Swift produced Reputation with two teams: one with Jack Antonoff and the other with Max Martin and Shellback; she had worked with all three on 1989. By engaging a smaller production group on Reputation than on 1989, she envisioned that the album would be more coherent but still "versatile enough". [24]

- Ready For It? " Like many songs on Reputation, the album's first track is rumored to be about Swift's current boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. She sings the line, "Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so," which seems to refer to Alwyn.
- "End Game" In this track, she sings, "I wanna be your end game / I wanna be your first string." Considering her relationship with Alwyn is her current focus, it would make sense if the track is about him.
- "I Did Something Bad" This song gets a bit more serious in calling someone out. Swift sings, "If a man talks sh*t, then I owe him nothing / I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming."
- "Don't Blame Me" Yet another song that could be about her romance with Alwyn. She sings, "I've been breakin' hearts a long time, and / Toyin' with them older guys," which could be a nod to her relationships with older men, like Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston.
- “…Ready For It?” Album opener “…Ready For It?” sets the tone for Reputation: dark, dramatic, sexy — and occasionally saccharine. Over a foreboding bass synth, Rave Goth Taylor raps about a budding relationship, all but likening the chase to a game of cops and robbers.
- “End Game” [Feat. Ed Sheeran and Future] On “End Game,” Swift continues to play with hip-hop, (surprisingly) convincingly holding her own alongside pal Ed Sheeran and Future, who provide rapped verses.
- “I Did Something Bad” Hell hath no fury like a Taylor Swift scorned. On seething standout “I Did Something Bad,” Tay comes out guns a-blazing — literally, the frenzied, horror-movie production includes faux gunshots — unapologetically firing off bitter barbs about the ex that “had it comin’.”
- “Don’t Blame Me” Swift continues to spin the public’s opinion of her — that she’s boy-crazy, that she plays the victim — into sonic gold on the bluesy “Don’t Blame Me.”

- “…Ready For It?” : Starting things off with a thumping bass line and rallying cry, “…Ready For It?” also offers one of Swift’s prettiest melodies. “In the middle of the night, in my dreams, you should see the things we do,” she sings sweetly before switching into her new-era rap-singing.
- “End Game” (featuring Ed Sheeran and Future): Swift tapped her good friend Sheeran for this slow-jam-style track, a self-reflective — and self-aware — plea to both the listener and a lover.
- “I Did Something Bad”: Swift knows that her critics have strong opinions about her; after all, the album is called Reputation. And in the bombastic “I Did Something Bad,” she appears to address some of the narratives that have surrounded her.
- “Don’t Blame Me”: If you’re a fan of Avicii or Kygo’s brand of un-rushed atmospheric electro-pop, you might like the rich, vibey notes Swift brings together in “Don’t Blame Me,” a moody, dark song that starts out swinging and pretty, and builds into a gospel-backed EDM anthem.
