Question of the day: Are we out of the woods?
Taylor Swift released another song from her upcoming pop album 1989 on Monday -- a hypnotic, dramatic and echoey tune entitled "Out of the Woods."
Cowritten by fun.'s lead guitarist Jack Antonoff, the song may be a departure in genre for Swift, but it still focuses on the singer's favorite subject matter for lyrics: relationships. The song, which many fans believe is about One Direction's Harry Styles (they cite a recent Rolling Stone interview as proof), mentions the difficult ups and downs of dating, from Polaroid picture-taking to furniture moving to a dramatic snowmobile accident that landed Swift in the hospital.
Swift, who has been teasing the song on social media all week, will continue to release a new song each week in the lead-up to her album release on Oct. 27. She also promised to release lyrics from future songs for the next 13 days.

For the next 13 days leading up to 1989, I'll be posting one lyric from each of the 13 tracks each day. #1989— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) October 14, 2014
Swift told USA Today that the song may never be a single from her album, but she was eager to release it because "it's the greatest example of the sound of this album."
"Out of the Woods" already reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes on Tuesday morning.
