"The Alchemy" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024). Swift wrote and produced the track with Jack Antonoff. A pop rock track with R&B influences, "The Alchemy" uses extensive football imagery to describe a burgeoning romance after going through heartbreak.
Some critics deemed the football imagery and metaphors weak, but some others praised the production elements. "The Alchemy" peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 25 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.
