== Background ==
"Speak Now" was written by Swift, as were all the tracks for the album. The song was inspired by the story of her friend and her high school boyfriend. The couple went their separate ways after high school – with the idea that they would get back together. One day, Swift's friend informed Swift that her high school boyfriend would soon wed. "He had met this girl who's just this horrible, mean person who made him completely stop talking to all of his friends, cut off his family. She had him so completely isolated," said Swift. She asked her friend if she would "speak now." Perplexed, her friend asked for an explanation, and she answered, "You know, storm the church. 'Speak now or forever hold your peace.' I'll go with you. I'll play guitar. It'd be great."〔 Swift's friend found this to be humorous, laughing at the idea.〔
After speaking with her friend, Swift became deeply fixated on the idea of how tragic it would be for the person one loved to wed someone else. That night, Swift experienced a dream where one of her own ex-boyfriends married another girl. To her, this signaled that she had to compose a song about interrupting a wedding. In retrospect, she concluded, "For me, I like to think of it as good versus evil. And this girl is just completely – just the evil one."〔 Swift entitled the album after "Speak Now" because it fit the album's concept, with each song being a different confession to a person.〔 "It's called ''Speak Now'', and that pertains to the album as a concept and as an entire theme of the record more than I can even tell you," she said. The song was released as a promotional single on October 5, 2010, as part of Countdown to ''Speak Now'', an exclusive campaign launched by the iTunes Store. During the opening week of ''Speak Now'', Swift performed "Speak Now" on the ''Late Show with David Letterman''.
