Taylor Swift has released a re-recorded version of her third album, Speak Now, with some special “From the Vault” tracks that didn’t make the original cut.

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) includes fresh versions of the 16 tracks originally featured on the 2010 project, along with “From the Vault” songs featuring Fall Out Boy and Hayley Williams from Paramore.

On the album, Swift teams with Aaron Dessner once again as co-producer on the vault tracks “Electric Touch,” “When Emma Falls in Love” and “Foolish One.” Jack Antonoff also co-produced three songs with Swift, including “Castles Crumbling,” “I Can See You” and “Timeless,” and the remainder of the project was co-produced by Christopher Rowe.

“It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20,” Swift wrote on socials. “I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall.”

Before the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Swift previewed the song “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” in a trailer for the new season of Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty series.
