It was released on October 9, 2012, in the United States by Big Machine Records as the third promotional single from the album. Later, "I Knew You Were Trouble" was released as the third single from ''Red'' on November 27, 2012, in the United States. Swift co-wrote the song with its producers Max Martin and Shellback. "I Knew You Were Trouble" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended its mainstream appeal yet noted Swift's experimentation with dubstep as relatively limited. Due to strong digital sales, the song debuted at number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, selling more than 416,000 copies within its first week, making it Swift's 14th entry in the top ten; it later peaked at number two in January 2013, after Bruno Marss "Locked Out of Heaven". At the inaugural YouTube Music Awards in 2013, "I Knew You Were Trouble" won the award for YouTube phenomenon. The single has been certified Quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song is one of the best-selling singles worldwide, with worldwide sales of more than 6.6 millions of units (according to the IFPI). ==Background and release== During her performance at the 2012 iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas, Swift told ''Rolling Stone'' magazine that she would start unveiling the songs from her fourth studio album, ''Red'', one-by-one. "Starting this week I’m gonna start unveiling new music... I really want there to be so many surprises left on the record for when it comes out eventually, some collaborations that haven’t been talked about and some songs that are definitely what make the album so unique," she added. Talking about the accompanying tour for the album, the singer explained that she always thinks about the visuals associated with a song—"Ooh, how are we gonna play this in concert? What’s the lighting gonna be like? What costumes are we gonna have?"—and one of the songs that stood out to her for its visual aspect was called "I Knew You Were Trouble.".〔 The song was written by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, the latter two also producing the track.〔 When Swift previewed the song on ''Good Morning America'' on October 8, 2012, she said that it was "one of (singer's ) favorite songs on the album because it sounds just as chaotic as the feeling was when I wrote it. The song is about being frustrated with yourself because here you are heart-broken and you knew when you first saw that person you saw all these red flags and you just went for it anyway, so shame on me." Initially the media had speculated the song to be about her ex-boyfriend, singer John Mayer, in light of her previous song "Dear John" from her third studio album, ''Speak Now'' (2010). In an interview with MTV, Swift further explained that the song told the story of a good girl falling for the bad boy and continues about a "toxic relationship" between them, resulting in break-up.
