歌曲的歌詞由泰勒·斯威夫特個人創作完成,音樂製作由內森·查普曼、丹恩·哈夫、伊利亞·托什斯基、喬納森·尤肯等人負責。泰勒·斯威夫特在接受採訪時表示,這首歌與她個人的情感生活有關。之所以用這首歌的名字來命名自己的第四張專輯《Red》,也是因為這首歌的歌詞包含了專輯中所有歌曲的主題內容。

《Red》融合了鄉村流行樂、另類鄉村、慢搖滾以及成人時代等音樂風格,其開頭使用了鄉村音樂必用的樂器——班卓琴開場。然而,《Red》並不單單是班卓鄉村樂的展現,其高潮部分不斷疊加的電音人聲音效,將“Red”這一單詞反覆的體現出來了。而歌詞的開頭內容:“愛他的感覺猶如將嶄新的瑪莎拉蒂開向絕路”,則顯得讓人感到非常痛苦、沮喪,其內容比任何陳詞濫調的童話故事還要直接。
《Red》的歌曲MV於2013年7月3日上傳在Vevo和YouTube上(等同於官方發布),其內容包含了泰勒·斯威夫特,在個個不同的“紅巡迴演唱會”上演出時拍攝的短片,整個視頻畫面均圍繞著“紅巡迴演唱會”,展示了不同的舞台元素,其中還包括大量的服裝變化、備用的舞者表演等畫面,視頻時長超過4分鐘。
