Shania Twain has rediscovered her connection to one of her most iconic songs, “You’re Still the One,” despite the emotional challenges it represented after her divorce. In a candid chat with ETalk, the country-pop legend revealed that she initially struggled to perform the 1997 hit after parting ways with its co-writer and then-husband, Robert John “Mutt” Lange: “I was thinking, ‘Well, okay, I’m divorced now. Does it really mean what it used to mean when I wrote it?’”
Over time, though, something shifted. Twain attributed her renewed passion for the song to fans—many of whom continue to cherish it for weddings, anniversaries, and milestone moments. She explained, “It’s more the meaning that it … represents to everybody else that makes it so meaningful to me again.”
Originally a crossover smash from her Come On Over era, the song won Twain two Grammys and claimed a beloved spot on countless playlists.
Today, at 60 years old, she’s channeling that emotional journey into her next phase: a seventh studio album she promises will break expectations—and spotlight her gift for storytelling. For Twain, the song now shines not as a relic of the past, but as a bridge between her own artistic healing and the timeless way music connects us all.
