Background edit

 
Swift wrote and produced "Clean" with the British musician Imogen Heap (pictured).

The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift had identified as a country artist until she released her fourth studio album, Red, in October 2012.[1] Although Swift and Big Machine Records promoted Red to country radio, some of its tracks feature styles of pop and rock, a result of Swift's desire to experiment with new styles.[2][3] This sparked a media debate over her status as a country artist.[4] In mid-2013, she began writing songs for her next studio album.[5]

Swift titled her fifth studio album after her birth year, 1989.[6] She decided to make it her first "official pop" record that would transform her image to a pop artist and move away from the country styles of her previous releases.[7][8] To this end, Swift recruited new producers including the British musician Imogen Heap, whom she called "one of the most interesting and unique artists".[9][10] "Clean" was one of the last tracks Swift wrote for 1989; she finished the lyrics and melody before approaching Heap to co-produce it.[9][11] Swift recalled that she was inspired to write "Clean" after spending two weeks in London: "it hit me that I'd been in the same city as [an ex-lover] for two weeks and I hadn't thought about it."[11]

Heap helped to complete the track by playing instruments, and they finished recording it after two takes in one day at The Hideaway Studio. The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and was mastered by Tom Coyne at Sterling Sound Studio in New York City.[9][12] In the third part of the listening session at Grammy Pro in 2015, Swift revealed that for the unique instrumentation of "Clean", Heap combined two of her unique instruments, the mbira, a thumb piano, and "then these things called boomwhackers, which are for the percussion."[13][14]

Composition edit

"Clean" is a soft rock and synth-folk ballad.[15][16] At four minutes and thirty seconds long,[12] the song progresses at a steady tempo.[17] Jem Aswad from Billboard believed that the electronic production was influenced by Heap's musical style.[18] It incorporates piano, keyboard, drums, mbira, vibraphone,[12] bass,[19] layered vocals,[20] and a groove that is built around percussion.[21] The Telegraph author Neil McCormick described "Clean" as "understated" and "atmospheric".[22] Hannah Mylrea from NME said the song has "chiming soft rock instrumentals",[20] while The Guardian's Alex Petridis wrote that it features "alternately pulsing and drifting electronics".[23]

The lyrics use imagery of a torrential storm to describe breaking from an addictive, toxic relationship.[22] At one point, Swift sings of a past relationship, "You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore."[22] She continues, "When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe / And by morning / Gone was any trace of you / I think I am finally clean."[24] The word clean is a metaphor with two meanings: clean as in the feeling of taking a shower and as in getting free from an addiction.[25]

Releases edit

1989 was released on October 27, 2014, via Big Machine Records. In the track-list, "Clean" is placed at number 13 as the closing track.[26] The song appeared on the Canadian Digital Song Sales chart upon release, with a peak of number 45.[27] In 2015, Swift included the song on the set list of the 1989 World Tour.[28] Before performing it, she would share lessons she had learned in her personal life with the audience.[29] In 2023, she performed the track as a "surprise song" on two dates of the Eras Tour: April 1 in Arlington, Texas, and May 28 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[30] The song also received platinum and silver certifications in 2023 from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)[31] and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), respectively.[32]

After signing a new contract with Republic Records, Swift began re-recording her first six studio albums in November 2020.[33] The decision followed a public 2019 dispute between Swift and talent manager Scooter Braun, who acquired Big Machine Records, including the masters of Swift's albums that the label had released.[34][35] By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine–owned masters.[36] The re-recording of "Clean", subtitled "Taylor's Version", was released as part of 1989's re-recording, 1989 (Taylor's Version), on October 27, 2023.[37] "Clean (Taylor's Version)" is a second longer than the original; Heap reprised her role as co-producer and player of instruments including vibraphone, percussion, kalimba, keyboard, and drums.[38][39]

The song reached the countries of the Philippines (13),[40] Singapore (26),[41] Canada (28),[42] and New Zealand (28).[43] In the United States, "Clean (Taylor's Version)" was a top-30 entry on the Billboard Hot 100, where it extended Swift's record for the most top-40 chart entries by a female artist.[44] Elsewhere, it appeared on the Billboard Global 200, Sweden's Heatseeker chart, and the United Kingdom's Audio Streaming Chart, with peaks of 25,[45] 17,[46] and 33,[47] respectively. The original version also charted at number 85 on Portugal's AFP Singles Chart following the album's release.[48]

Critical reception edit

A number of critics picked "Clean" as a highlight from 1989.[17][49][50] Forrest Wickman of Slate called the song "sad but ultimately hopeful" and thought it had similar themes to Swift's other closing tracks, such as "Begin Again" from Red.[51] Sam Lansky from Time picked the song as one of the tracks that demonstrates Swift's songwriting in "tight, evocative images".[52] Aswad from Billboard said "Clean" was an "aching, bittersweet" song and opined that Swift "surrenders to" Heap more than other collaborators on 1989.[18] Amy Pettifer of The Quietus deemed the lyrics "sparkling–sad and clever".[53] Sasha Geffen of Consequence called "Clean" a "bell-accounted number" and commended Swift's sentiment of finding strength through friendship.[49] In a less positive review, Matthew Horton of NME thought the song was "weepy" and considered it "a late collapse" on the album.[15]

In retrospective rankings, Billboard,[54] Paste,[55] Chris Willman of Variety,[25] Mylrea,[20] and Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone listed "Clean" among Swift's top 20 songs; Sheffield called it an "intense finale" for 1989.[16] Clash picked the track as one of Swift's 15 best songs—editor Sahar Ghadirian labeled the song a "masterclass in songwriting" and lauded its emotional sentiment as "empowering and validating".[56] Mary Kate Carr from The A.V. Club wrote that while there are "occasions when Swift's whimsical metaphors can become overwrought, but the fantastical imagery of the lyrics and the zen chime sounds" work on "Clean", which makes it "a perfect ode to set oneself free" that is aware enough to admit that "just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it".[57] Alex Hopper from American Songwriter viewed the song as a fan-favorite and commended how Swift opens up her struggles and ventures deep with her audience.[58]

Other usage edit

The singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson recalled that she loved "Clean" upon hearing it in Swift's apartment before 1989's release; Michaelson asked Swift to send the full song to her ahead of the album's release, but Swift declined.[59] On September 21, 2015, the American rock singer Ryan Adams recorded "Clean" for his track-by-track cover of Swift's 1989.[60] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club commented that it has a "sleeker" production.[61] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly opined that it "sounds like a polished evolution" of his alternative country band Whiskeytown.[62] On April 12, 2023, the American singer Kelly Clarkson sang a cover of "Clean" in The Kelly Clarkson Show.[63] Critics dubbed the performance as "emotional"[64] and "stunning"—Larisha Paul of Rolling Stone said that she maintains the song's "sense of rebirth and new beginnings".[65]

chiming soft rock instrumentals 20 while The Guardian s Alex Petridis wrote that it features alternately pulsing and drifting electronics 23 The lyrics use imagery of a torrential storm to describe breaking from an addictive toxic relationship 22 At one point Swift sings of a past relationship You re still all over me like a wine stained dress I can t wear anymore 22 She continues When I was drowning that s when I could finally breathe And by morning Gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean 24 The word clean is a metaphor with two meanings clean as in the feeling of taking a shower and as in getting free from an addiction 25 Releases edit1989 was released on October 27 2014 via Big Machine Records In the track list Clean is placed at number 13 as the closing track 26 The song appeared on the Canadian Digital Song Sales chart upon release with a peak of number 45 27 In 2015 Swift included the song on the set list of the 1989 World Tour 28 Before performing it she would share lessons she had learned in her personal life with the audience 29 In 2023 she performed the track as a surprise song on two dates of the Eras Tour April 1 in Arlington Texas and May 28 in East Rutherford New Jersey 30 The song also received platinum and silver certifications in 2023 from the Australian Recording Industry Association ARIA 31 and the British Phonographic Industry BPI respectively 32 After signing a new contract with Republic Records Swift began re recording her first six studio albums in November 2020 33 The decision followed a public 2019 dispute between Swift and talent manager Scooter Braun who acquired Big Machine Records including the masters of Swift s albums that the label had released 34 35 By re recording the albums Swift had full ownership of the new masters which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine owned masters 36 The re recording of Clean subtitled Taylor s Version was released as part of 1989 s re recording 1989 Taylor s Version on October 27 2023 37 Clean Taylor s Version is a second longer than the original Heap reprised her role as co producer and player of instruments including vibraphone percussion kalimba keyboard and drums 38 39 The song reached the countries of the Philippines 13 40 Singapore 26 41 Canada 28 42 and New Zealand 28 43 In the United States Clean Taylor s Version was a top 30 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 where it extended Swift s record for the most top 40 chart entries by a female artist 44 Elsewhere it appeared on the Billboard Global 200 Sweden s Heatseeker chart and the United Kingdom s Audio Streaming Chart with peaks of 25 45 17 46 and 33 47 respectively The original version also charted at number 85 on Portugal s AFP Singles Chart following the album s release 48 Critical reception editA number of critics picked Clean as a highlight from 1989 17 49 50 Forrest Wickman of Slate called the song sad but ultimately hopeful and thought it had similar themes to Swift s other closing tracks such as Begin Again from Red 51 Sam Lansky from Time picked the song as one of the tracks that demonstrates Swift s songwriting in tight evocative images 52 Aswad from Billboard said Clean was an aching bittersweet song and opined that Swift surrenders to Heap more than other collaborators on 1989 18 Amy Pettifer of The Quietus deemed the lyrics sparkling sad and clever 53 Sasha Geffen of Consequence called Clean a bell accounted number and commended Swift s sentiment of finding strength through friendship 49 In a less positive review Matthew Horton of NME thought the song was weepy and considered it a late collapse on the album 15 In retrospective rankings Billboard 54 Paste 55 Chris Willman of Variety 25 Mylrea 20 and Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone listed Clean among Swift s top 20 songs Sheffield called it an intense finale for 1989 16 Clash picked the track as one of Swift s 15 best songs editor Sahar Ghadirian labeled the song a masterclass in songwriting and lauded its emotional sentiment as empowering and validating 56 Mary Kate Carr from The A V Club wrote that while there are occasions when Swift s whimsical metaphors can become overwrought but the fantastical imagery of the lyrics and the zen chime sounds work on Clean which makes it a perfect ode to set oneself free that is aware enough to admit that just because you re clean don t mean you don t miss it 57 Alex Hopper from American Songwriter viewed the song as a fan favorite and commended how Swift opens up her struggles and ventures deep with her audience 58 Other usage editThe singer songwriter Ingrid Michaelson recalled that she loved Clean upon hearing it in Swift s apartment before 1989 s release Michaelson asked Swift to send the full song to her ahead of the album s release but Swift declined 59 On September 21 2015 the American rock singer Ryan Adams recorded Clean for his track by track cover of Swift s 1989 60 Annie Zaleski of The A V Club commented that it has a sleeker production 61 Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly opined that it sounds like a polished evolution of his alternative country band Whiskeytown 62 On April 12 2023 the American singer Kelly Clarkson sang a cover of Clean in The Kelly Clarkson Show 63 Critics dubbed the performance as emotional 64 and stunning Larisha Paul of Rolling Stone said that she maintains the song s sense of rebirth and new beginnings 65 Personnel edit Clean 2014 12 Taylor Swift vocals background vocals songwriter producer Imogen Heap producer
