“Mine” is the first single from Swift’s third album, Speak Now, which will be released on October 25, 2010 via Big Machine Records. She wrote the song herself and co-produced it with Nathan Chapman, the producer of her first two studio albums. Unlike with her past two albums, Swift wrote all of its material by herself.

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.” She added that every relationship she has been in “has ended in goodbye, has ended in breakups,” and that “Mine” is “sort of about finding the exception to that.”

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. It is her eleventh official release to country radio, following five singles each from her first two studio albums.

The song, which Swift recently described as a song of hope inspired by her recent tendency to run from love, quickly went to No. 1 on iTunes’ real-time chart.

“I landed in Japan and got 20 texts and looked at iTunes and got tears in my eyes,” she said on Twitter. “And so, we begin again.”
