Shania Twain’s new video for “Swingin’ with my eyes closed” has been released.
The country rock track is taken from the singer’s brand new album “Now”, her first in nearly 15 years.
In this project, Shania worked with four producers across the 16 tracks including Matthew Koma, Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen, Gavin DeGraw), Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes), and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Norah Jones).
About it, Twain said: “The producers all had to be people that were open to the collaborative idea on the production side, because I already had a really strong vision. I didn’t plan on being as involved as I was, but it just ended up that way”. “They were all open to my vision. I just stayed involved all the way. It was just a really great environment. They all brought different things to the table. I already knew what I liked about each individual and my job was to make it all cohesive and to pull it together. A lot of it was done in the mixing. That’s part of what made it cohesive sonically. I didn’t include producers on the mixing — I did the mixing myself with an engineer” she added.
The music video for “Swingin’ with my eyes closed” was directed by Jennifer Massaux and it sees Shania dancing in a massive room with sun streaming through the windows.
Welcome back Queen of Country!
Lyrics:
Summers here, bring it on
Another year, one more beer
Another song, comes on the radio
So loud and clear yeah
You whisper ‘come’ in my ear
I follow like a season
Not afraid of what I’m feeling oh
I’m swinging, with my eyes closed
Got my hair down a while, and roar
I’m swinging, with my eyes closed
Only God knows, how far it goes
Fist up in the air, oh like we don’t care, swinging
Life is short, and nights are long
Nothings sure in this world ’til we’re gone
Fear disappears each time I close my eyes
I kiss you once, I kiss kiss, I kiss you twice
It’s in the air we’re breathing
Oh can you taste the freedom
I’m swinging, with my eyes closed
Got my hair down a while, and roar
I’m swinging, with my eyes closed
Only God knows, how far it goes
Fist up in the air, oh like we don’t care, swinging
Only God knows
I’m swinging, with my eyes closed
Only God knows, how far it goes
Fist up in the air, oh like we don’t care, swinging
Fist up in the air, oh like we don’t care, swinging
