When the group hits its big, however, they hit it really big: “Pontoon” went double-platinum and nearly cracked the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2012, and “Girl Crush” went triple-platinum and peaked at #18 on the Hot 100 two years later. After listening to “Better Man,”I don’t see that pattern changing anytime soon.ĭespite a career that stretches all the way back to 2002, LBT has a paltry six top-ten singles to show for it. Many were quick to speculate that it had to be based off Swift's relationships with either Tom Hiddleston or Calvin Harris, especially because certain parts of the song coincidentally matched up with key points of each relationship.Little Big Town has perhaps the most appropriate band name in country music: They can have big successes, but it only happens in little doses. While on the surface it clearly seems like this song is about someone breaking up with a man who was no good (despite missing the hell out of him, and let's admit that we've all been there), the world wanted to know one thing: if this was a personal account from Taylor, who is this song about? I warned you that it would make you feel things. I wish it wasn't 4 AM standing in the mirror Saying to myself, you know you had to do it I know the bravest thing I ever did was run Sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand And I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

Grab some tissues, because here's a taste of some of the lyrics: I know I'm probably better off on my own Than loving a man who didn't know what he had when he had it And I see the permanent damage you did to me Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic. The lyrics are heartbreaking and gut-wrenching, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it was so relatable for anyone who's been through a difficult breakup.

The lyrics Swift has penned for this song are pretty revealing, and I think the meaning of Taylor Swift's 'Better Man' proves that we've reached an entirely new level of breakup songs. Seriously, is there anything she can't do? (The answer to that is obviously no.) And if you haven't listened to the song, I highly encourage you to drop whatever you're doing and listen to it now, because it will bring you on an emotional rollercoaster. Case in point: Little Big Town's song 'Better Man' was actually written by our girl T-Swift. She's a successful artist, yes, but she's also a phenomenal songwriter, writing music that she not only sings herself, but for other artists as well. We all know by now that Taylor Swift is one of the many queens of music.

Big is better by song
