Opalite" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl (2025). Written and produced by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, "Opalite" is an upbeat pop rock, soft rock, and synth-pop song with a disco groove and a bouncy swing arrangement driven by bass and harmony. Titled after manmade opals, "Opalite" is a love song about Swift's content state of mind in a happy relationship. The lyrics use gemstone metaphors to visualize failed relationships as dark "onyx" nights, in contrast to happiness as a bright, opalescent sky. Music critics generally praised the sound and uplifting message of "Opalite". Commercially, the track reached number one on the Philippines Hot 100 as well as number two on the Billboard Global 200 and the charts of Australia, Austria, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. It has been certified platinum in Australia and Canada. The song inspired a viral dance trend on social media and was subject of a controversy where some internet users alleged Swift of racial insensitivity.
I had a bad habit Of missing lovers past My brother used to call it 'Eating out of the trash' It's never gonna last I thought my house was haunted I used to live with ghosts And all the perfect couples Said, "When you know you know." And, "When you don't you don't." And all of the foes and all of the friends Have seen it before, they'll see it again Life is a song, it ends when it ends I was wrong But my Mama told me It's alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord Never made no one like you before You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh oh You couldn't understand it Why you felt alone You were in it for real She was in her phone And you were just a pose And don't we try to love love We give it all we got (we give it all we got) You finally left the table And what a simple thought You're starving til you're not And all of the foes and all of the friends Have messed up before, they'll mess up again Life is a song, it ends when it ends You move on And that's when I told you It's alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord Never met no one like you before You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh oh This is just A storm inside a teacup But shelter here with me, my love Thunder like a drum This life will beat you up, up, up, up This is just a temporary speed bump But failure brings you freedom And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love Don't you sweat it, baby It's alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord Never made no one like you before, no You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh oh
