I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"I Knew You Were Trouble" is a track from Taylor Swift's 2012 fourth album, Red. It was co-written with producers Max Martin and Shellback. Originally penned as a piano ballad, Taylor Swift sought to capture the song's emotional turmoil through a hectic sonic landscape. The song marked a daring departure from Taylor Swift's country roots, combining elements from dance-pop, pop-rock, and teen pop with an unexpected dubstep refrain. Driven forward by electric guitars and synthesizers, "I Knew You Were Trouble" perfectly depicts the aftermath of a toxic relationship, touching on themes of self-blame and ignored red flags. Shortly after its commercial release on November 27, 2012, "I Knew You Were Trouble" peaked at number 2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, becoming Taylor Swift's eleventh single to debut within the Top 10 in the US. Red, its parent album, debuted atop the Billboard 200.
