About the song

When Shania Twain released “You’re Still The One” in 1998, she wasn’t just putting out another country-pop hit—she was rewriting the rules of what a romantic ballad could sound like in the late 90s. At a time when grunge was fading and bubblegum pop was on the rise, Twain delivered something timeless: a love song that spoke to endurance, commitment, and staying power in a world that often idolized fleeting passion.

The track, co-written with her then-husband and producer Robert “Mutt” Lange, was more than autobiographical—it was an anthem for couples who had weathered storms and silenced doubters. “They said, ‘I bet they’ll never make it’ / But just look at us holding on,” Twain sings with warm defiance. These lines weren’t just catchy; they were real. The song resonated deeply with fans who saw their own love stories in every lyric.

With its lush production, gentle guitar strums, and Twain’s emotionally rich vocal delivery, “You’re Still The One” blurred genre lines. It became a massive crossover success, climbing both the Billboard Hot 100 and Country charts, and earned Twain two Grammy Awards. More than just a hit, it became a slow-dance staple at weddings and anniversaries—a soundtrack to real-life romance.

What makes the song endure today is its authenticity. While many love songs paint an idealized picture of new love, Twain focused on the beauty of long-lasting connection. She gave voice to those who had fought for their relationship, and she did it with elegance and strength.

Even decades later, “You’re Still The One” feels as fresh and meaningful as it did in the 90s. It’s a reminder that true love isn’t flashy or fleeting—it’s about showing up, every day, for the one who still makes your heart skip a beat. And that’s what makes this song a true classic.

Lyrics

Hmm yeah eh eh
Looks like we made it
Look how far we’ve come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday
They said, “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together, still going strong
Mm (you’re still the one)
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
Ain’t nothin’ better
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
They said, “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together, still going strong
oh
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
You’re still the one
Yeah (you’re still the one)
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life, oh yeah (you’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
I’m so glad we made it
Look how far we’ve come, my baby
