Back to December

Back to December is a song written and recorded by American singer/songwriter Taylor Swift for her third studio album Speak Now (2010). The song was sent to country radio in the United States on November 15, 2010, as the second single from Speak Now. According to Swift, Back to December is the first time she ever apologizes to someone in a song. Critics speculate that the song is about Taylor Lautner, Swifts ex-boyfriend, which was later acknowledged by Lautner. Back to December is considered an orchestral country pop ballad and its lyrics are a remorseful plea for forgiveness for breaking up with a former lover.
