The producer Ali Payami and the guitarist Niklas Ljungfelt composed the instrumental of "Style", a guitar-driven track inspired by Daft Punk and what Ljungfelt described as "funky electronic music". Payami played the track to Martin, which Swift overheard and led to her becoming fond of the track. She and Martin wrote new lyrics to the instrumental, and Shellback and Payami co-wrote the track. Martin, Shellback, and Payami produced "Style", which was recorded by Michael Illbert and Sam Holland, assisted by Cory Bice, at MXM Studios in Stockholm and Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea and John Hanes at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, and it was mastered by Tom Coyne at Sterling Sound in New York City. "Style" was the last song produced for 1989; Swift said that once she finished the track, she knew the album was complete: "There was a huge missing piece, and that song filled it."{{Sfn|Zaleski|2024|p=110}}
