The album's title came from a childhood song made up by Taylor. "My dad had a friend name Lynn and he had a flower shop called Lynn Teeter Flowers. That recording was just me when I was little — I’d always sing and make up words to songs. And the story behind how I chose it as the title is that I had finished the album but didn’t have a name for it. I was with friends and we were trying to figure out the title really late at night. Then my dad e-mailed me the song and said, “Look what I just found!” When I heard it, I thought, “There it is! There’s the title.” I just thought it sounded cool," Taylor said in a 2008 interview.[4]
