"You Belong with Me" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was co-written by Swift and Liz Rose. It was released in 2009, from Swift's studio album, "Fearless" (2008). Swift was inspired to write "You Belong with Me" after overhearing a male friend of hers arguing with his girlfriend through a phone call; she continued to develop a story line afterward. The song contains many pop music elements and its lyrics have Swift desiring an out-of-reach love interest.
