Shania Twain Announces First Album in 15 Years: Listen to the First Single

She’s still the one! Shania Twain dropped a new single, “Life’s About to Get Good,” on Thursday, June 15, giving fans a taste of what’s to come on her long-anticipated new album.

During a Friday, June 16, appearance on the Today show, Twain, 51, joked that the upbeat single about going from “dark to light, sad to happy, lost to found” is “annoyingly catchy.” She explained that the song “is a very melancholy story, but we’re talking about making it through to the end.”
