Fun facts

Taylor Swift wrote and produced "Clean", a song that comes from her fifth album, 1989, released in 2014. The track blends soft rock, dream pop and synth-folk into a slow ballad with electronic production. It speaks about the struggle to let go of a relationship that no longer works. The collaboration with Imogen Heap gives a distinct touch to the sound, something that is noticeable in the details of the song.

The story behind

Incubus recorded Clean as part of their album Make Yourself, released in October 1999. The song lasts 3 minutes and 56 seconds, and has a rhythm that moves between alternative rock and pop. It is one of the most played songs on Last.fm, with over a million plays. The lyrics talk about cleanliness, about leaving behind what doesn't work, about starting over. It's not a very complicated song, but it has that touch that makes you think. The singer's voice carries the song with a calm that contrasts with the rhythm, as if telling a story that's already known. It's a song that can be played live, that can be understood, that can be felt.
