Comments

" a midtempo indie ballad, " sea of blue.
" in Windermere, the largest lake " natural lake.
"has ever penned" written.
"and UK Downloads" that's not it's formal name, it's "UK Singles Downloads Chart"
"Kitty Committee Studio (Los Angeles)" is mentioned (unref) in the infobox and nowhere else.
As is "Rough Customer Studio (New York City)".
Both of them are sourced in the album's liner notes, as stated in Personnel. BawinV (talk) 08:23, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Length of 3:47 is in infobox but nowhere else with no citation.
"would come out at midnight" that same day.  And how did she announce it?
"Swift as imageries and visuals subconsciously" whaaaat?  Let's try to keep it encyclopedic.
" songs on folklore, "The " overlinked, and you need to be consistent about formatting that album title.
"An aerial view..." that's a fragment, no full stop.
"ballad[12] driven" gah, move that ref.
" D3 to F♯4" links.
"moderate tempo of" link.
"located in the Lake District of the country." not "of the country".
"around to tweet it"," you link tweet here, but not before, do it first time.
"settings,[16][17][18][4] getting" ref order.
"like the Lake Poets did.[19][13]" ref order, and probably no need for "did".
Lots of "X of Y", you could mix it up a bit with "X writing in Y" or "Y's writer, X..." just to prevent the dozen or so "X of Y" you currently have.
"the UK Downloads charts" use the real name.
There's no ref here.
Refs 13, 29, 41: spaced hyphen should be spaced en-dash.
That's my lot for the moment. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

 Done all. BawinV (talk) 08:23, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Should the single date now be the 2021 original version release or the 2022 RSD release? TheCartoonEditor(he/him/they) (talk) (contribs) 20:47, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I think it's best we stick with the older date since that's when it became a promotional single on Swift's own website. This vinyl release is a charity shopping-day exclusive, not a promotional activity of her label. ℛonherry☘ 21:08, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I apologize if this has already been discussed, but doesn't this song having a commercial release make it a single? Tree Critter (talk) 10:53, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Check WP:SINGLE?. It would be a single if Swift had sold it on her website for at least a week or so. But no, this is a limited-edition vinyl-only (no CDs) that is only available in indie record shops on April 23 only as part of her ambassadorship with an organization's charity event. Such limited releases with nuanced availability are NOT singles according to the criteria. ℛonherry☘ 12:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
