Taylor曾回忆道:
"How can somebody that seems so strong have such a horrible, horrible weakness? Something that is killing her. I always thought that one of the biggest overlooked problems American girls face is insecurity."
在后来的一个采访里,小美女说道“那时候我突然意识到,那些你以为很坚强的人其实没有那么坚强。那段时间很难挨,我写下了这首歌,并且帮她一起度过了难关,她现在挺好的。”
Taylor说:
“One of my best friends is absolutely beautiful. She goes to beauty pageants and wins everything.Girls want to be her and guys want to be with her.I wrote this song the day I found out about her eating disorder.It completely blew my mind, and this one was tough to write, because I wasn't just telling some sad story. This was real.This song is basically about the girls I know, and the difficult things I saw them go through.I've never seen this song as a lecture. It's really about how no matter what my friends go through, I'm always going to love them.”
