Pop music royalty and human content mine Taylor Swift released two new songs today as part of the Spotify Singles series. The first one is “Delicate,” a tender live version of the track from her latest album, Reputation. It’s a lovelorn and classically defensive Swift song, reminding you that she is still a gentle flower looking for love. That’s not what this is about, though. As part of the Spotify Singles series, artists who participate turn in an original song and a cover song. For Taylor, the natural choice was to make a soft, acoustic cover of… Earth Wind & Fire’s “September.”
“September” by Earth Wind & Fire is a classic—truly an all-time-best record. Exciting, groovy arena funk, the 1978 recording has stood the test of time by being, in the words of co-writer Allee Willis, “the happiest-sounding song in the world.” It’s a perfect fit for weddings, cookouts, reunions, or just a night out at a bar. Everything you need to know about the song can be summed up in a fight Willis had with co-writer and lead singer Maurice White over the repeating of the nonsense lyric “ba-dee-ya.” “What the fuck does ‘ba-dee-ya’ mean?” Willis asked White, to which he responded, “Who the fuck cares?” This prompted Willis to later reflect, “I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove.”

Taylor Swift tallies her first No. 1 from her 2017 album reputation on Billboard's Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart, as "Delicate" ascends 3-1 on the survey dated July 7. Lead reputation radio single "Look What You Made Me Do" hit No. 7 on Adult Pop Songs last October. Follow-ups "…Ready for It?" and "End Game," featuring Ed Sheeran and Future, reached Nos. 10 and 13, respectively. "Delicate" is Swift's seventh total Adult Pop Songs No. 1, the fourth-best sum since the list launched in Billboard magazine in 1996. Maroon 5 leads with 12 No. 1s, followed by P!nk (nine) and Katy Perry (eight).
