Taylor Swift Songwriting Credits by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's self-titled debut album was released October 24, 2006, through Big Machine Records. Recorded while Swift was in high school, the album is a precocious country record that established her signature approach: confessional, hyper-specific songwriting about teenage romance and heartbreak, delivered with an earnestness that resonated equally with teenagers and adults. She co-wrote all eleven tracks, primarily with Nashville veteran Liz Rose, as well as several as sole author. The album was a slow build commercially, eventually reaching the top five of the Billboard 200 and spawning the hit singles 'Tim McGraw,' 'Teardrops on My Guitar,' 'Our Song,' and 'Should've Said No.' 'Our Song,' written when Swift was a high school freshman, became her first number-one single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and she became the youngest artist to solely write a number-one song on that chart.
