Reviving Romance: Shania Twain's 'You're Still the One' Gets a Candy Crush Dance Remix by Zedd
Shania Twain's iconic love song "You're Still the One" is getting a fresh makeover in the form of a dance remix by Zedd, set in the vibrant world of Candy Crush. Twain views this evolution as an exciting new chapter for the beloved classic, which has been a staple at weddings and anniversaries since its release in 1998. The collaboration with Zedd and Candy Crush's Candy Country setting offers a unique and interactive experience for fans of the song.
Originally featured on Twain's 1997 album "Come On Over," "You're Still the One" was a chart-topping hit that earned her two Grammy awards. The new version, part of Candy Crush's Music Season 2026, retains Twain's original vocals while incorporating Zedd's dance-oriented production. The accompanying interactive music video immerses fans in the fantastical world of Candy Country, offering exciting rewards and opportunities to engage with the artists.
Twain was initially surprised by the concept of Candy Country but embraced the idea of taking the song to a new universe. She appreciated Zedd's approach of building around her vocals while infusing his musical magic into the track. The collaboration allowed for a significant sonic shift while preserving the essence of the original song, creating a fresh and engaging experience for listeners.
For Zedd, collaborating with Twain on a new version of such an iconic song was a special opportunity, given his admiration for her music. The balance between honoring the classic nature of "You're Still the One" and infusing it with a modern twist was crucial to both artists. Twain sees parallels between this reinterpretation and Whitney Houston's rendition of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You," highlighting how a song can evolve while retaining its core identity.
As "You're Still the One" continues to resonate with different generations of listeners, Twain finds joy in observing how the song evolves through personal experiences. The song's emotional impact transcends its musical adaptation, connecting people in various ways.

She views the reimagining of her catalog as a never-ending creative journey that extends beyond music into different artistic mediums.
For Twain, the continuous evolution of her music on new platforms and genres is a source of inspiration and creativity. She compares this process to visual art, where artists can reinterpret the same subject in various ways without erasing its original essence. As "You're Still the One" transitions from a country-pop staple to a dance track to an interactive gaming experience, Twain embraces the ongoing transformation of her music and looks forward to more exciting collaborations in the future.
