“Maroon” is the second song on Taylor Swift’s tenth album ”Midnights”. It has similarities to “Red” and “Clean.”
While “Red” describes a love that was “burning red,” this track is a more grown-up version of a love story. It shows that shades of red were a constant in the relationship, but maroon is a brownish crimson color; it is not a straightforward red but allows for complexities and honesty.
