 In the ballad "Breathe", the accompaniment consists entirely of string instruments, and Swift singing in regards to love-gone-wrong scenario.The song was a collaboration between Swift and Caillat that surged out of Swift's interest in Caillat's debut "Coco" (2007).The two arranged a writing session to coincide with Caillat's upcoming concert in Nashville, Tennessee, where they composed "Breathe" about Swift losing a friend very dear to her.
