The post included an animated note with lyrics from the song and a letterhead reading, "Florence Welch Department of Hurricanes and Haunted Lace Florida."

In an interview with British Vogue in April, Welch talked about her experience recording with Swift, who approached her with "a concept and a story."

While Welch described the recording session as a fun experience . highlighting Swift's down-to-earth nature., she was not aware of the fanfare that would follow "There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth," she shared.

Swift has previously discussed the inspiration behind "Florida!!!" with iHeartRadio, explaining that the song explores themes of escape and dealing with the consequences of life choices. 

She described the track as stemming from the idea of feeling trapped by harsh consequences and judgment, leading one to wonder, "is there a place you could go?"
