Fans are hoping Swift will have more to say when the song drops at midnight ET.

When announcing the song in March, she said on Instagram, "'Where The Crawdads Sing' is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago. As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible @daisyedgarjones and produced by the brilliant @reesewitherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side."

The singer added that she wrote the song by herself and tapped folklore and evermore producer Aaron Dessner to help her bring "Carolina" to life. She also teased, "I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story."

The movie's director, Olivia Newman, previously revealed Swift made the song authentic to the early '50s, which is when the first half of "Where the Crawdads Sing" is set. Added Newman, "They chose instruments that were only available before 1953 and she recorded it in one take the way they recorded songs at the time."

"Where the Crawdads Sing" arrives in theaters July 15.
