Wildest Dreams, written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback, is a track from the album 1989. Swift was inspired to write the song after considering how the media was portraying her romantic relationships in a way she felt was not reflective of her actual experiences. The lyrics reflect a desire for a loving memory to linger even knowing the relationship might not last.
