"You're Not Sorry" is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her second studio album, Fearless (2008). She was inspired to write "You're Not Sorry" by an ex-boyfriend who she realized was the contrary to what he had appeared to be. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, "You're Not Sorry" is a rock power ballad that incorporates piano and dynamic electric guitars. Big Machine Records released the song for download via the iTunes Store on October 28, 2008. A remix was released for the television episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, in which Swift made an appearance. Some critics praised Swift's songwriting but others took issue with the balladic production as overdone.
"You're Not Sorry" peaked at number 11 on both the Canadian Hot 100 and the US Billboard Hot 100, and it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Swift performed "You're Not Sorry" at the 44th Academy of Country Music Awards in 2009. She included the song on the set lists of two tours: the Fearless Tour (2009–2010) and the Speak Now World Tour (2011–2012). Following the 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of Swift's back catalog, she re-recorded the song as "You're Not Sorry (Taylor's Version)" for her re-recorded album Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021). Music critics commented that the re-recorded song showcased Swift's improved vocals. "You're Not Sorry (Taylor's Version)" charted in Canada and on the Billboard Global 200.
