That's When
"That's When" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021). Featuring Keith Urban, it is one of the album's "From the Vault" tracks that were intended for but excluded from Swift's second studio album, Fearless (2008). She wrote the song with the Warren Brothers at age 14 and produced it Jack Antonoff. "That's When" is an acoustic country pop and indie folk ballad about the end and aftermath of a relationship: Swift's and Urban's characters contemplate how to reunite with one another.
Critics received "That's When" with generally positive reviews, several of whom praised the collaboration and songwriting. Some commented on the production, while others deemed it underwhelming and derivative. Later reviews of the song were featured in rankings of Swift's repertoire. Commercially, "That's When" peaked at number 130 on the Billboard Global 200 and charted in Australia, Canada, and the United States. It received a gold certification in Australia.
After departing from Big Machine Records and signing a new contract with Republic Records in 2018, Taylor Swift began re-recording her first six studio albums in November 2020. The decision followed a public dispute in 2019 between Swift and the talent manager Scooter Braun, who acquired Big Machine, including the masters of her albums that the label had released. By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine–owned masters.
On February 11, 2021, Swift announced the first of her re-recorded albums, Fearless (Taylor's Version), a re-recording of Swift's second studio album, Fearless (2008). In addition to re-recordings of the original album's tracks, Fearless (Taylor's Version) additionally contained six previously unreleased "From the Vault" tracks, which are songs written for the original album that did not make the cut. Swift explained that these songs were left out of Fearless for various reasons and that including them on the re-recorded album proved that "the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work".
One such "From the Vault" track was "That's When", which Swift wrote with the Warren Brothers—a country music duo composed of Brad and Brett Warren—when she was 14 years old. Swift contacted the Warren Brothers 17 years later to inform them of her intention to release the song, and they responded that it was "the longest hold [they have] ever had". Reflecting back on her unreleased tracks, Swift believed that "That's When" would work better as a duet and could only imagine Keith Urban as the duet partner. Swift previously performed as an opening act at his Escape Together World Tour (2009) when promoting Fearless, and both of them collaborated on Tim McGraw's single "Highway Don't Care" (2013). After that, Swift asked him via text during his Christmas shopping to contribute vocals to the song and the fellow "From the Vault" track "We Were Happy". Urban enjoyed the songs after listening to them in a food court and agreed to include vocals.
On April 3, 2021, "That's When" was confirmed to be one of the "From the Vault" tracks after Swift teased it in a clip containing the title in a scrambled anagram the day before. The song was released as the 24th track on Fearless (Taylor's Version) on April 9. It peaked at number 130 on the Billboard Global 200 and entered the countries of Australia (81) and Canada (63). The song also received a gold certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association. In the United States, "That's When" charted on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Bubbling Under Hot 100, with respective peaks of number thirty and number three. It also reached number 76 on the Rolling Stone Top 100. On May 26, 2021, "That's When" was included in the streaming compilation, Fearless (Taylor's Version): The From the Vault Chapter, which consists of the album's "From the Vault" tracks.
"That's When" is three minutes and nine seconds long. Swift produced the track with Jack Antonoff, who recorded it with Laura Sisk at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and Rough Customer Studio in Brooklyn. Christopher Rowe recorded Swift's vocals at Kitty Committee Studio in London and Nick Rowse recorded Urban's vocals at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney. Antonoff played acoustic, bass, and electric guitars, drums and percussion, Urban played a 12-string guitar, Evan Smith played flutes and saxophones, Mikey Freedom Hart played bass, electric, and pedal steel guitars, Celeste, drums, Hammond B-3, keyboards, piano, Michael Riddleberger played percussion, and Sean Hutchinson played drums. The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach and was mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound in Edgewater.
"That's When" is an acoustic country pop and indie folk ballad about the end and aftermath of a relationship. Set at a moderate tempo of 90 beats per minute, the song combines instruments from the country pop genre such as brush-played drums with more modern sounds like synthesizer layers and drum machine programming. Featuring a pop hook, Swift sings the song's first verse while Urban sings the second, and they harmonize with each other during the chorus. The lyrics discuss whether they should rekindle their relationship: Swift's character wonders if he would come back to her ("When can I come back?") and expresses forgiveness for breaking up with him. Both Swift's and Urban's characters agree to take a break from their relationship to make amends for their mistakes and head towards a brighter future. In Billboard, Jason Lipshutz described the production as "unfussy pop". Bobby Olivier of Spin opined that the song was a "peek into an alternate universe" in which Swift never left Nashville and remained in her trajectory of having a career similar to that of Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert.
