"You All Over Me"[a] is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, featuring background vocals from American singer Maren Morris. It was released through Republic Records on March 26, 2021, as the second single from Fearless (Taylor's Version). The song was originally written by Swift and Scooter Carusoe in 2008, and was produced by Swift and Aaron Dessner.

The song is a sentimental country pop ballad with fiddles and acoustic guitars. It discusses the narrator's inability to move on from a romantic relationship due to her surroundings that remind her of the past. "You All Over Me" received acclaim from critics, who dubbed it as a tune that evokes nostalgia for Swift's country music, and praised the authentic lyricism. The song debuted atop Billboard Country Digital Songs and Country Streaming Songs, reached number 6 on the combined Hot Country Songs, and number 51 on the Hot 100. It marked her milestone 130th entry on the Hot 100, extending her record as the female artist with the most entries on the chart.

Background and release

Further information: Taylor Swift masters controversy

After the sale of the masters of Taylor Swift's first six studio albums to talent manager Scooter Braun in 2019, Swift announced that she had the intention to re-record the albums.[5] The first of these re-recordings, her second studio album, Fearless, was released on April 9, 2021. Initially released in 2008, the re-recording, dubbed Fearless (Taylor's Version), was announced on February 11, 2021, by Swift on Good Morning America. The day after, February 12, the re-recorded version of her 2008 hit "Love Story", dubbed "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", was released as the lead single.[6] Fearless (Taylor's Version) includes all the songs on the platinum edition of Fearless, along with her 2010 single "Today Was a Fairytale". In addition, Swift included six songs that were scrapped from the original album, all dubbed "from the Vault".[7]

On March 24, 2021, Swift announced that one of the scrapped songs, titled "You All Over Me" featuring vocals from American singer Maren Morris, would be released on March 26 as the second single from Fearless (Taylor's Version).[5][2][8] On the next day, March 25, a snippet of the song was played on Good Morning America.[2]

A demo recording of "You All Over Me" had previously been leaked online in 2017.[9]

Composition and lyrics

"You All Over Me" was written by Swift and Scooter Carusoe in 2008, and was intended for the original version of Fearless, before being scrapped.[2] The song was produced by Aaron Dessner,[1] who previously collaborated with Swift on her 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore.[10] Musically, it is an acoustic country pop song[11][12] with "soaring" fiddles and "lilting" guitars.[12] The song is set in the key of D major with a tempo of 72 beats per minute (BPM). Swift and Morris' vocals in the song span from A3 to B4.[13] Lyrically, the track details not being able to get over an ex. The song also sees Swift sing about acceptance and making peace.[9]

Reception

Critical response

"You All Over Me" received acclaim, with critics praising its authenticity and Swift's return to her country roots. Ellie Bate, writing for BuzzFeed News, called the song a "cozy, nostalgic trip down memory lane", highlighted the similarities between the opening line and the opening line of the title track of Fearless, and noted the fact that both lines reference rain on a sidewalk.[14] Writing for NME, Hannah Mylrea gave the song a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and described it as "a time capsule of the Fearless era" and "musical déjà vu", comparing the song to other Fearless tracks "Come In with the Rain" and "Forever & Always". Mylrea mentioned that Dessner's production of the song "runs the Fearless soundscape through a delicate Folklore-era filter", going on to compare the opening line of the song to Swift's "The Last Great American Dynasty", while also saying the song would "feel at home on one of Swift's lockdown records".[12] Tanvi Dhote of Republic World described the song as "a tale as old as time, but from a modern perspective", and added that the song is an homage to her "country roots". Dhote described Morris' feature on the song as "add[ing] maturity through the fall", and went on to highlight the "sweet reminiscence" in the song by Swift "revisiting [the song] a decade later".[15]

Commercial performance

"You All Over Me" entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs at number six, scoring Swift her 25th top 10 entry on the chart and Morris's seventh; it is also the second consecutive single from Fearless (Taylor's Version) to land inside top-10, after "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" debuted at number one. "You All Over Me" collected 9.2 million streams and sold 12,000 digital downloads in its first week, debuting atop both Country Digital Song Sales and Country Streaming Songs charts. It is Swift's record-extending 16th chart-topper on the former and Morris's fourth. The song further arrived at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the 130th Hot 100 entry of Swift's career, extending her record for the most entries among women.[16]
