About “Speak Now”

Taylor Swift’s third studio album saw her sending several messages to former partners, as well as the media, a first for her career. As she explained in the liner notes, Swift sees the songs as “open letters” to those she loves, those who hurt her, and those who she hurt.

Swift wrote each song on the album, aside from the deluxe track “If This Was a Movie,” by herself. She originally claimed it was because there were no co-writers around while she was on her Fearless Tour in 2009, but she revealed to TIME in 2014 that she did this to fend off critics who thought she used ghostwriters or that her co-writers wrote most of the lyrics.

According to Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Records, Swift originally wanted to name the album Enchanted, after the album’s ninth track. Borchetta argued that this was counterproductive, since this record showcased her maturation and growth as an artist. She changed the title to Speak Now to mirror her honesty throughout the project.

Speak Now debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling over 1.047 million copies in its first week.

Swift teamed up with Target to release a deluxe edition with three exclusive tracks: “Ours,” “If This Was a Movie,” and “Superman.”
