Background and release[edit]
After writing her third studio album Speak Now (2010) entirely solo, Swift opted to collaborate with different songwriters and producers for Red. Thus, she called Max Martin and Shellback, two songwriters and producers whose work she admired, to discuss a possible collaboration. She told Billboard magazine: 'For me, being 22 has been my favorite year of my life. I like all the possibilities of how you're still learning, but you know enough. You still know nothing, but you know that you know nothing. You're old enough to start planning your life, but you're young enough to know there are so many unanswered questions. That brings about a carefree feeling that is sort of based on in-decision and fear and at the same time letting loose. Being 22 has taught me so much'.[1]
The song was officially supposed to impact contemporary hit radio in the U.S. on March 5, 2013, before being pushed back by one week to March 12, 2013,[2] and in the UK on March 31, 2013.[3] An exclusive limited edition individually numbered CD single was also released exclusively to Swift's store on March 13, 2013, the same day the music video was released. The CD single was sold by itself or via an exclusive package with the Red Tour items and a T-shirt.[4][5]
Composition and lyrics[edit]
'22' is a pop[6] song lasting three minutes and 52 seconds, mainly accompanied by a twangy acoustic guitar, invoking a country pop influence from Taylor Swift's conventional repertoire. The song is written in the key of G major with a tempo of 104 beats per minute.[7][8] Swift's vocals span one and a half octaves, between G3 and D5.[7] The song was written by Swift, along with Max Martin and Shellback, who helped her in writing and producing her previous hits 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' and 'I Knew You Were Trouble'. The lyrics describe the joys and the happiness of being 22 years old.[9]
Critical reception[edit]
'22' received positive reviews from critics. Idolator said '22' is a thunderous pop track kicking off with a twangy acoustic guitar riff before a propulsive beat that evokes Katy Perry‘s 'Teenage Dream' drops to make way for verses that are cute and likably bratty'.[10]Digital Spy said 'We're happy free confused and lonely at the same time,' Swift acknowledges over perky guitars, before launching into an earworm chant of 'twenty twooo-oo-oo' that will stubbornly swirl around your head for hours on end. She may have already achieved more during her youth than most do in their lifetime, but with one more pop smash to add to her repertoire, it seems she's only just getting started.', giving the song four out of five stars.[11]
Billboard said that it is 'Swift's most blatantly pop song of her career', adding that:
'22' is all about trying to 'forget about the deadlines' and embraces only the most sugary hooks available. Underneath the heel-clicking positivity and shiny production sits the line 'We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way', a rather stunning meditation on being in your early 20s that's flicked off like a piece of pre-chorus lint. Even when she's having fun, Swift is succinctly communicating conflicting emotion.'[12]
