In an interview with radio station KISS FM, Swift revealed that she chose the name of the album after her birth year and the album is inspired by music from that year. Swift explained:

I have a few artists in the late eighties who I think made the most incredible, bold, risky decisions as far as pop music goes. They were really ahead of their time, like Annie Lennox and what Madonna was doing in the late eighties. “Like a Prayer” is legitimately one of the greatest pop songs of all time.
