Setelah sukses membawakan single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" secara perdana di MTV VMAs 2012, Taylor kembali menampilkan sebuah lagu baru (bukan bagian dari RED) dalam event Stand Up For Cancer. Lagu ini Taylor ciptakan sebagai lagu amal yang semua keuntungan penjualannya akan disalurkan sebagai dana riset kanker. Bukan hal mengejutkan lagi jika ini datangnya dari Taylor Swift karena penyanyi asal Amerika ini sudah sangat dikenal dengan kontribusi besarnya terhadap bidang sosial. Lagu tersebut berjudul "RONAN" yang menceritakan tentang seorang anak berusia 4 tahun bernama Ronan yang meninggal satu tahun lalu akibat penyakit neuroblastoma. Taylor menciptakan lagu ini setelah membaca blog yang ditulis Ibunya Ronan, Maya Thompson yang juga sekaligus menjadi co-writer dalam pembuatan lagu ini.

Berikut lirik lagu Ronan :
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own 
secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking 
me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, from even that moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you

REFF:
Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember the drive home when the blind hope
Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?"
Flowers piled up in the worst way
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died

And it's about to be Halloween 
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
I whispered in your ear

Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room in this hospital
We'll just disappear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you

Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back


Taylor Menyanyikan RONAN di Stand Up For Cancer : 


 Dengan iringan piano, gendang dan petikan gitar yang lembut membuat lagu ini terdengar sangat menyentuh dan emosional. Taylor bahkan terlihat menangis seusai menyanyikan lagu Ronan.

Setelah Taylor menyanyikan Ronan, lagu tersebut langsung diupload di iTunes dan penjualannya terus meningkat hingga berhasil menduduki posisi #1 di iTunes, menggeser lagu Taylor Swift "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" ke posisi #2. Dalam event ini juga terdapat banyak artis ternama yang ikut berkontribusi seperti Tom Hanks, Sofia Vergara, Julia Roberts, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Emma Stone, Justin Timberlake dan Jessica Biel, dll.
