During Secret Sessions with fans before the album's release, Taylor left the room each time the song was played.

And during a YouTube Live Stream to mark Lover's release, Taylor revealed that she still cannot emotionally handle the song. She said: "It was really, really hard to write. We as a family decided to put this on the album, and it's something I'm so proud of, but it's just really hard. I can't sing it. It's hard to just emotionally deal with that song."
