[edit] Song content
The song tells of a man who has just met a lover with whom he recently split up. Upon encountering her, the singer begs for her to return, provided that she doesn't apologize for his actions. ("Please, just come back home / No, don't say that you're sorry / And I won't say “I told you so”").
"I Told You So" features a strong Celtic influence,[1][2][3], in part due to the use of Uilleann pipes. Snare drums are also used heavily throughout, most notably between the second chorus and bridge. According to the album's liner notes, Urban plays several instruments on the song, including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, ganjo, bouzouki, mandolin, and percussion; he also sings all of the vocal tracks.
The radio edit features a shortened bridge, as well as a slightly truncated outro.
