It's one of those songs that never looses it's impact. The level of songwriting skill and the empathy Taylor had to write this.

[@Kim-zm7dc]

When Taylor got in contact with Maya, she asked if she could write a song about Ronan and donate all the proseeds from the song to cancer research. Taylor also asked for permission to use some of Maya's words from her blog to write the song. So Maya didn't acttually sit down write te song with Taylor but Taylor put her as a co-writer because she used things Maya said on her blog

[@kevinmcconnell3641]

She’s one of those performers that’s just nice! That co-writer credit is going to be quite the blessing for Maya going forward a cause she’ll get a stipend for every copy sold, whether single or album, as well as a stipend every time the song is played. This Taylor Swift is one brutal business person;)!!

[@tlynncharvat]

This song slayed me when I heard it the first time 8 years ago. Taylor took words from Wendy’s blog about her son to write the song. My best friend from high school didn’t lose her 5 year old daughter Amber to cancer, but the carelessness of two drunk drivers who were drag racing their vehicles in the opposite direction. It was 2/11/2011 when Michelle and Amber were having a girls day and while they were getting ready for the day, Amber asked what God’s face looked like. Michelle was hurt bad in the accident also, so when she was given the news that Amber had been killed instantly in the crash, she was understandably devastated. She was then able to hold Amber until she had to go to surgery. Amber’s funeral was one of the hardest experiences ever. At her graveside we released balloons and they formed into the shape of a heart and we all took comfort from it. Like she was saying it’s all going to be okay I know what God looks like now! The trials for the mfers who killed her were horrible and the guy who hit them head on got off Scott free. Michele and her husband weathered the storm by keeping Amber still ever present to this day. Last year she should have graduated from high school and Amber’s parents started a scholarship in her name for one boy and one girl in Clearwater, KS. They are incredible people and I learned a lot about grief with God’s grace.

So the story behind the song is that maya was chronicling the blog and when Taylor was looking for how to deal with a family member who has cancer bc Taylor’s mom has battled cancer for years. She found the blog, and decided to take Mayas own words from the blog and wrote the song. So the song is in mayas words. They didn’t sit down and wrote the song together, rather Taylor used her storytelling skills to add to Mayas own blog entries. Ronans family receives all songwriting royalties from the song because Taylor gave maya the songwriting credit.

As a loss mom myself, i just want to say thank you for reacting to this. Most people skip it and it always makes me feel like crap. Yeah it's tragic but it happened and this helps the world remember him. Sometimes I feel like no one remembers my son but my husband and I. Child loss is taboo and no one wants to talk about it but it happens. You're absolutely right about trying to do something positive to remember them because it's truly all you can do. Great reaction. ❤️
