Honey Lyrics


[Refrain]
You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want
Mm-mm

[Chorus]
When anyone called me "Sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the b!tch was tellin' me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth
They were sayin' that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home

[Post-Chorus]
But when you touched my face
Redefined all of those blues
When you say "Honey"

[Verse 1]
Summertime spritz, pink skies
You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want
Wintergreen kiss, on my
Gave it a different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk
Honey I'm home, we could play house
We can bed down down, pick me up
Who's the baddest in the land, what’s the plan?
(What’s the plan?)
You could be my forever night stand
Honey

[Chorus]
When anyone called me "Sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the b!tch was tellin' me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth
They were sayin' that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home

[Post-Chorus]
But when you touched my face
Redefined all of those blues
When you say

[Verse 2]
You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
You give it different meaning, 'cause you mean it when you talk
Sweetie it’s yours, kicking in doors
Take it to the floor, give me more
Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (Of your eyes)
And graffiti my whole damn life
Honey

[Bridge]
When anyone called me late night
He was screwin' around with my mind
Askin' "What are you wearin'?"
Too hard to remember in the morning
And when anyone called me "Lovely"
They were findin' ways not to praise me
But you say it like you're in awe of me
And you stay until the morning
Honey

[Chorus]
When anyone called me "Sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the b!tch was tellin' me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth
They were sayin' that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home

[Outro]
But you can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want

Taylor Swift - Honey Lyrics | Song Review

Honey Song Review: Why Fans Love It

When Honey dropped on October 3, 2025, as part of Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album under Republic Records, fans knew it was going to sting—in the best way possible. Yes, it’s sweet and sharp.

1. Streaming & Reach: It’s Everywhere

Officially, Honey sits among the fastest-rising tracks on The Life of a Showgirl, a record that broke Spotify’s single-day streaming record just hours after release. While numbers specific to Honey haven’t been publicly isolated yet, the album as a whole amassed massive first-day traction.
On YouTube, the official audio/video is already trending—millions of views in mere days, making Honey one of the standout tracks when listeners click through the album.

2. Social Buzz & Hashtags

Across X and TikTok, #Honey and #HoneySwift are trending. Swifties are pairing the track with simulation videos, “first listen” reactions, soft dance edits, and even honey-dripping visual overlays. A second wave is from #ShowgirlEra and #TSHoney, which are getting traction in fan communities.

On TikTok, users are sampling the hook—“You can call me ‘honey’ if you want”—as ambient background for introspective montage edits. One trending clip shows a slow pan of a cityscape, rain-blurred windows, and then Honey plays. Emotional, minimal.

3. Fan Reactions on Social Media

On Reddit’s r/TaylorSwift, one fan paraphrased: “This is one of those songs I didn’t expect to click, but now I can’t skip. It’s glue.”
On X, someone wrote: “Honey is already stuck in my head. Showing up in my dreams.”
Another TikTok comment read: “I scrolled past Honey at first, but now it's my replay default.”

4. In Clubs, Parties & Live Moments

Though Taylor hasn’t hit every stage yet for The Life of a Showgirl, DJ sets at after-parties and mid-week club nights are sneaking in Honey’s tropical beat and sexy sway. Its groove makes it easy to slip into dance playlists, lounge sets, even slower remix versions for midnight rooms.

In early live teasers and pop-up events, fans report hearing Honey in the background before the main set—a kind of preamble vibe, letting the audience settle into the mood. It’s whispered that Taylor might flip it into an acoustic interlude in concert, giving it a second life live.

5. Why It Resonates

Honey thrives on duality: soft but bold; intimate but universal. Taylor leans into intimacy with the line “Call me honey” but not in a forced pop cliché—she gives it breath, space, and texture. That’s where fans fall, replay after replay.

The song fits the current moment: craving closeness in an era of digital noise. It's a sonic hug and a whispered promise. Combine that emotional pull with slick production and a superstar name, Honey becomes part anthem, part secret favorite.

So why are listeners hitting replay? Because in Honey, they find softness woven with strength, the quiet echoes beneath big emotions—and that’s exactly the kind of track that lingers in your headphones and your heart.
