Meaning and Background

"At one point, I began to understand that it would be harder for me on a smaller record label to get to the places and accomplish the things that artists were accomplishing on bigger record labels. I realized that I wouldn't get favors pulled for me because there weren't any other artists on the label to pull favors from. It was going to be an uphill climb and all that I had to encourage me was the hope that someday things would change. That things would be different. After so many times of just saying that to myself over and over, I finally wrote it down in a song."

- Taylor about The Best Day

Trivia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you Somebody else gets what you wanted again and You know it's all the same, another time and place Repeating history and you're getting sick of it But I believe in whatever you do And I'll do anything to see it through [Chorus] Because these things will change Can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down This revolution, the time will come For us to finally win And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah Oh, oh [Verse 2] So we've been outnumbered, raided, and now cornered It's hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair We're getting stronger now, finding things they never found They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared You can walk away, say we don't need this But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this [Chorus] 'Cause these things will change Can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down This revolution, the time will come For us to finally win And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah Oh, oh [Bridge] Tonight we stand, get off our knees Fight for what we've worked for all these years And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives But we'll stand up champions tonight [Chorus] It was the night things changed Can you see it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down It's a revolution, throw your hands up 'Cause we never gave in And we'll sing hallelujah, we sang hallelujah Hallelujah
