"You Belong with Me" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift as the third single from her second studio album Fearless (2008). Big Machine Records released the song to radio on April 20, 2009. Swift was inspired to write "You Belong with Me" after overhearing a telephone call between a touring band member and his girlfriend; she and Liz Rose wrote the lyrics, which discuss an unrequited love. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, "You Belong with Me" has a banjo-led country pop production and incorporates fiddle, mandolin, and rock-influenced bass and electric guitars. Although the single was promoted on country radio, some critics categorized it into 1980s pop subgenres such as pop rock and power pop.

"I Knew You Were Trouble" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her fourth studio album, Red (2012). She wrote it with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. A dubstep and pop track, "I Knew You Were Trouble" has a production based around electric guitars and synthesizers, accentuated its refrain with a wobble bass and Swift's distorted vocals; critics found the dubstep production a radical departure from Swift's previous country pop sounds. In the lyrics, the narrator blames herself for not recognizing the warning signs of a past toxic relationship.

"Take Me to Church" is a song by Irish singer-songwriter Hozier. It was released as his debut single on 13 September 2013, originally featuring on his extended play of the same name, before being featured as the opening track of his 2014 self-titled debut album. A struggling musician at the time of its composition, Hozier wrote and recorded the song in the attic of his parents' home in County Wicklow. A mid-tempo soul song, its lyrics use religious terminology to describe a romantic relationship in the face of Church discrimination. The song caught the attention of Rubyworks Records, where producer Rob Kirwan collaborated with Hozier on the final recording.
