Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Back To December. By Songfacts®.

This is a track from Taylor Swift's third studio album, Speak Now. Taylor apologizes in this song about the way she messed up a relationship with a former boyfriend who now finds it hard to trust her.

Taylor admitted to E! News the song is dedicated to an actual person to whom she had done wrong. "It addresses a first for me in that I've never apologized in song," she said. "The person I wrote this song about deserves this. This is about a person who was incredible to me, just perfect to me in a relationship, and I was really careless with him."

Many of Taylor's fans believe that the song is referring to American actor Taylor Lautner, whom she dated briefly at the end of 2009. However, even though the singer is happy to pour out personal details in song, she is remaining silent on just who is the recipient of her apologies. "It's such an interesting little quirk," Taylor told USA Today. "It's like, 'Obviously, you're writing songs about your life and you're almost admitting to these things.' But when it actually comes time to talk about them in an interview, I get pretty shy and coy about it."
