Introduction
In this heartfelt interview, Shania Twain opens up about returning to music with her new single “Life’s About to Get Good”—her first release in 15 years. Speaking with Your Morning, she discusses the long road back to the studio, her health struggles, personal growth, and why now is the right time for her return.
Shania explains that her extended break was largely due to serious vocal issues, which took years to overcome. During that time, songwriting remained a constant part of her life—like writing in a diary—serving as both a creative outlet and emotional release. Many of the ideas for her album Now had been developing over the years, with the final songs coming together in the two years leading up to the album’s release.
“Life’s About to Get Good” stands out for its emotional contrast—starting with a raw, somber lyric, but quickly shifting into an uplifting and hopeful message. Shania shares that the song is about transitioning from darkness to light, and encourages listeners to acknowledge pain instead of pretending it isn’t there. Only by facing challenges directly, she says, can we truly move forward.
The conversation also touches on the album’s vulnerability and honesty. Shania embraces this openness, saying that sharing her story not only helps her heal, but might help others relate and feel less alone. She emphasizes that she’s no longer afraid to be candid about her struggles.
Finally, Shania hints that a new tour may be on the horizon. Though she once thought her last tour would be her final one due to her voice, the process of recording this album has renewed her confidence. While not officially committed, she says she’s ready to “get back in the saddle” and bring the new music to life on stage.
Her new album Now is set to release in September, and the first single “Life’s About to Get Good” is already available.
