Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I can only say "Yesssss"!!!!
We knew it about "LATGG". We were right in guessing about that song.
Too bad they don't say "when" in June.

Matthew Koma produced the lead single "Life's About To Get Good".

They were taking about the new music on ABC's "Good Morning America". The host also said "the singer is set to hit the road this Summer" (even though no announcement has been made). Then they said she'll be headlining Stagecoach on Saturday.

Shania's new music was also talked about on NBC's "Today" show. The host said something like "how great would it be if she was part of our Summer Concert Series."

Shania Twain Announces New Single 'Life's About to Get Good,' First Album in 15 Years

By Colin Stutz | Billboard | April 25, 2017

Shania Twain has announced plans to release her first album in 15 years, led by the single "Life's About to Get Good" that's scheduled to arrive in June.

The title for the new set has not yet been revealed; it is due out in September.

Twain made the announcement during her appearance on The Voice Monday night, where she appeared as the first-time-ever fifth judge on the show and a key adviser to the contestants.

When writing "Life's About to Get Good," Twain explained in a statement, "I was at home looking out at the ocean and I said to myself, 'Here I am stuck in this past of negativity, but it's so beautiful out. I'm not in the mood to write a 'feeling-sorry-for-myself' song.... You can't have the good without the bad. And that's what the song ended up being about."

Twain's last album, Up!, was released Nov. 18, 2002 and topped the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Guests at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, will be the first to hear Twain's new material, as she headlines the country music extravaganza this weekend.

Here are the lyrics to "Life's About To Get Good" which were posted in a Facebook group. They say the lyrics are 98% correct.

I wasn’t just broken
I was shattered
I trusted you so much
You're all that mattered
You no longer loved me
I didn't seem to matter
I couldn’t move on and…
You were flattered

Shania's New Song in Official NBC Winter Olympics Ad!

This is awesome!

Watch NBC’s Winter Olympics Ad With New Shania Twain Song ‘Life’s About to Get Good’ (EXCLUSIVE)

By Daniel Holloway (Senior TV Reporter) | Variety | May 5, 2017

NBC is set to unveil a new promo for the upcoming Winter Olympics featuring Shania Twain’s new song “Life’s About to Get Good.” The 60-second ad will make its television premiere during the network’s broadcast of the Kentucky Derby, around 6 p.m. ET Saturday.

The ad stars U.S. Olympians including Shaun White, Lindsey Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin, Gus Kenworthy, Nathan Chen, Ashley Wagner, Chloe Kim, and more. It was filmed over three shoots at Lake Placid, N.Y.; Mammoth Mountain, Calif.; and the East West Ice Palace in Los Angeles.

“Whether it’s entertainment focused or sports-focused like the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, we have a lot of opportunities to bring the Olympics and Olympic message and storylines to life,” says NBC Sports chief marketing officer Jenny Storms. “We have a detailed timeline in a two-year cycle prior to the Olympics. We want to make sure that we are hitting all of those events and we’re hitting them very relevantly and authentically.”

The Kentucky Derby is a unique opportunity to promote the upcoming Winter Games, which begin February in PyeongChang, South Korea. The Derby, the Winter Olympics, and the Summer Olympics are the only three major sporting events whose viewership skews more heavily female than male. Last year’s Derby averaged roughly 15 million viewers.

“This is probably the audience that is closest to an Olympic audience,” Storms says. “Going into this, we knew that we wanted to speak to that broader base that would be enjoying the Derby.”

“Life’s About to Get Good” is the soon-to-be-released first single from Twain’s new album “Triumphant,” scheduled to debut in September — and her first album since 2002. Twain is the sole writer on the song.

“We’re always looking for a great piece of music to help tell the story,” Storms says. “Especially when it’s the Olympics, you have an opportunity to tell a great story. This piece of music, ‘Life’s About to Get Good,’ speaks so perfectly to what we’re talking about.”

"It killed me that you'd give your life to be with her" and... "time to forget you forever" ...It still shocks me that Mutt gave up stunning Shania, the mother of his only child to be with homely Marie Anne.

Seriously? So it would be way better if Shania wasn't so hot to cheat on her? I really hate this type of attitude and I have seen it in so many comments. Cheating is cheating. Whether your wife is a video babe or just some homely housewife. Not defending Mutt's cheating but perhaps he doesn't find Mary Ann as hideous as others find her....obviously since he ditched "perfect" Shania for her. Perhaps he loves her personality and found Shania to be a royal pain in the *ass (again not defending the cheating part) but it is just a ridiculous mindset to have that a beautiful woman cannot be cheated on and somehow the slight and offense is that must worse if it does indeed happen. I'm sure the glow of Shania's looks wore off a long, long time ago for Mutt and it then came down to personality (unlike fans who obsess about it)....

Sure, he was a pig for cheating on her. He should have asked for a divorce. But just because Shania is so hot doesn't make her personality behind the scenes hot as well.....we don't know what goes on behind closed doors...Shania didn't as well given the fact at how blindsided she was by her betrayal-- obviously she really, really missed the signs..... 

Shania herself keeps on saying how positive and optimistic the song is. 

Even if the first two verses are quite dark actually.

Somebody just posted this on another message board.

I spend a lot of time analyzing the arrangements of Shania's songs because I make instrumentals of them as a hobby. I grew up listening to both versions of the Up! album. I'm surprised you guys didn't notice something. Listen to the "studio version" of LATGG. What do you hear? Electronic drum beat, loud strings, heavy bass, wild synth, lots of background vocals. Same instruments as Party For Two with Mark McGrath. The voice at the beginning of the song when the piano is playing feels like an RnB thing.

What don't you hear? Country instruments. It's the pop version! There's two versions of the song. And if there's two versions of the song, there's two versions of the album!

Think about it. There has to be. Country radio won't play synthy pop songs. But she's not going to alienate a portion of her fans with an album full of banjo, mandolin and fiddle. Fans who came to know her through the "crossover" hits. Some of her fans don't even like country music. She wants to win over as many new fans as possible all around the world. And why would she introduce the song with a completely different version at Stagecoach, a country music festival. Where's the banjo? You can tell this version is "too pop" for country radio. But I'm not knocking it, it's a great song and I enjoy all her songs, regardless of how "country" or "pop" they are. And there's nothing I love more than having two versions. Maybe this explains some of the delays in the album release.

I have to say I wondered the same thing when I first heard the studio version in the Olympics commercial. The version she played at Stagecoach was pure country, from the beginning to the end while the Olympics one is pure pop.
I wondered why playing a different version of the song live instead of the original one: it was the first time ever anyone was listening to the song, so it didn't make sense.
I didn't think there could be two versions of the album because she keeps on saying to forget the music she's done with Mutt but thinking about it, it makes sense to have different versions like she's always done. The market is wider even outside the US, and even radio that don't play country can play her song(s).

And on a side note, we fans are super-happy about it, because we have more Shania to listen to Lol.

So, I'm with you. There will be two versions: country and pop.

I'm curious to see if they will release a two-cds set like they've done with "Up!" or there will be two separate Cds like it's been done with "Come on Over".

The thing is, we still know so little about this new project that we can only speculate about it. Hell, we don't even know the "LATGG" release date... June is a little vague... there are 30 possible days 

I just saw the promo on Facebook. I'm super excited about it!!! June seems so far away.

Singles are usually released on Thursday. So I bet "LATGG" will be released June 15th or 16th.

Great to hear she's performing on the TODAY show. I say yes to her performing at the CMT awards at this point, because she needs to get the news out about her new single to casual country music fans. There'll probably be a music video coming out around that time as well I assume so we might hear something about that soon. And the official album announcement of course.

About the lyrics, they are so hard to hear and you hear different things when you listen different ways so I don't think anyone can be 100% sure until we hear a high quality studio version of the song. 1 part I'm not sure about:

It took me so long to be strong

But I'm alive and I hold on to
What I can feel, yeah hearts heal
Oh I'm alive...

Mmmmm
(About to get good)
Ohhhhh
(About to get good)
Whoahhhhh alive... <<<<<< that's how I know it's "Oh I'm alive..." up above
(About to get ah...)

Tonight I got to meet one of my favorite artists of all time... Shania Twain... and tell her exactly why her music means so much to me. It was a moment. As if listening to tracks from her upcoming album wasn't enough, it was refreshing to hear an artist be so humble and honest about still having to work hard and engage with the fans and media; especially at her caliber of reconnaissance and talent. There's no putting other artists down or need to shock anyone; just hard work.

Some of you are missing the point, I am actually impressed she's going to sing live on the Today show, I do believe as time nears closer to the single release she's going to promote it more. I also believe in September is where she will make even bigger and more appearances when the album time release date nears. Yes Shania will do Good Morning America, As to when I'm not sure
