Spin critic Bobby Olivier described "Coney Island" as a "wonderfully dark duet" that feels like "a lonely waltz down a Brooklyn boardwalk", and praised the fusion of Swift's "wispy" head voice with Berninger's bass. The lyrics are about the hollow feelings of losing oneself in a relationship that has gone. She made look good and didn't drop once".
Berninger said that work experience with Swift was "like dancing with Gene Kelly. The song features the National, with frontman Matt Berninger on vocals. "Coney Island" is an alternative rock song written in the waltz tempo. "Coney Island" centers on a couple who recall their memories together in Coney Island, an entertainment area in New York City. The band assembled, Devendorf played the drums, while his brother Scott Devendorf played the bass and pocket piano Bryce Dessner helped produce the song. Aaron Dessner informed Berninger, who was "excited" for the idea. After listening to the demo, the Dessner brothers observed that the song feels very related to the National, and envisioned Matt Berninger (lead vocalist of the National) singing it, and Bryan Devendorf (drummer of the National) playing its drums. Swift and her boyfriend, English actor Joe Alwyn, wrote its lyrics, and recorded it with her vocals. One of those was what would become "Coney Island". The Dessner brothers sent Swift some of the instrumentals they made for their band, the National. This time, they also worked with Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner's twin brother. She and Dessner worked again on her follow-up album Evermore, a "sister record" to Folklore. Taylor Swift had collaborated with the National's Aaron Dessner on her 2020 album Folklore, an indie folk album that departs from the upbeat pop production of her previous releases. It further reached number 12 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and number 18 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart. "Coney Island" charted in many countries, reaching 31 in Canada, 43 in Australia, and 63 in the United States. Upon release, the song reached number 45 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. Lyrically, it depicts a separated couple's memories in Coney Island, New York City.
"Coney Island" is an alternative rock duet that counterpoints Swift's melodious vocals against Matt Berninger's baritone.

It was released to US alternative radio on January 18, 2021, by Republic Records as the album's third and final single. The song is taken from Swift's ninth studio album, Evermore (2020).
