"How You Get the Girl" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift (pictured) from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). She wrote it with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. An electropop and bubblegum pop song, it is a ballad that features acoustic guitar strums and a heavy disco beat. The lyrics find Swift telling a man how to win his ex-girlfriend back after their breakup. Some critics praised the song as catchy and highlighted the chorus; less enthusiastic reviews considered the production generic and the lyrics lightweight. The track received certifications in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Swift included it in the set list of the 1989 World Tour (2015), with choreography that evoked the musical film Singin' in the Rain (1952). She performed it on some dates of the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018) and the Eras Tour (2023–2024). The track was used in a Diet Coke advertisement prior to its release.
