Produced by Swift along with Nathan Chapman, it was released as the lead single from Swift's third studio album, ''Speak Now'' (2010) by Big Machine Records. Following an unauthorized internet leak, the song was released on August 4, 2010, two weeks earlier than the intended release date. Swift was inspired to write "Mine" after reflecting on one of her unnamed crushes and explained that the song is about her tendency to run from love. The song contains elements of pop music and its lyrics speak of the ups and downs of a young love. Critical reception for "Mine" was mostly positive. Swift was praised for her ability to show a mature perspective on love, although some critics called the song "formulaic" for resonating her earlier works, notably "Love Story". The song was commercially successful, as well; it became a top ten hit in Australia, Canada and Japan. The single was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). In the United States, the song entered the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at number three, making Swift the second female artist in the history of the Hot 100 to debut multiple tracks in the top five during a calendar year after Mariah Carey did so in 1995. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Roman White. The video chronicles the romantic relationship between Swift and her love interest played by British actor Toby Hemingway which ends with a marriage. The music video was met with great appraise from contemporary critics who deemed it as "rather sweet," and "heartwarming." The song was performed live at numerous venues to promote ''Speak Now''. The music video received the coveted Video of the Year Award in the CMT Music Awards 2011. The song was featured on an episode of ''Glee'' titled "The Break Up" sung by Naya Rivera (Santana Lopez) and was also covered by Maroon 5. ==Background and release== In an interview with ''Rolling Stone'', Swift revealed that "Mine" was inspired by an unnamed crush in mind, saying "I was reflecting back on a boy I liked at a certain time."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =Taylor Swift "Mine Was Written About A Boy I Liked" )〕 She also told MTV that the song is about what it would be like if she actually let her guard down. During a live Ustream chat with fans on July 20, 2010, Swift explained that the song is about "her tendency to run from love" after seeing many relationships end in goodbye and breakups. She continued, "I think I've developed this pattern of sort of running away when it comes time to fall in love and to stay in a relationship. The song is sort of about finding the exception to that and finding someone who would make you believe in love and realize that it could work out."〔 "Mine" was one of the fourteen tracks in ''Speak Now'' that was written solely by Swift. She also co-produced the song with Nathan Chapman, who co-produced all of Swift's studio albums. It was originally planned to be released on August 16, 2010, however, after the leak of an unauthorized low-quality mp3 file of the song, Big Machine Records decided to ship the song to country radio and iTunes twelve days earlier than planned on August 4, 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =Taylor Swift Brings Forward Mine Release Date )〕 Swift commented that "a leak is so out of my comfort zone, but it ended up good in the end. It made me so emotional that I started crying."〔 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「Mine (Taylor Swift song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
