Are we not getting another 6 minutes masterpiece?

 Yeah so far it seems like what she's learned is to have a chorus that isn't too substantial and to throw in a lot of repetition.
Crazy to think that she wrote this at 15

				When you think Tim McGraw  
I hope you think my favorite song  
the one we danced to all night long 
a moon like a spotlight on the lake  
when you think happiness  
I hope you think that little black dress  
think of my head on your chest  
and my old faded blue jeans  
when you think Tim McGraw 
I hope you think of me.

To my friends talk to me

 But I know there will be much better written songs on the album so I won't hate on it too much longer.  Haha. But she was already MILES above Max Martin and Shellback in terms of her lyrical abilities before she worked with them so that was a step down for her. That's why her involvement with them makes me pressed. They could learn a few things from her.  She just needs to realize that.
