The song just reminds me how great The Woman In Me was. Easily one of the best record’s of the 90′s. Makes it all the tougher to take that she become an insufferable pop artist just a few short years later.

Bob, Thomas is correct.

Like Jonathan, this is probably my favorite Shania song too if I must choose one.

…just read the entry about the everly brothers beneath – and guess what, this tune sounds just like one of theirs and it goes well with shania twain.

@Bob they are covering all singles by certain artists. When they are done one artist’s singles, they will add someone else.

I love this song. I love the simplicity of the arrangement, the lyrics, Shania’s vocal performance. It’s pure magic and it is still just as good today as when I listened to it at the age of 8!

The Woman in Me is a FANTASTIC album. I really hope Shania’s next album will be similar in sound.

This was the first track I heard from The Woman In Me. It was on a New Country CD sampler that came with the magazine of the same name.

I had liked the singles off of Twain’s debut, and thought this was a really cool song. Hearing both this and “Whose Bed” before the album came out didn’t prepare me at all for how radical that album would be, yet both songs feel totally in place on it.

Great write-up here, Leeann.

If I can only pick one, this is my favorite Shania single. Here, she gets both halves of “pop-country” exactly right, in a way that few artists have been able to replicate since, and Lange’s production is far lighter-handed here than usual, which makes the single sound effortless even though there’s so much deliberate craft behind it.
