This is a song by American rapper B.o.B, from his second studio album, Strange Clouds. The Dr. Luke and Cirkut produced track finds the American rapper identifying with underdogs, as he rhymes about battling pain and hardships in life. It was leaked on April 11, 2012.
That's Country-Pop singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's voice on the hook. The pair first performed together when B.o.B. made a surprise appearance at Swift's 2011 show at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium. The rapper sang his hit, "Airplanes," with Swift taking over chorus duties from Paramore's Hayley Williams.
It was Swift who came up with the idea for the collaboration after she visited B.o.B's Grand Hustle record label HQ. The rapper explained that, "she came to Atlanta and she hit up Grand Hustle. I wasn't there. Tip was there and I eventually linked with her in Dallas and the rest is history."
