Not Single[edit]

The sorce given saying that this Back to December is a single is incorrect.This song was released as a promotional single,along with Speak Now(song),"Mean" & "The Story of Us".Apple48 (talk) 07:52, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has been released as a single with an accompanying music video. — My December ^(talk) 16:16, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Release date discussion[edit]

I changed the date to the purchasable date, as that's the date most singles use. But I just thought I'd bring it up here for discussion. It was previously released in October, but as simply a promo single, so that doesn't have much effect on the official release. I just wanted to know what everyone else thinks about what date should be used. ℥^nding·start 03:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I support using the purchasable date. Previously issued as a promo, now a single. So, single date should be used. I don't think radio dates should be used, as some songs pick up airplay even before their release. Novice7 | Talk 04:03, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I support being the purchasable date as well, I was want to see if we could all get on the same page. :) ℥^nding·start 04:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't we just put "see history" there which links to the release history section in order to solve this matter? This is just a suggestion. — My December ^(talk) 14:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what that's about. It's about which date we should go by for official release. Most articles go by the purchasable date, and I changed it to it, but some people disagreed, and haven't contributed to the discussion here. This is kind of similar to Hard (song). It was sent to radio a few months before it's official physical release date. ℥^nding·start 20:19, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I asked for an opinion on the matter of radio date vs. purchase date at the WP:Albums talk page, so perhaps this can be of some help here. Dan56 (talk) 22:49, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Remixes[edit]

There are 3 remixes that have been official released of this song, a pop mix which is available on iTunes, an acoustic version which is available on the Target exclusive Speak Now Deluxe edition and a radio edit which is also available for download on iTunes. These official remix releases need to be posted on the Back to December page and left on there.

Do you have a reliable source for this? Yves (talk) 18:17, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes several, I own the Target Exclusive Deluxe Edition of Speak Now and the acoustic version of this song is a bonus track on the album check if you must look I got the link here http://www.target.com/Speak-Now-Deluxe-CD-Target/dp/B004008F58/. The pop mix and the radio edit are on YouTube, how they were gotten is unknown (possibly another leak lol) but I have heard both. Actually the radio edit plays on the radio and first time I heard it I was mad it was shortened lol.

The International version of Back to December is in fact the Pop Mix and I'm sure is available for digital download on the UK iTunes. JamesAlan1986 (talk) 18:37, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added the Back to December (Acoustic) and the International Verion as they are both on amazon and they are referenced on the main page.

Length[edit]

I remember the length previously read - 4:54 (main version) and 4:07 (radio version) but it doesn't say that anymore. I'm not going to make that edit so it says that again because I don't want to edit war with anyone. And I do believe that would be edit warring. I can't help but notice that the version that is played on the radio is shorter than the version on the album, with a shorter intro, a shorter instrumental break and finally only one "all the time" line in the ending instead of two as heard on the album version.--Kevjgav (talk) 21:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
