Swift released the song alongside a video of her childhood, where she wore a red hat and boots, adorably walking around, just like Jessie. While the character\u2019s arc is under wraps, the film \u2018Toy Story 5\u2019 will be released on June 19, 2026. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cWriting this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now\u2026 is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond,\u201d she wrote in the caption of her post about the release. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>\u2018Safe &amp; Sound feat.
