"In Your Words" is a song by American singer Rebecca Black. The single was released on November 23,2012, [1] and the music video was released the same day.
"In Your Words" is an emotional midtempo acoustic guitar-driven country pop song, [1] [2] [3] [4] where Rebecca Black sings that she is "moving on/Cause you set me free/And I'm trying to be as much of myself as if you were here with me...",after breaking up with somebody. [2] Black explained the song in a 2012 interview:
"In Your Words" is one of those songs that was really different for me…because the song that I released last year, "Person of Interest", was talking about a crush and all of that, but this one is a break up song. We wanted to take it more mature because my sound is becoming more mature. The song is about when you break up with someone and all of a sudden you’re just kind of stuck there. You’re stuck with the texts and everything. [5]
Black has also said that her manager "likes to use a term, which is a pretty good analogy, that it's Taylor Swift without the twang." [4]
Joann Pan from Mashable praised Rebecca Black's improved vocals and maturity from her previous releases. She wrote about the single: "The catchy song, set to a more leisurely tempo than her previous releases, may be one for the haters who have criticized her looks, singing and lyrics." [6]
Filming for the video was finished in October 2012, and behind-the-scenes photos for the video were released less than a week after the video was done shooting. [7] A teaser of the video was uploaded on November 9, 2012, [8] and the video was officially released the same day as the single. Black said about the video:
The writing on those walls kind of represent everything that it made me feel, and how to let it out; kind of closure; acting out what the words meant and kind of how it makes me feel. There is a point when I’m on the roof of the house reading through letters, and just going through that idea of "the letters in the text." [5]
The song was performed live by Rebecca Black for her debut concert at the House of Blues on December 24, 2012. [4]
