“I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” was written by Swift, Sam Dew, and Jack Antonoff (who also co-wrote “Out Of The Woods,” “I Wish You Would,” “You are In Love” and “Sweeter Than Fiction” with Swift).
Antonoff shared on twitter:
i don’t wanna live forever came together very quickly. wrote it with taylor and sam dew and produced it at home mostly on paper sounds. recorded taylor at my house. zayn sent parts from LA – we did it in a week basically. i’ve never had something come out that quick. loved making this song with taylor sam and zayn

Swift is no stranger to writing songs for Movie Sountracks. She has already written several, one of which she won a GRAMMY for (“Safe and Sound” – The Hunger Games). Who better to write a song dealing with tortured love than Swift? She sings:
I’m sitting, eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my lifeBaby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?I don’t wanna live forever, ‘cause I know I’ll be living in pain
And I don’t wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Swift posted a clip of the song along with scenes from the trailer of Fifty Shades Darker. Watch below:
