Nearly three decades after “You’re Still the One” became Shania Twain ’s signature love song, the country-pop classic is getting a decidedly different kind of second life: a dance makeover from Zedd , wrapped in the sugar-coated interactive universe of Candy Crush . For Twain, the alteration of the song’s anatomy is less about changing a classic than watching it continue to evolve. “You’re Still the One,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1998 — Twain’s highest-charting song on the all-genre tally — has been a fixture of weddings and anniversaries for a long time. Now, with Zedd’s production and Candy Crush ’s fantastical Candy Country setting, Twain sees the light of another beautiful chapter for the classic. “It’s a great, new, exciting platform for the song, for my classic, and I’m flattered by it,” Twain tells Billboard . The song, originally released on Twain’s 1997 album Come On Over , spent 42 weeks on the Hot 100 and became a major country-pop crossover hit for the singer. It also earned Twain two Grammys, for best country song and best female country vocal performance. The song is now getting a fresh, new sonic identity. The new version, releasing as part of Candy Crush ’s Music Season 2026, keeps Twain’s original vocal while Zedd gives the track a dance-oriented production.

Obviously, “You’re Still the One” has its fair share of remixed versions, but the combination of Zedd’s production and Candy Crush ’s visual concept took the idea somewhere she hadn’t anticipated. “I would never have thought of that myself,” she says of the Candy Country concept. “So I was excited about it. And it takes the song to a whole other place. It takes it to a different universe, is a good way to put it.” That sense of discovery is part of what made the collaboration so appealing to Twain. Instead of just replacing the original recording altogether, Zedd was able to build around her existing vocal, allowing for a song that fans have known for nearly 30 years to sound different without losing its most recognizable parts. “I was really flexible. I’m just like, you know, ‘Do your thing!’” Twain says. “’You’re Zedd for a reason, and I’m excited about what you’re gonna do about it.’” For Zedd, the opportunity was extremely exciting because he grew up listening to Twain’s music. “I was super happy Candy Crush brought me and Shania Twain together,” Zedd says. “She’s a legendary artist and I grew up listening to her music, so being able to collaborate with her on a new version of such an iconic song has been really special.” Twain says Zedd’s approach struck the balance she was hoping for, which was a subst
