Joe Alwyn received additional production credit on Taylor Swift’s “august.”
The song was written by Swift and Jack Antonoff, and the two are credited as its principal producers in Folklore’s liner notes. Joe Alwyn is listed as an additional co-producer. During the Folklore era, Alwyn used the pseudonym William Bowery on several songwriting and production credits, which led to considerable fan discussion about his role in Swift’s music.
A common mix-up is to credit Aaron Dessner because he produced many Folklore tracks and helped define the album’s sound. Dessner was an important collaborator on the project, but the production credits for “august” identify Swift, Antonoff, and Alwyn. The song was recorded at Kitty Committee in Los Angeles and Rough Customer in Brooklyn, with mixing completed at Long Pond Studio.
