How You Get the Girl

"How You Get the Girl" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). It was written by Swift and its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. An electropop and bubblegum pop track, "How You Get the Girl" is about a woman giving her ex-boyfriend a guide on how to get back together after their breakup.

Critics praised the song's production and melody as catchy, although some of them criticized its theme as immature. The track charted in Canada and on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in the United States. "How You Get the Girl" was used in a Diet Coke commercial and was part of the set list of the 1989 World Tour (2015), with a choreography inspired by the musical film Singin' in the Rain (1952). Swift performed the song in selected shows on the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018) and the Eras Tour (2023–2024).

Following a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of Swift's back catalog, Swift re-recorded the song as "How You Get the Girl (Taylor's Version)" for her fourth re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023). Produced by Swift and Christopher Rowe, the re-recording was received positively for its sonic similarity to its original counterpart alongside Swift's matured vocals. It peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 40 on the national charts of Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.
