Twain’s first new music is six years, “Today Is Your Day,” went to country radio this week.
“The purpose of writing ‘Today Is Your Day’ in the first place was self-inspiration,” Shania says. “I was talking to myself and saying, “Today is your day. You can do it!” But the decision to even write the song and share it was a big decision for me, to find myself as a songwriter again, independently, for the very first time after all these years.”
“Today Is Your Day” is available on iTunes now.
