Promo
editAs it looks in the article now, this song is probably a promotional single, because it is used to promote the album. - Thewormsplayer (talk) 11:27, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Genre
editThis song should not be listed as "indie pop." It's just straight up pop. Taylor Swift has nothing in common with any of the artists linked under Indie pop (ie Sarah Records, Belle and Sebastian). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.105.155.82 (talk) 16:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- I put it as indie pop because many critics compared it to "I Wanna Get Better," by Bleachers, which is an indie pop song. (Cajalden (talk) 21:27, 17 October 2014 (UTC))

Official single
editThe song is now the sixth single from 1989 and was released on the same date the music video was premiered. Sourced from The Guardian where it states that it is the sixth official single from the album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riot kiddo (talk • contribs) 17:34, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Nobody denies its the sixth official single, however Guardian link does not mention that the "single" release was on Dec 31, it was just the music video. Stop making up and adding WP:OR. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 22:29, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
2016 chart positions
editA lot of the chart positions are based on when the song debuted on the chart following the release of the item as a promotional single in 2014, but are deceptive regarding the position the song reached in it's second chart run in 2016. For example, the promotional debuted at #18 in 2014, and quickly dropped off the chart. However, the single debuted at #46 and has since descended. Since 2 calendar years have passed between these debuts, shouldn't the chart positions be divided into 2014 and 2016 columns? It's a bit deceptive to say that the song peaked at #18 between 2014 and 2016. Also, it says "2014-2016", when the song wasn't on the chart for that period of time. It just happened to have a chart run in those two years. --pluma♫ ♯ 01:43, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- Its the same version of the song and the chart trajectory is combined always. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 09:16, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
Producers
editI know it's mentioned that Max Martin produced Swift's vocals in the article, but why not in the infobox? The only reason I'm asking this is because he's credited in the 1989 Track Listing. Is it worth noting in the infobox or not? Calebh12 (talk) 16:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Chart position in Belgium
editThe summary says that Out of the Woods reached the top 10 in Belgium (amongst others). However, in the Charts section it says that Out of the Woods only reached the 50th position. I checked the source in the Charts section and I can't find any indication that Out of the Woods reached the top 10. So I deleted Belgium for now. If someone has a reliable source that says that the song did reach the top 10 in Belgium, we can put it back. Marloura (talk) 11:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
