"Soon You'll Get Better" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift featuring the American country band the Dixie Chicks.[a] Swift and Jack Antonoff wrote and produced the song for the former's seventh studio album, Lover (2019). "Soon You'll Get Better" is a country ballad featuring slide guitar, banjo, and fiddle alongside vocal harmonies. The lyrics were inspired by Swift's parents' cancer diagnoses.

Music critics acclaimed the vulnerable songwriting of "Soon You'll Get Better" and deemed Swift's vocals emotional; they compared the tone of the song to prayers and lullabies. The track peaked at number 63 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and marked the Dixie Chicks' first Hot Country Songs entry in 13 years. It also entered the singles charts of Australia, Canada, and Scotland. It was certified gold in Australia and Brazil. On April 18, 2020, Swift performed a solo piano rendition of the song as part of the One World: Together at Home livestream charity event.
