This is the sixth single from Taylor Swift's third studio album Speak Now. The song was taken from the Deluxe edition of the LP and released as a promotional single for digital download to iTunes and Amazon on November 8, 2011. Taylor performed the song at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards the following evening.
The song finds Taylor in a relationship of which others do not approve. She reassures her beau that despite the criticism they are getting, she loves him. Possible clues in the lyrics as to the identity of the person she is singing of include:
1) "I love the gap between your teeth" (Toby Hemingway from the "Mine" video fits that description)
2) "Any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored" (John Mayer's entire left arm is covered in a sleeve tattoo, and his body is sprinkled with assorted other inked creations).
The song was written solely by Swift, who also manned the boards along with her usual producer Nathan Chapman. The Nashville knob twiddler has also worked with Shania Twain, Lauren Alaina and Laura Bell Bundy amongst others.
