Sweeter than Fiction

"Sweeter than Fiction" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from the soundtrack to the 2013 film One Chance. Written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, the track was released by Big Machine Records for download via the iTunes Store on October 21, 2013. "Sweeter than Fiction" is a 1980s-inspired electropop, synth-pop, bubblegum, rock, and new wave song with elements of Britpop. Lyrically, it details the narrator's belief in her friend that he will succeed one day. "Sweeter than Fiction" was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards.

The track peaked in the top 40 on the singles charts of Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and the United States. Critical reception of the song was generally positive, although retrospective opinions have regarded it as a lesser entry in Swift's discography. Some critics opined that "Sweeter than Fiction" was pivotal in shaping the synth-pop sound of Swift's album 1989, as well as the long-lasting collaboration between Swift and Antonoff. Following the 2019 dispute over the ownership of Swift's back catalog, she re-recorded the song as "Sweeter than Fiction (Taylor's Version)", which was released exclusively on the Tangerine Edition of her fourth re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023).
