Shania Twain Didn’t Want to Perform ‘You’re Still the One’ Following Her Divorce

Shania Twain still thinks this song is the one, despite how it came to be.

Speaking with ETalk in a TikTok video originally shared on YouTube on Aug. 11, the country star, 60, reflected on the 1997 song “You’re Still the One,” which she wrote with her ex-husband, music producer Robert “Mutt” Lange.

“Well, I’m not just saying this because it seems obvious, but ‘You’re Still the One’ really is one of my favorites to do live,” Twain began.

“I’ve gone through quite a few stages with that song of, not really even wanting to sing it live for a while, just thinking, ‘Well, okay, I’m divorced now, does it really mean what it used to mean when I wrote it?’ ”

However, Twain now has a “newfound appreciation” for the song again. “I have for a while.”

“It’s mostly fans, fans love it, they want to hear it. It means so much to them in so many ways. They’re either getting married to it, or have been married to it, or had an anniversary, or a friendship, or whatever it is.

“It’s more the meaning that it is, or that it represents, to everybody else that makes it so meaningful to me again,” added Twain.

The Queen of Country Pop also mentioned that she is “in the middle of making” a seventh album. “It’s going to be different than maybe what anyone is expecting. There’s a lot of storytelling in this album,” she teased.

“You’re Still the One” was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1999 and took home two: Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. It was also nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

It spent 42 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 1 on May 2, 1998, for two weeks.

Twain and Lange, 76, were married from 1993 until 2008. They share 24-year-old son Eja. She is currently married to Frédéric Thiébaud, with whom she tied the knot on New Year’s Day in 2011.

Twain spoke to PEOPLE in February about being “put in a box” by the music industry, by fans and executives. “If I feel like I’m being put in a box, I start to panic,” Twain said at the time. “I run in any direction I can because I don’t want to be contained. I have to be able to find my own way.”

“Sometimes I’m not even sure where I’m going myself. How can somebody else tell me that, right? So I need the freedom to explore and to land wherever that exploration takes me,” added Twain.

Twain also said that it’s “really great to see” artists go beyond their typical genre of music. “I’m always championing anybody that does things that are unexpected by the industry, or unexpected by the audience.”

“They may not have seen it coming, but the artist does have a sense of where they want to go exploring, and I really think it’s wonderful that they do, that they explore it, and they take it to whatever limit interests them.”
