top-10 entry and highest-charting song, and made Midnights the first album since the Weeknd's After Hours (2020) to produce three top-two singles. [53] Ice Spice also became the artist with the most top-five Hot 100 entries in 2023, later surpassed by Swift herself. [54]

Swift directed the music video for "Karma". [72] She premiered it on May 26, 2023, at the first East Rutherford show of her Eras Tour (2023), where she was joined by Ice Spice as a surprise guest to perform the song. The video was released to YouTube on May 27. [73]

The video features heavy digital effects, incorporating "cosmic or celestial" imagery, and packed with Easter eggs recalling some of Swift's earlier albums. Swift adopts various attires and personifications, [73] in several locations. [72] For example, she appears as a comical "Dorothy" on a yellow brick road featured in a Wizard of Oz -themed storybook; as a woman dressed in turquoise, backed by an enormous photo of her cat Olivia curled up sleeping; and as a green "giantess" covered by forest and mountain, whereas Ice Spice is in a "heavenly cloud formation." [73] [72] Ice Spice delivers her rap verse from inside a golden clamshell. [74] [75] Swift and Ice Spice climb a staircase from opposite sides and lasso the Moon and Saturn, respectively; this was seen as a reference to a verse from Swift's song "Seven". The final scene shows Swift's hands carrying a cup of coffee, the surface of which shows a foam clock with hands jumping to midnight.

The video received positive reviews. Billboard journalist Katie Atkinson said "the video is packed with stunning visuals". [74] Jennifer Zahn of Vulture called it a "magic-heavy" music video. [75]
