On August 28, 2022, the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift announced her tenth studio album at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards; she soon revealed the album's title, Midnights , and its cover on social networks but the track-list was not revealed. [1] Swift's longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, who had worked with her since her fifth studio album 1989 (2014), was confirmed as a producer on the album by a video posted to her Instagram account on September 16, titled "The making of Midnights". [2]

On September 21, Swift began unveiling the album's track-list in a randomized order through a short 13-episode video series on TikTok, titled Midnights Mayhem with Me. [3] In each episode, Swift rolls a lottery cage containing 13 ping pong balls numbered from one to thirteen, each representing a track of Midnights, and when a ball drops out, she announces the title of the corresponding track on the album through a telephone. [4] [5] [6] In the final episode on October 7, Swift announced the fourth track, "Snow on the Beach", and that it features the American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, whom Swift had previously named as one of her favorite music artists. [3] [7]

Production and lyrics

Swift, Antonoff, and Del Rey wrote "Snow on the Beach", and the first two produced the track. It was recorded by Antonoff and Laura Sisk at Rough Customer Studio in Brooklyn, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The instruments were recorded at Blue Plate Records in Haworth, New Jersey, and Pleasure Hill Recording in Portland, Maine.

"Snow on the Beach" is a dream pop tune that runs for 4 minutes and 16 seconds. [9] [10] Its midtempo production [11] contains twinkling synths, strummed violin, [12] [13] chimes, and heavily reverberated bass. [14] Mellisa Ruggieri of USA Today and John Wohlmacher of Beats Per Minute compared its use of bells and plucked strings to holiday music. [12] [15] Del Rey's vocals on the track are minimal and harmonize with Swift's. [14] Various critics deemed the production of the track wintery, [note 1] which Melissa Ruggieri from USA Today compared to The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town" (1985). [12] Hannah Mylrea of NME said the song veers towards the indie folk of Swift's 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore . [19] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone likened "Snow on the Beach" to the Folklore track "Mirrorball", because she thought it had a similar dream pop production. [9] Wohlmacher wrote that the track incorporates classical elements and believed it resembles the work of the American composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich. [15]

Lyrically, "Snow on the Beach" is a love song about two people falling in love at the same time. On the track's meaning, Swift said that it is a "sort of in this sort of cataclysmic, fated moment where you realize someone feels exactly the same way that you feel" and she compared the rarity of love to a natural phenomenon of snowing on a beach. [7] The first verse begins with Swift discovering that unforeseen love, which Seventeen 's Samantha Olson thought it was done in a similar way to "Long Story Short" (2020). [20] [21] The chorus sees her in a dream-like state and questions it when everything lines up in her new-found relationship; [21] it is also where she is joined by Del Rey. [20] In the second verse, Swift compares the love to something from a movie or watching the aurora borealis. [20] The bridge sees Swift thinking that the love is too good for her and does not want to reveal it to the public. [21] It is also where she references Janet Jackson and her song "All for You" (2001): "Now I'm all for you like Janet/ Can this be a real thing, can it?". [22] [23]

Release and promotion

"Snow on the Beach", along with the rest of Midnights, was released on October 22, 2022, by Republic Records. [10] The collaboration between Swift and Del Rey was highly anticipated during the album's lead-up. [24] [25] When it was released, fans and journalists alike questioned the nature of Del Rey's vocal contribution to the track. They thought that Del Rey acted as more of a background vocalist for Swift, [26] [27] deemed as almost indistinguishable from Swift's own vocals by some publications, [12] [28] which surprised fans that expected a duet. [24] In an interview with Billboard , Del Rey stated that she "had no idea [she] was the only feature" on the album and "would have sung the entire second verse like [Swift] wanted" if she had known. She went on to say that she was "more focused on the production" of the song than the vocals. [29] In another interview with Harper's Bazaar , Del Rey said she was "all over" on the track: "I layer and match [Swift's] vocals perfectly". She added that the song was "perfect" and stated that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". [30]

In response to the reception of the track, [31] a version of the song featuring "More Lana Del Rey" was released as part of The Til Dawn Edition of Midnights on May 26, 2023. [32] The "More Lana" version is 3 minutes and 50 seconds, and on it, Del Rey sings the entire second verse. [32] [33] After Midnights was released, Swift embarked on her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour in March 2023, and it contained a segment of "surprise songs" where she performs random songs from her discography. On March 24, Swift sang "Snow on the Beach" as a "surprise song" at the first show in Las Vegas, as part of the tour. She sang it again at the second show in Mexico City on August 25. [34]

An instrumental strings version of "Snow of the Beach" was used in the third season of the American romance series Bridgerton , released in May 2024. [35]

Critical reception

In reviews of Midnights, "Snow on the Beach" received mixed reviews from critics. Those who were more positive of the song praised its lyrics and production. Ruggieri praised the song's "aching beauty and inherent melancholy". [12] Mike DeWald of Riff Magazine deemed the track's production "ethereal" [11] and Paul Attard of Slant Magazine lauded the "exquisite" composition. [14] Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield called the track a "gorgeous ballad". [61] Chris Willman of Variety and John Murphy of MusicOMH noted the minimal vocals from Del Rey, but nonetheless praised her contributions. [27] [28] Under the Radar 's Andy Von Pop described "Snow on the Beach" as a "beautiful love song" and opined that the subtlety of the track is more sophisticated than works by Swift's peers. [62] Gigwise 's Lucy Harbron directed acclaim towards the "heavenly harmonies" and the lyrics in its "deepest, rawest form". [63] Likewise, Mikael Wood for the Los Angeles Times deemed the song's imagery the album's most affecting. [64] The Daily Telegraph 's Neil McCormick described the song as "sonically adventurous". [65] Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic cited the song as an example of Antonoff's musical style that does not make Midnights a repetitive album. [66] John Wohlmacher of Beats Per Minute wrote that Del Rey's vocals added a "subtle shade of melancholia" to contrast the happiness of the lyrics. [15]

Critics deemed Del Rey's contribution on "Snow on the Beach" underwhelming [note 2] —Spanos named the song "the only true disappointment" on Midnights because she thought it was not a "true duet" between Swift and Del Rey. [9] In a more complimentive review, The Guardian music journalist Alexis Petridis said it was far from a "grandstanding summit" between them but nonetheless applauded their "restrained" collaboration and thought it was "beautifully done". [69] Though acknowledging the song as "poetic" and "pretty", the Associated Press' Elise Ryan wrote that the emotional depth of the song did not live up to Swift and Del Rey's potential. [25] Rick Quinn of PopMatters praised the "quiet beauty and arresting imagery" of the track, but nonetheless opined that it leaves the listener wanting more from the collaboration. [70] Some aspects of the production also received mixed reviews: Jon Caramanica for The New York Times commended Del Rey's vocals on the track, but believed that Swift's vocals were too "cheery" for the track to ascend, [16] and Insider 's Callie Ahlgrim and Courteney Larocca thought the production was unnecessarily wintry and regarded the track as "background music". [17] The A.V. Club 's Saloni Gajjar labeled "Snow on the Beach" one of Midnights' "glaring misfits". [18]
