"You're Still the One" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. It was released in January 1998 as the third country single from Twain's album ''Come on Over'', while it was the first to be released to pop and international markets. The single peaked at number two becoming Twain's first top ten hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Although it never topped the chart, the song is recognized as Twain's most successful crossover single, and is one of her most successful singles at country radio.〔 Billboard chart history〕 The song was written by Twain and Mutt Lange and produced by Lange. "You're Still the One" was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1999, winning two. It won Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance and lost Record of the Year and Song of the Year to fellow Canadian, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". It was No. 46 on VH1's ''100 Greatest Songs of the 90s''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = VH1 )〕 ==Background== When Twain and Lange had become romantically involved in the mid 1990s, there was criticism of their relationship: claims that the age difference was extreme, and that Twain was solely using him to further her career.〔(WhatzUp article )〕 In essence, the critics did not expect their relationship to last. Twain disagreed with these criticisms and wanted to address them in public and this led to her writing "You're Still the One". In an interview with "Top of the Pops" in 1999, she mentioned that she and Lange never intended to write a song about themselves, but that they were simply influenced by the press criticism. Later, in her memoir "From This Moment On", she described her and Lange each writing separate ideas for songs for the album ''Come on Over'' and collating them together later, stated that Lange singing the counter line as backing vocals in the song got her "feeling very excited" and led her to sing the chorus melody and both to come up with the title "You're Still the One". In this ode to the union between her and Lange, Twain explains how she is glad they did not listen to the critics, as if they had done, look at what they could have been missing. Twain and Lange divorced twelve years later in 2010 after 17 years of marriage due to an affair between her husband and her best friend. However, in her biography, Twain has stated that she cherishes the song in souvenir of her mother and of her stepfather and truly believes that they were meant to be together and that, in spite of all the trials they have been through, her parents shared a very pure and true love.〔TWAIN, Shania, ''D'hier à demain,ma vie'', Les éditions Un monde différent,2011,480 p.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You're Still the One」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
