Swift wrote this love-gone-wrong song with singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, who also sings on the track. Swift told That's Country how she hooked up with the Californian: "I was a huge fan of Colbie's record. When it came out, I fell in love with the way that she makes music. I contacted her management right away and I asked if I could write with her and, sure enough, Colbie had a date coming up in Nashville where she was going to be playing a show and she had the day off. I think she sounds beautiful on it. I'm so excited to have her voice on my album."
Swift explained to That's Country that this tune is, "a song about having to say goodbye to somebody, but it never blames anybody. Sometimes that's the most difficult part. When it's nobody's fault."
Colbie Caillat told The Associated Press about their collaboration: "I went to Nashville about a year and a half ago, and she wanted to write with me, and I flew there and we worked on the songs on morning and she had this beautiful song started and it's about having to let someone go and say goodbye to a really good friend. And we became friends after that. She is so sweet, so beautiful, so talented and honestly just a really intelligent young women. She knows what she is doing and she knows how to handle her career and take charge. I love her."
