Coney Island (stylized in all lowercase) is a song recorded by Taylor Swift, featuring The National. It is the ninth track from Swift's ninth studio album, Evermore, which was surprise-released on December 11, 2020. The song was released as a single on January 18, 2021, as the album's third single.
"Coney Island" was written by Swift, Joe Alwyn (under the pseudonym William Bowery) and the National members Aaron and Bryce Dessner, with production being handled by the latter two. It is an alternative rock and indie folk duet that counterpoints Swift's melodious vocals against Matt Berninger's baritone, depicting a separated couple's memories in Coney Island, New York City.
