"Songs About You" is a song originally recorded by American country music artist Mindy McCready for her fifth and final studio album I'm Still Here and later recorded by Canadian country music artist Kira Isabella for her debut studio album, Love Me Like That (2012). Written by Blair Daly, Hillary Lindsey, and Troy Verges, it is the only song on the album which Isabella did not co-write.[1] It was sent to Canadian country radio November 14, 2012 through Sony Music Canada as the album's fourth single.[1]
"Songs About You" is a country and country pop ballad with a duration of three minutes and twenty-five seconds. Its instrumentation consists primarily of guitar, while its lyrics tell the story of a girl who moves on from a dead-end relationship and informs the object of her affection that she is "through singing songs about you." The song's confessional nature has been compared to the work of American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, with Jesse Kinos-Goodin of CBC Music noting that Isablla "certainly has the diary-entry-as-song formula down."[2]
Critical reception
Kayla Tinson at Canadian country music blog Top Country labelled "Songs About You" the highlight of the album, writing that it showcases "a side of Kira we've never seen" and that it is a "brilliantly" written song.[3]
