She revealed some of the lyrics from "Best Friend" on her Instagram stories.

"When you forget where you belong
I put on my favorite song to remind you
You're my best friend, that's who you are
You're my best friend, that's who you are"

matteotempo · Guru

Pretty Liar:

"So you got a big gun
And you really wanna come
Show me how you wave It
But save it for someone who cares"
😂😂😂

Koko Twain · Senior Member

"Number One" is a disco-pop song !

Melissa · Senior Member

I think the album will sell well, Best friend sounds good anymore samples of the other songs? She is promoting the album she doing alot of Tv interviews that seem to be airing the day before the album release or the day after. I think she doing a massive tour, Helps because fans tend too buy albums at concerts. Let's face it radio just won't get on board however she has other platforms to use. I Wonder if she will release another promo before next Friday? Also wondering will there be a third single

I love her voice here. 15 seconds are not enough to judge the song but sounds like a ballad. It makes sense, after WUD and before "Pretty Liar".

Now I want a snippet of Pretty Liar.

I'll give her credit, She's doing alot of Tv interviews and they will all will air the day of the album release or before. It's a brilliant idea. Probably more after the release date. Her and her team know what they are doing. Skip radio and do the popular TV shows. She had to do that with even some of her big albums. Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify and Twitter and more. She knows what she's doing. Also it promotes her tour. If the album gets positive reviews I expect sales to be good. You go Shania even if you don't sing the singles do what you are doing. Then she's gonna promote it hard it the UK. I believe the ET Canada is a full episode ain't it Tommy? Which is amazing if the case. I also believe she will do some more Canada interviews. Probably been already recorded in Vegas. good Morning American or The Ryan and Kelly Show seem possible but they might be in New York. I don't see any big albums out next week so a Top 100 album isn't out of the question. If fans like the album and the reviews are good maybe then radio will play her. I will be impressed if she hit the top 100 without Radio promotion which is seeming likely. I think sales will do much better than Now.

Every time that you lay in my arms

And you saying my name”

I loved the second snippet of Best Friend with the "you ooh" and I think Number One is great too. Surprising at first it made me smile. I adore ! It's the song of her son Eja.

Think it’s from Air inhale/exhale

matteotempo · Guru

It could be Inhale/Exhale Air. Anyway, it sounds GREAT, the melody's sooo sweet. I love it.

schnetzka · Senior Member

You know for how upbeat she keeps saying this album is, all of these snippets she's releasing are quite slow and not upbeat at all except for a slight few lol.

Honeyimhome · Senior Member

Well the snippet for Waking Up Dreaming wasn’t upbeat either… but here we are lol

Someone commented: "Doesn't it sound too different from that excerpt we hear on her Not Just a Girl documentary of "Inhale/Exhale AIR"? She sings and belts out the line: "What you gonna do with that air?". I'm not sure, but I believe it is different from what I was expecting that song to be like."

It might be "Brand New".

Koko Twain · Senior Member

No it was Inhale/Exhale Air, she put it on Twitter. It's true that the extract sounded sweet but later in the song she must shout "What are you gonna do without air?!?"

It's short 36 minutes! Surely the songs are energetic, that's why.

Honeyimhome · Senior Member

I'm a bit disappointed in the short album, I find it's hard to enjoy an album with short songs, they go by so quickly. One minutes you're listening to song # 1, then boom you're at the last song.

Her debut album was only 30 minutes. Songs are shorter these days due to streaming unfortunately.

I can honestly say I've never heard of a 36-minute full length album. That's more like a EP!

It's actually not rare these days for such a short album, it's the current trend and I can't wait for it to end but I'm scared it won't. Ava Max new release has 14 songs at 40 minutes. Assuming that will be the mark for Queen of Me Taget edition.

When do you think we'll get the first round of reviews from publications? They usually get to hear the album before release.

I think most of them will be published on the 2nd and 3rd. So far only ‘the Sun’ rated the album with a 4 out of 5.

That would be so awesome if Shania has more songs up her sleeve for another version of the album to be released soon. Maybe she'll pull a Taylor Swift, and release a deluxe version of the album with more bonus tracks on streaming, or maybe Shania will do something similar to what Avril Lavigne just did with her latest album "Love Sux", cause Avril released "Love Sux" her newest album, the original version back in February of last year, and then just released a deluxe version with a few more bonus tracks back in November, guaranteed a couple of the songs were just acoustic versions of a couple of songs on the album, but I think there was at least 3 completely new never before heard songs on the deluxe version of "Love Sux", so I wouldn't be surprised if Shania may do something similar with "Queen of Me" in the near future.

schnetzka · Senior Member

And that my friends is how you find out information on other websites lmao. I'm leaning towards maybe Shania doing a deluxe down the line because that's what a lot of artists have been doing recently.

Honeyimhome · Senior Member

It’s so annoying but I think it’s a way to sell more albums. Artist often release a deluxe version either the day of the original release or often times, the week following without notice. I’ll still buy though :)

Absolutely! This album is so much better than NOW. It's so upbeat and the vocal arrangements and harmonizing is great. Sounds so good! It will definitely sell better than NOW.
