Our Song- Taylor Swift (Music Video)

“Our Song” is a single by country pop artist Taylor Swift. It was released to radio on August 22, 2007, as the third single from her triple platinum album, Taylor Swift. The song became Swift’s first Number One in December 2007, also making her the youngest artist to be the sole writer of a Number One country song.

Swift wrote the song for a ninth grade talent show. Swift said on her MySpace page that it was released because of the large reaction it gets from fans at her shows and online. She also stated it was one of her best-selling songs on iTunes.

Music video

The video for “Our Song” was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered on Country Music Television in September 2007. It reached #1 on CMT’s Top Twenty Countdown on November 22, 2007, and remained there for four weeks. It then reached the top spot once again on January 17, 2008. The video won the 2008 CMT Music Awards Video of the Year award. The song talks about her relationship with then boyfriend Tim Leavitt, according to Swift “We had a strong relationship and we had a lot of fun those years, and we still do, but we are just friends now”. The video has been viewed over 23,000,000 times on YouTube.

Chart performance

On the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated for the week of September 2, 2007, “Our Song” debuted at No. 55. The song reached No. 1 on the chart week of December 22, 2007, when it moved up from the No. 6 position. The five-notch jump to No. 1 was the biggest on the Hot Country Songs chart since January 1998, when Tim McGraw’s “Just to See You Smile” also moved up from #6 to Number One.

With six weeks at No. 1, “Our Song” forged a four-way tie for the second-longest running No. 1 by a female artist in the history of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Other songs also spending six weeks atop the chart are “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” by Kitty Wells (in August 1952), “Breathe” by Faith Hill (January 2000) and “Jesus, Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood (February 2006). Only Connie Smith’s “Once a Day” had a longer reign, accomplishing its feat in January 1965.

“Our Song” eventually became a crossover hit, becoming Swift’s first Top 20 entry on the Billboard Hot 100. The song eventually peaked at No. 16.

Our Song became the number 1 song of 2008 on the Bob Kingsley Countdown year end special.
