大马创作才女戴佩妮说过，写歌予她而言就像是在写日记，纪录她当下的生活。

美国创作小天后泰勒丝（Taylor Swift）也一样，以写歌方式来记录她的……每一段恋情。据说，每一次分手，她都会写一歌来“回敬”前任。

《Back to December》便是其中一首。

这是泰勒丝渐从乡村歌手转型至流行歌手时期的作品，收录在她于2010年10月25日发行的第三张专辑《Speak Now》中。她说，这首歌是自己第一次以歌曲的形式向人道歉。
 

在那不久前，她与泰勒洛纳（Taylor Lautner）——《暮光之城·Twilight》系列饰演痴情狼的那位男星，分了手。《Back to December》歌词表达了希望得到前任恋人对分手这件事的原谅之情。加上词中出现“你古铜色的皮肤，你甜美的微笑”，泰勒丝即使没有明言，但外界都认定这首歌便是她写给这位前男友的。

至于泰勒洛纳，则在多年之后，才终于承认关于这首歌的传言。

不谈八卦以歌论歌的话，《Back to December》这首管弦乡村流行抒情曲获得了乐评人的好评，不论歌词、旋律与演唱均获得了赞誉，更视为《Speak Now》的亮点之一。《Speak Now》在隔年便获得告示牌“年度最佳乡村专辑”。

《Back to December》
作词：Taylor Swift
作曲：Taylor Swift

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
Small talk：work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Because the last time you saw me still
burn in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride,
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you,
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it allright
I go back to December all the time

These days I haven't been sleepin'
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side and
I realized I loved you in the fall
Then the cold came, the dark days
when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride,
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you,
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December,
turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This is me swallowing my pride,
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you,
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it allright
i go back to December turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time
