Answer: Our Song

Taylor Swift released "Our Song" as the third single from her self-titled debut album "Taylor Swift". It was written by Swift.

The song reached number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 24 on the US Billboard Pop 100, number 30 on the Canadian Hot 100, and number 41 on the US Billboard Top Hot 100 Hits of 2008.
