The Cruel Summer hitmaker shared the news via her Instagram story, which featured the digital album cover along with a link to her website. Fans can purchase My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys (First Draft Phone Memo) for $4.99. The announcement added that the offer is exclusive to the US and will be available until 11:59 a.m. ET on Sunday, 4 August.

This is not the first time that Swift has released a limited version of one of her tracks from TTPD.

These voice memos highlight the making of the track featuring the pop icon's raw vocals and the production process.

Fans left emotional over Taylor Swift's latest voice memo

Shortly after the release of the bonus track, an ardent Swiftie shared a snippet of the memo on X, formerly Twitter. In the clip, which has garnered over 133K views, the Anti-Hero singer can be heard saying, “OK, so this is kind of an abnormal structure, but I think it could be really cool this way.” “It sounds sad because it's on piano, and I'm sad in general, but it's got to have like a driving synth beat or whatever,” she added.

One emotional fan wrote, “My heart was hurting hearing her say those words,” while another added, “And then the sniffle before she started singing.” A third simply said, “That hurt.” However, some fans appreciated the fact that the Blank Space singer is no longer depressed or sad. “But the positive side is she’s in SUCH a better place!” wrote a fan.
