Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
💬 | Shakira names Taylor Swift as Her Dream Collaboration
“She is very, very intelligent, and her head is in the right place. Collaborating with her would be a dream!”
Don’t dilute Taylor’s records like that ever again.
Taylor *simultaneously* occupied the ENTIRE top 10 with Midnights, the ENTIRE top 12 with Showgirl, and the ENTIRE top 14 with TTPD.
All her songs had to PUSH OUT the #1 song *completely* out of the Top 10. All her songs had to do 330+ points. Each. Even the “lowest” song had to be THAT big.
This right here is different. Let’s not blur the lines between ACTUAL, historic records (Taylor’s) vs. khia records with all these qualifiers and bends and caveats and extrapolations.
To give a perspective, an artist can, in separate months, scatter-release ten or more mini/moderate-hit songs all merely reaching a cute #10, and they would snatch this so-called “record”.
On the other hand, Taylor sweeping the *entire* Top 10 (and more) *simultaneously* is a league of its own, and it’s a reflection of people’s obsession with group project-izing everything with Taylor that something this obvious even has to be emphasized.
Break the *actual* record or not. It really is just that simple.
In 2014, Taylor Swift removed her music from Spotify over low pay, staying off for 3 years until 2017, she said
“I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that doesn’t fairly compensate artists.”
Fast forward to 2026, she’s its most-streamed artist ever.
