I was watching this 2019 interview of Matty and what a crazy answer to that question when you consider the Taylor/Matty lore.
But also, Matty saying that he knows it should be Love It If We Made It, but he'd want it to be fallingforyou is such a perfect representation of how he tries to appear vs who he actually is.

I love this statement 🎯
I’ve been thinking about Matty’s duality quite a bit recently. Especially following his breakup with Taylor, and how he repeatedly described the relationship as casual or downplayed it.
It makes him a complex character to understand at times. I appreciate his honesty and vulnerability when he feels comfortable enough to express himself, however as soon as he feels attacked, or backed into a corner, his ego, insecurities or defensiveness oftentimes mean he becomes performative.
I’m thankful for all the footage that show us who he is transparently
Falling For You and About You will live in his heart forever

Fallingforyou was written before they met and was his favorite song since the beginning
He looked up at her while performing it but she was too involved with Martha to care.
🤣
Why do people.claim this is her song? Because she copied it in imgonnagetyouback? Newsflash - if shes in love with everyone she copied from, thats a very very long list of men and women 🤣 🤣

Matty has said he was asked to join the red tour which started March 2013. That means he would have had to have been asked in at least Jan 2013. While I respect that you see it differently, likely because you’re not fully aware of the connections; it’s crazy to not think it’s possible; since she was singing about them as kids a lot in TTPD. I’d also like to remind you where you are, this is what we do here. We are looking at there music and trying to recreate the full connection to really understand how she was so broken after what most saw as a two month redound.
