It’s an entrancing track that’s so very her—truly the queen of love songs.

Taylor Swift – Back To December

If you’re looking to make the most of the season by playing winter songs on a drive, I recommend “Back to December”! It’s included on Taylor Swift’s massively successful 2010 album Speak Now.

A global singer-songwriter whose down-to-earth lyrics resonate widely, Swift lays bare the feelings of a narrator who regrets breaking up with a lover, making this a quintessential Taylor-style ballad.

It’s said to be about her brief relationship with actor Taylor Lautner, and even while knowing they can’t go back, she tenderly sings about the happy memories and the aching wish to return to that December when they said goodbye and start over.

If you’ve had a similar experience, you’ll surely relate.

It’s the perfect song to play when you’re driving alone, looking back on bittersweet memories.
