Maroon (song)

"Maroon" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth original studio album, Midnights (2022). Swift wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff. The lyrics use different shades of red such as maroon, burgundy, and scarlet to describe the haunting memories of a long-gone romance in New York. Musically, "Maroon" is a ballad combining dream pop, synth-pop, electropop, and trip hop. It has an ambient production consisting of reverbed layered vocals, trap beats, and an oscillating electric guitar that creates a sustained note throughout the track.

Several music critics who picked "Maroon" as a highlight on Midnights complimented the production and deemed the lyrics evocative, but some others found both the theme and sound derivative. "Maroon" peaked at number four on the Billboard Global 200 and charted within the top 10 on the charts in Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the US. The song received certifications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and the UK. Swift occasionally performed "Maroon" on her sixth headlining tour, the Eras Tour, in 2023 and 2024.
