《I Know Places》是由美国流行女歌手
泰勒·斯威夫特演唱的一首歌曲，收录在泰勒·斯威夫特的第五张录音室专辑《
1989》中，发布于2014年10月27日。2023年10月27日，该曲被泰勒·斯威夫特进行重新录制，并被收录在泰勒·斯威夫特的第四张重录专辑《
1989 (Taylor's Version)》。
2014年10月23日，泰勒·斯威夫特在社交网站
Instagram曝光新专辑《
1989》标准版完整曲目。如果说上一张专辑《
Red》中“乡村”与“流行”的分庭抗礼，标志着泰勒·斯威夫特向“流行音乐界”的正式进军，那么这一张《1989》则意味着她对“乡村音乐”的彻底转型，虽然出道后的泰勒一直被人诟病不够“村”，但她走的却是“稳扎稳打”的路子。从村味儿最浓的《
Taylor Swift》，到“乡乐流行化”的《
Fearless》《
Speak Now》，再到试水加入的电音回响贝斯元素《
Red》，泰勒可谓是步步为营。每个农村出身的人，或多或少都曾有过，对城市生活无可救药的迷恋。因此，听众就要理解，泰勒作为乡乐歌手转型成为流行乐歌手之后，在《Welcome to New York》这首描述城市灯火的歌中，所透露出的“咄咄逼人”。另一方面，如果说《Red》是她和“流行乐”签订的双边合作协议，那《1989》简直就是一篇完整的婚姻誓词。
《I Know Places》的主歌是专辑中旋律最为诡异的存在，无论是开始如未处理Demo般的“I~ I ~I ~I~”，还是第一段主歌配乐中军鼓响弦的节奏加入，都是区别于一般流行歌曲的地方，可惜副歌开始后又迅速跳回了人们熟悉的流行调调，这也不奇怪，毕竟制作人是
Ryan Tedder这位大热单曲炮制者，另外，这首歌开头与结尾处的录音机声音采样也是一个亮点，不知是不是受到了
Frank Ocean 《Nostalgia, Ultra》专辑的启发。专辑中小美女还在《I Know Places》中统一回复了各大媒体狗仔队对她私生活的穷追猛打：这首歌讲的是Taylor Swift和他的男友们长期以来饱受狗仔队的困扰。《I Know Places》主歌段落中奇怪的钢琴Loop就是Taylor Swift之前作品中没有出现过的。

So over the years a lot of people have asked me to sort of describe my songwriting process from beginning to end, how long does it take, where do you write, what are the circumstances, do you start with the music or do you start with the lyrics. And you know my answer is always that it happens differently every time and that's why I'm still so in love with songwriting. So what I've done here is shown you three different examples of, um, the beginning stages of these songs and how they each started different ways so um I'll explain them to you and maybe that'll help you understand kinda how I put songs together.
I sent this voice memo to Ryan Tedder because I'd always wanted to work with him and finally we scheduled some studio time. So...I always want to be prepared I want to send him the idea that I was working on before we went to the studio just in case he wrote back and said I can't stand that I want to work on something else, think of something else. So...um...I just set down the piano, put my phone on top of the piano and just kind of explain to him where I wanted to go with this song, how I saw the melody sitting in and um...we ended up recording this song the next day and they ended up being on the record called I know places. So this was the voice memo I sent to him the night before we ended up finishing the song.
Okay...so this is kind of this rough idea thing...
