Shania Twain wrote this song with her rock producer husband, Robert "Mutt" Lange. Her lyrics were inspired by their marriage, which many felt wouldn't last. The soothsayers were right, as Twain and Lange divorced 10 years later in 2008 after 14 years of marriage.
This song was remixed for its single release to sound less country and appeal more to pop audiences in the hopes of giving Twain a mainstream crossover hit. The plan worked: It became Twain's first Top 10 hit in both the UK and US, and reached #1 in Australia. It was her most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending a record nine (non-consecutive) weeks at #2.
The song won the 1998 Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song.
