Right all I got was 2 maybe 3 seconds lol

Click on the audio link on the short clip of the music video on TikTok and it will allow 30 seconds of the song to be played.

Her Voice sounds so good, No autotone and it's so upbeat. Now that's my Shania. If this isn't a hit I'd be shocked 

The more I listen to the clip, the more I absolutely love it! It’s like classic Shania/Mutt but with an updated vibe!

She definitely has auto tune on her vocals, but not near as noticeable as NOW. I don’t know what “hits” are considered now a days, but I could see this at country radio, but perhaps it may surprise us.

Tommy, do you think the song will be categorized as “country” on platforms?

I guess so since Shania is "technically" Country. But Country radio stations are not going to play it. It's not Country at all.

Single cover without text

Last March, I suspected Shania of having shot a music video in Ontario with Cole Walliser because she had just added him to her contacts. The latter reacted to her publication for Waking Up Dreaming (while he does not usually interact with Shania). So they must have worked together. Cole Walliser is a Canadian filmmaker and music video producer. He directed videos for P!ink, Katy Perry, Miley Cirus, and so... Shania Twain for "Waking Up Dreaming".

I saw this on Twitter. I don't know where they found it.

Here is an article posted earlier today containing the above picture and confirming the music video will be dropping Friday at 12:01 am ET.

Shania Twain Leaves Little to the Imagination in Fiery New Photo

By Taylor Cunningham | Outsider | September 21, 2022

Country music songstress Shania Twain is baring all for a fiery new photo and proving that man, she feels like a woman.

Ahead of the release of her new single, Waking Up Dreaming, the five-time Grammy winner dropped the steamy pic for her millions of fans. In it, Twain wears only pink knee-high stiletto boots. And she covers the rest with a felt cowboy hat. The singer’s hair is styled in long, loose waves, and she gives a coy smile to the camera.

Waking Up Dreaming serves as Shania Twain’s debut single with Republic Nashville.

“I couldn’t think of a better partner than Republic Nashville,” Twain said in a release. “I’m honored and excited to be the label’s first artist and lead the charge of this new and exciting chapter. In this respect, it feels like a new beginning all around, and I’m embracing it wholeheartedly.”

The anticipated single will be the singer’s first release since her 2017 album, Now. That 16-track record peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Top 100 and Top Country Albums charts. It also topped charts in Australia, Canada, Scotland, and the UK.

“Shania is one of the most influential and impactful artists of this generation,” Republic Records co-founder and CEO Monte Lipman added. “She’s a rare talent whose legacy continues to resonate throughout the world. We feel a tremendous amount of gratitude to support her new body of work, which is spectacular.”

Shania Twain has only dropped five studio albums during her career. But she still manages to hold the title of the top-selling female country pop artist of all time with more than 100 million albums sold worldwide.

Though the singer has been largely out of the music industry for five years, she broke back into the world this year with a Netflix documentary titled Not Just a Girl that highlights her climb to the top of Country music.

Waking Up Dreaming and an accompanying music video drops this Friday, September 23 at 12:01 am. For a second-long teaser of the video, head over to Twain’s TikTok page now. Sadly, the clip doesn’t reveal much more than an 80s theme. But if the photo is a glimpse into the feel of the video and song, we’re sure Shania Twain is storming back into the industry with as much force as she did with her double-platinum debut album nearly three decades ago.
