Officially released to radio in April 2009, the song debuted at #32 on the Hot Country Songs charts on the chart week of May 2, 2009.
The video shows how a dorky, nice girl with a crush on her hunky neighbor, win him over with the power of her love competing against his pretty, sexy cheerleader girlfriend.
Swift plays both the girls while Till plays their love interest.
Swift recalls how she roped in Lucas for the two days shoot at the Pope John Paul II High School in her hometown Hendersonville, Tennessee, where her younger brother goes to school.
"[Till] was recently in the 'Hannah Montana' movie and I met him about a year back and just kind of reached out and was like, 'Hey, want to be in the video?' And he accepted and I'm just really happy to have him in the video," she says.
Elaborating on the song’s background Swift said:
"I came into the writing session with Liz Rose and said….I’ve got this idea. I had overheard a friend of mine talking to his girlfriend and he was completely on the defensive saying, 'No, baby...I had to get off the phone really quickly...I tried to call you right back...Of course I love you. More than anything! Baby, I’m so sorry.' She was just yelling at him! I felt so bad for him at that moment. So I came up with the first line 'You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she’s upset, going off about something that you said', and I ran that into the story line that I’m in love with him and he should be with me instead of her. It just became this whole picture. It was really fun for us to write the line, 'She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts'"
