Writing and composition

"Don't Blame Me" was written by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, and was produced by the latter two. "Don't Blame Me" runs for a duration of three minutes and fifty-six seconds;[1][2] and it has a tempo of 68 beats per minute. Swift performs it in the key of A minor in a vocal range span from E3 to E5, spanning two octaves. Musically, the track is an electropop song, with influences of blues and gospel, thus being compared to the works of musician Hozier. Lyrically, it talks about her being "crazy in love" with a guy, despite admitting herself as a heartbreaker in the past.[3] The song has been rumored to be about her current boyfriend Joe Alwyn.[4]
