It was sent to country radios on November 15, 2010, by Big Machine Records as the second single from Swift`s third studio album, 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, Swift`s ex-boyfriend, although both Swift and Lautner has neither confirmed nor denied these allegations. "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.
