I think you're funny
You think I'm smart
'Cause I can name the planets
All by heart
Almost touching
But too shy to start
Eyes wide open
It's way past dark
It's too late to sleep now
The valley's wide awake
The early train's pulling out
Too wired to come down
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
Did you get married
Or did you wait?
Did you ever build that house
Down by the lake?
Nights still find me
Lying awake
'Cause every time I close my eyes
I see your face
It's too late to sleep now
The valley's wide awake
The early train's pulling out
Too high to come down
The last day of summer
Was the first kiss on my lover's mouth
The last time we were together
Is the first thing I remember
Every time September comes
Oh but it's too late to sleep now
The last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
The last time we were together
Is the first thing I remember
Every time September comes
The last time we were together
Is the first thing I remember
Every time September comes
But it's too late to sleep now
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
I won't be able to hear the full song until tomorrow but based on the available minute and a half clip, her voice sounds very
one note to me. I know she can't do many things with her voice anymore but I'm still hoping there's more variety.
Little song? To me it should be a single and promoted. Her Voice sounds amazing. Best song I've heard her do since up. I AM hoping she sings this live. Adult Contemporary would totally play this ballad in Fact it could be a hit. Lots of News Tomorrow, If this is just a promo song then it's my favorite since 2002. I also expect this album to sell much better than now. Also Tomorrow if it wasn't released as an official single can radio still play it Tommy? The album title song is one of my favorites of hers to date. I hear people complaining about 12 songs too me I'd rather 12 good songs then 16 crappie ones. She's got good music on this album I just don't know If radio will get on board. We will see how the song does on the itunes charts over the coming days, Strange feeling this might do extremely well because it is a romantic song, Now please someone correct me if it ain't. Like I am going nuts come on midnight so I can hear the entire song. I'm pre ordering this album 100% If I bought now I will fly to the store and buy this CD. Plus the album cover is hot, Like She's absolutely gorgeous. Everything is so quiet what is she planning Tomorrow this wait is killing me. Like Tommy said better then now way better. I found now okay but these new producers seem to know how to make better quality and sounding music. I prey she sends this to country and adult contemporary radio and sings it live and promotes it. Matty is also correct her voice sounds fantastic, This is the kind of song I have been needing and wanting in my life. Last Day Of Summer, Shania whether radio promotes it who cares my Queen the fans are gonna love it. Yes it's better than waking up dreaming 100%. Not just a girl I still love just this third one hits my heart like nothing Shania has done in over 20 years

The song seems way too slow to be as a new single, so it has to be a promo. Based on everything I’m seeing, I don’t see much success with singles on this album. Perhaps I am wrong, and maybe Shania has something bigger coming in promotion of an CMA/AMA performance. I like the song, just not for a single at this moment, unless she starts promoting WUD.
Another odd thing to me, is Shania hasn’t posted anything that advertises her album name, or having a new single released tomorrow. So off in this so called advertisement scheme to releasing a new record.
Box sets with tshirts , different vinyl editions but not a deluxe edition with extra tracks , releasing it on February, maybe a deluxe edition for November 2023 ? For Xmas sales ?
I am disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a deluxe edition because 12 tracks is not enough. It will be her shortest album trackwise since 'The Woman in Me'. However, most of the songs on that album were over 4 minutes. Based on the three tracks released already, this might be one of her shortest albums ever (only longer than her debut).
Right now, I'm feeling very comfortable in my own skin - and this album reflects that musically. Life is short and I want to be uplifted, colorful, unapologetic and empowered. I want to carry a clear message, particularly as a woman, to always remember my power and I hope the songs are a reminder to you, of that same power inside you! I want to celebrate this new chapter with you all on my tour! Vegas has been a dream, but I’m ready to be on the road again... This one's gonna be a big party - no inhibitions, no conditions, let's get a little out of line!!
I’ll be Queen Of Me – you be Queen of YOU! 👑🖤 Queen Of Me is available to pre-order now, coming February 3rd 2023. The Queen Of Me Tour goes on sale November 4th, 10am local time.
I was sure that Queen of me would be the title of the album! That's why she's been using that word a lot lately.
12 songs is not much, very disappointed on this point. She took 6 years for only 12 songs? And she boasted of having written mountains of songs, enough for several albums...! I'm sure she plans an enriched reissue in the fall of 2023, and perhaps an album to follow sooner in 2024.
For the tour, very oriented towards English-speaking countries, it's huge, but nothing in the EU. I still couldn't see her.
Las Day of Summer is more country, very quiet and relaxing. I don't see it working on the radio, but the song isn't bad. Really nice voice!
I would have preferred one of the photos for Bustle for the cover of the album, but she had fun with the horse! And "Giddy Up" is coming.
I unfortunately don't foresee her releasing another album after this until 2026 at the earliest. She took five years between 'Come on Over' and 'Up!' and almost six years between 'Now' and 'Queen of Me'. But yeah, only 12 songs after saying she had so many songs is kind of a letdown. But I'm excited nonetheless.
I'm waiting to pre-order in Canada. I think the Target bonus tracks may become available on Apple Music/iTunes Canada as on her Canadian store, the pre-order for the cd says "Queen of Me Standard CD" on the UK store, she has a pre-order for "Queen of Me Exclusive CD"... If I have to, I'll order the Target edition as Target ships to Canada. I'll just wait and see when we get closer to the release date.
"I want to carry a clear message, particularly as a woman, to always remember my power," she said of the upcoming release.

I am not sure why it it isn't higher, I actually love it. It's not the second single, So perhaps another coming next month. If the album is on pre-sale why aren't the songs named? Just the released ones. I hear people posting all the song titles but I want an official song list. Any promotion at all besides the tour? I also expect more dates to be announced. This might be in fact her last album and tour. We shall see

She excitedly heralds the highly anticipated album with a new song entitled “Last Day of Summer.” Listen to “Last Day of Summer”—HERE. The track unfolds as a nostalgic and cinematic anthem set in the final moments of everyone’s favorite season. Delicate guitar melts into a steady beat and big screen-worthy strings as she nostalgically recalls, “The last time we were together the first thing I remember every time September comes.”
Shania will make it feel like summer forever, like only she can…
MORE ABOUT SHANIA TWAIN
Last month, she made a grand return with her latest single “Waking Up Dreaming.” Right out of the gate, Vulture hailed it as “a motivational, synth-laden pop-rocker with few of the country touches you’d expect from Twain, all of the glamour.”RollingStone raved, “It gradually builds to a Shania-worthy maximalist sound, a dance party of gleaming guitars and unfettered bliss.” People affirmed, “Shania Twain is baring it all with her new era of music,” and The Tennesseanproclaimed, “Country icon Shania Twain’s season in the sun continues with the release of ‘Waking Up Dreaming’.” Perhaps The TODAY Show summed it up best as “an absolute bop.”
“Waking Up Dreaming” marked her first release in five years since 2017’s critically acclaimed, Now, which bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Top Country Albums Chart upon arrival. It also arrives on the heels of her blockbuster career-spanning documentary Not Just A Girl—streaming on Netflix now. It was notably produced by Mercury Studios and directed by Joss Crowley. To accompany the film, she also presented the compilation album Not Just A Girl (The Highlights) available HERE. And in other news this once-in-a-generation Renaissance Woman joins the star-studded cast of Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration in the role of Mrs. Potts, premiering on ABC December 15 and streaming on Disney+ as of December 16.

It’s not up higher because Shania has done zero promotion in the US. LDOS is not even a single, it’s a promo single. Just something to give listeners insight to hearing before the album release. Wouldn’t even make sense releasing the song as a single anyway, as summer is already over more than a month ago. WUD was the same thing. It flopped early because there was no promotion behind it. Shania isn’t a spring chicken anymore, and unfortunately, just bearing her name will not automatically put her music to the top of the charts. She probably will have to promote and work even harder getting in front of eyes and ears just to give her music a shot getting to the top echelons of country charts. Her album, I suspect will debut at number 1 on country charts, and has good shot of debuting at number 1 on all genre, but by then, she should be doing some early promo work. WUD will likely be the only official single we see her pushing until the release of the album. The single could still have some momentum if she performs some awards shows and does some other promo work, but if she doesn’t do that, and just performs old hits of the past, WUD will literally be a thing of the past.
She should give us a shopping guide along with the album. There are so many versions I'm definitely confused. Target version has two more songs, the blue vinyl is supposed to have different songs (it's not clear if it will have more songs or just different ones). Anyway, on the standard version Sisters and Air Inhale Exhale (the second song we can hear in the netflix documentary) aren't on the album. The credits on BMI say Shania wrote them alone. "You Prick" should be track #2, based on the credits, too. We'll see when the tracklist will be released.
