Pernah ngebayangin band pop-punk berkolaborasi dengan penyanyi country? Inilah yang terjadi pada single Two is better than one milik Boys Like Girls yang dinyanyikan bersama taylor swift. Duet ini cukup mengejutkan dan langsung saja mencuri perhatian ketika kamu melihat jejeran traklist di album Lovedrunk. Maklum saja nama taylor swift sedang berada di atas angin! Dan semua orang penasaran mendengarkan lagu ini.
Single ini di buka dengan permainan gitar akustik slow kemudian diikuti oleh nyanyian sang vokalis yang nantinya akan di ikuti oleh Taylor sebagai backing vokal. Mereka menyanyikan lagu ini secara bergantian, saling sahut menyahut. Ketika Taylor mulai bernyanyi solo, iringan orchestra dan band akan menemaninya, memperindah lagunya.
Jelas saja single ini menjadi lagu ballad yang menenangkan dan menyenangkan untuk didengarkan. Boys like girls sepertinya lebih tunduk pada genre taylor sehingga kesan punk mereka tergeser. Yah, anggap saja ini merupakan sisi melakolis mereka disamping rock-punk yang biasanya menghiasi musik-musik mereka. Kalau mereka juga bisa mellow.
Lagu ini dengan cepat bisa akrab di telinga penikmat musik, karena kesederhanaannya, temanya pun universal, Cinta! Makna dari lagu ini pun bisa dengan mudah di tangkap, tentu berpasangan jauh lebih baik dari sendirian. Seperti judul lagunya “Two is Better Than One”, Boys Like Girls menemukan pasangan yang tepat untuk berduet.

Lyrics:
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"
Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
