The EP was released on July 15, 2008 by Big Machine Records exclusively to Wal-Mart stores in the United States and online. The limited release EP has a primarily country pop sound and features alternate versions of tracks from her debut album, ''Taylor Swift'' (2006), and two original tracks, "Beautiful Eyes" and "I Heart Question Mark", songs which she had previously written; a DVD, featuring music videos of singles from ''Taylor Swift'', is also included on the physical release of the EP. ''Beautiful Eyes'' peaked at number nine on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 and topped ''Billboard'' ==Background== Swift received much success with the release of her self-titled debut album ''Taylor Swift'' (2006), and began working on her second studio album, ''Fearless'' (2008), in 2007. During that time, she received a number of e-mails from fans requesting for new material to be released, which drove Swift into releasing ''Beautiful Eyes'': "I thought this might tide them over till the new album comes out in the fall." ''Beautiful Eyes'' is musically oriented to country pop and contemporary music. It includes new versions of tracks from ''Taylor Swift'': an alternate version of "Should've Said No", the fifth single from the album, an acoustic version of "Teardrops on My Guitar", the second single from the album, a radio edit of "Picture to Burn", the fourth single from the album, and "I'm Only Me when I'm with You", a promotional single from the album. The EP also features two original songs, "Beautiful Eyes" and "I Heart Question Mark", which she previously wrote in 2003.〔 The EP's DVD features music videos from the singles from ''Taylor Swift'', as well as a music video made for "Beautiful Eyes" from footage from Swift's eighteenth birthday party. Swift did not want any misconceptions of ''Beautiful Eyes'' as her second album and therefore partnered with the American retail company Wal-Mart to make the EP an exclusive release.〔 The album was only made available through American Wal-Mart stores and Wal-Mart's website. Furthermore, it was made a limited release because Swift only allowed Big Machine Records to manufacture a certain number of copies of the EP.〔 She said, "I’m only letting my record company make a small amount of these. The last thing I want any of you to think is that we are putting out too many releases."〔 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「Beautiful Eyes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
