This mournful ballad was the only time on 1989 that Taylor collaborated with Nathan Chapman, the main producer of her first four albums.
Asked by Pop Crush which of her 1989 tracks does she listen to the most on her iPod, Taylor replied: "I think the one that I kept going back to, over and over and over again, is a song called 'This Love,' actually. It's a song that I wrote by myself. It's kind of like hypnotic in a way, and it kind of is somewhat romantic and wistful and relaxing."
According to a copy of Swift's diary included with the Target deluxe editions of Lover, the first draft of "This Love" was written on October 17, 2012. That was five days before her previous album, Red, hit the shelves.
