Taylor Swift's Cruel Summer has returned to the UK charts four years after we first heard it.
The song's popularity boom and decision to be re-released as a single were attributed by the singer to her fans.
The song, which is from her 2019 album Lover, initially peaked at number 27 in the top 40.
Although it re-entered last week at position 28, it is anticipated to move up when the most recent chart positions are later made public.
Cruel Summer was previously referred to by Taylor as her "pride and joy" off the tracks for Lover.
It is a "love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory," as the album's theme of a "love letter to love" states. It is all about the pain of a fleeting summer romance.
Because it was played on the singer's Eras Tour, it has gained new popularity.
"You guys have streamed Cruel Summer so much right now in 2023 that it's rising on the streaming charts," she recently said to the crowd at a concert.
"So insane. It will be the next single, my label has decided. ".
Jessica Retson, a fan who calls herself "an official Swiftie," is one of those people who has been listening non-stop.
The 25-year-old student is demonstrating her dedication by writing her dissertation about the popstar.
She adores Cruel Summer, as you might expect.
She tells BBC Newsbeat, "It's such a nice song, all the lyrics.".
"And it's a little bit cat-and-mouse, quite romantic, upbeat, and captures the emotions you have when you first fall in love with someone. ".
Lover is Taylor's seventh studio album and the first to be released after she parted ways with her previous label Big Machine Records due to a disagreement with the business.
The celebrity claimed that the second surge in Cruel Summer's popularity felt "truly perplexing.".
"I just haven't experienced anything like this in my career," she said.
A single release has been in high demand, according to Jessica, and she's happy it's finally receiving the attention it deserves.
"Four years later, there is a new appreciation for it, so there is definitely a place for it in the fandom. ".
