"In Your Words" is a song by American singer Rebecca Black. The single was released on November 23, 2012,[1] and the music video was released the same day.

"In Your Words" is an emotional midtempo acoustic guitar-driven country pop song,[1][2][3][4] where Rebecca Black sings that she is "moving on/Cause you set me free/And I'm trying to be as much of myself as if you were here with me...", after breaking up with somebody.[2] Black explained the song in a 2012 interview:

"In Your Words" is one of those songs that was really different for me…because the song that I released last year, "Person of Interest", was talking about a crush and all of that, but this one is a break up song. We wanted to take it more mature because my sound is becoming more mature. The song is about when you break up with someone and all of a sudden you’re just kind of stuck there. You’re stuck with the texts and everything.[5]

Black has also said that her manager "likes to use a term, which is a pretty good analogy, that it's Taylor Swift without the twang."[4]

Critical response

Joann Pan from Mashable praised Rebecca Black's improved vocals and maturity from her previous releases. She wrote about the single: "The catchy song, set to a more leisurely tempo than her previous releases, may be one for the haters who have criticized her looks, singing and lyrics."[6]
