I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)
Narrator: she could not, in fact, fix him 🤠
Who it's for
Swift captures the rescuer fantasy, the belief that your love can fix someone, with a wink, and the last line lets the truth land.

What it is
"I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)" is track 11 on Taylor Swift's 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department, written and produced with Jack Antonoff. The narrator insists she can bring out the sweet side of a dangerous, troubled man, but the song's final line undercuts her certainty. Critics linked its sound to Southern Gothic melodrama.
