Composition

Everything Has Changed is written in the key of F-sharp major with 80 beats per minute, and lasts four minutes and four seconds. Swift's vocals span from F#3 to C#5.

Critical response

The song has received critical acclaim from music critics upon release. Billboard gave the song a very positive review, saying "'I just wanna know you better / know you better now,' Swift and Sheeran serenade each other on this sweet duet about the sudden impact of new romance. Thematically, this is Swift at her most familiar, but Sheeran's tender harmonies lend the song some much-needed depth." About.com gave a positive review giving 4 stars out of 5 and saying, "Images of Taylor in ankle socks in her bedroom playing to a four track. More scratch guitar that was never re-recorded. The drums come in. "All I know is you held the door / You'll be mine and I'll be yours." Turns out it's a love song. "I just wanna know you better know you better know you better I just wanna know..." Allmusic gave the song 4 stars out of 5.

Music video

Lyrics

All I knew this morning when i woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn’t before
And all I’ve seen since 18 hours ago
Is green eyes and freckles
And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I’ll be yours
All i know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

And all my walls stood tall, painted blue
I'll take ‘em down, take ‘em down
And open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind
Makin’ up for lost time, takin’ flight making me feel like
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I’ll be yours
All i know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I’ve missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
Let me know that it's not all in my mind
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I’ll be yours
All i know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All i know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days I’ll know your face
All I know since yesterday
Is everything has changed
