Which three people produced Taylor Swift’s “august”?

Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Joe Alwyn produced “august.”

Swift and Antonoff are the song’s principal creative partners, while Alwyn received production credit under his professional collaboration with Swift on Folklore. Alwyn’s contributions to the album were credited under the pseudonym William Bowery for some songwriting work, but the “august” production credit identifies him by name in the song’s credits.

Antonoff built the instrumental before sending it to Swift, who developed the lyrics and vocal approach. The finished recording uses dream-pop textures, guitar, strings, keyboards, and prominent reverb to create a cinematic late-summer atmosphere.

Aaron Dessner produced much of Folklore and is central to the album’s sound, but he is not listed among the producers of “august.” This is why the song’s production credits should not be confused with the album’s broader group of collaborators.
