Taylor Swift,Mine (song),

Background

"Mine" is the first single off Swift's third album, Speak Now, which will be released on October 25, 2010. In a live chat through Ustream.tv on July 20, 2010, Swift said about the song:

“ It's a song that is about ... my tendency to run from love. It's been sort of a recent tendency. I think it's because that, for me, every really direct example of love that I've had in front of me has ended in goodbye, has ended in breakups. I think I've developed this pattern of sort of running away when it comes time to fall in love and to stay in a relationship. The song is sort of about finding the exception to that and finding someone who would make you believe in love and realize that it could work out. I'm never, ever going to go past hoping that love can work out. I'm always going to be very hopeful and blindly optimistic when it comes to love. ”

On August 4, 2010, the song was leaked online, forcing it to be shipped to country radio prematurely, ahead of the intended August 16 release date.

Critical reception

KILT-FM describes "Mine" as "an uptempo song that’s unmistakably Taylor":

“ It’s a boy/girl song, sort of like "Love Story", but a much more realistic look at a relationship. It shows Taylor's growth and maturity over the 2 years since she released Fearless, but still maintains Taylor's ability to tell a story with an instantly memorable hook. In the song, Taylor is a girl who always avoided love and then finds herself in a great relationship. Here’s a line from the chorus:

You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter / You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.

“Mine” has a big chorus, and is very singable – like all great Taylor Swift songs.
