Although the single was promoted to country radio by Big Machine Records, critics deemed it a pop song that stylistically aligns with 1980s subgenres such as pop rock and power pop. Swift and Nathan Chapman produced "You Belong with Me", which features a banjo-led production and incorporates fiddle, mandolin, and rock-influenced bass and electric guitars. Inspired by a phone call between a member of her touring band and his girlfriend that she overheard, Swift wrote the song with Liz Rose to depict a narrator's unrequited love for a boy unappreciated by his girlfriend. It was released to US radio on April 20, 2009, as the third single from her second studio album, Fearless (2008). " You Belong with Me" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
