In the early days of her career, Swift routinely wrote songs for other artists. “I’m so grateful to for doing that, and now I get to put out my version of it, so pretty fun moment,” Swift said before releasing Red (Taylor’s Version). Though fans missed out on Swift’s version of the song back in 2012 with the original release of Red, the re-recorded version of the album delivered a new take on the hit. I think I chose ‘All Too Well’ over ‘Better Man.'” “And it was a song that I really thought belonged on the album and there were just too many songs I loved that I had written in that period of time, so some of them had to be left off. “That was an actual visual from my life that ended up being the first thing I wrote, and then I expanded outward from there,” she continued. “And I remember standing in front of a mirror-I think the first thing I thought of was, ‘I wish it wasn’t 4 am, standing in a mirror, saying to myself, ‘you know you had to do it.’
“I was on tour, and I wrote it alone in a hotel room,” Swift once told Amazon Music (per Genius). As made very obvious by the release of her own version of the track, Taylor Swift penned “Better Man.” Because of the stunning harmonies present in the chorus, Swift felt the song would be a better fit for Little Big Town.
