Joe Alwyn is credited as a producer on Taylor Swift’s “august,” alongside Swift and Jack Antonoff. Alwyn worked with Swift on several Folklore and Evermore songs under the pseudonym William Bowery, but the “august” credits identify him by his own name as a co-producer.
Antonoff created the instrumental first and sent it to Swift, who wrote the lyrics in an intuitive burst. Their collaboration helped shape the song’s soft, atmospheric sound, while Alwyn’s production credit connects the track to the private, home-recorded creative environment surrounding Folklore.
A common mix-up is assuming Aaron Dessner produced every song on Folklore because he was a major collaborator on the album. Dessner did produce many tracks, but “august” was produced by Swift, Antonoff, and Alwyn. The song’s songwriting credits belong to Swift and Antonoff, while the production credits include all three.
