<P> After writing Speak Now ( 2010 ) entirely solo , Swift opted to collaborate with different songwriters and producers for Red . Thus , she called Max Martin and Shellback , two songwriters and producers whose work she admired , to discuss a possible collaboration . The trio conceived the concept for `` We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together '' shortly after a friend of Swift 's ex-boyfriend walked into the recording studio and spoke of rumors he heard that Swift and her former flame were reuniting . After the friend left , Martin and Shellback asked Swift to elaborate on the details of the relationship , which she described as `` break up , get back together , break up , get back together , just , ugh , the worst '' . When Martin suggested that they write about the incident . Swift began playing the guitar and singing , `` We are never ever ... '' , and the song flowed rapidly afterwards . She described the process as one of the most humorous experiences she had while recording , and said the musical partners matched her expectations . An audio clip of her sarcastically speaking about breakups can be heard before the final chorus . The song is reportedly about Swift 's ex , Jake Gyllenhaal , as the two had broken up in January 2011 but had been seen on a date a few days later . After the release of the music video , more clues linking the song to Gyllenhaal emerged , with the actor looking like Gyllenhaal , the actor in the video giving her a scarf as Gyllenhaal had reportedly done for Swift and a bracelet Swift wears in the video that is speculated to look similar to that of which Gyllenhaal was rumored to have given Swift for her birthday . </P>
