}} "22" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her fourth studio album, ''Red'' (2012). It was written by Swift along with the song's producers Max Martin and Shellback. The song was released as the album's fourth single on March 12, 2013. The lyrics describe the joys of being 22 years old. The song received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Swift's collaboration with Martin and Shellback and the new pop sound they created for her. It peaked at 20 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming the sixth single from ''Red'' to hit the top twenty. ==Background and release== After writing her third studio album ''Speak Now'' (2010) entirely solo, she opted to collaborate with different songwriters and producers for ''Red''. Thus, she called Max Martin and Shellback, two songwriters and producers whose work she admired, to discuss a possible collaboration. She told ''Billboard'' magazine: "For me, being 22 has been my favorite year of my life. I like all the possibilities of how you're still learning, but you know enough. You still know nothing, but you know that you know nothing. You're old enough to start planning your life, but you're young enough to know there are so many unanswered questions. That brings about a carefree feeling that is sort of based on in-decision and fear and at the same time letting loose. Being 22 has taught me so much". Swift, being a close friend of actresses and singers Dianna Agron and Selena Gomez, dedicated "22" to them. The song was officially supposed to impact contemporary hit radio in the U.S. on March 5, 2013, before being pushed back by one week to March 12, 2013, and in the UK on March 31, 2013. An exclusive limited edition individually numbered CD single was also released exclusively to Swift's store on March 13, 2013, the same day the music video was released. The CD single was sold by itself or via an exclusive package with the Red Tour items and a T-shirt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「22 (Taylor Swift song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
