Ella Langley is giving one of Shania Twain’s biggest songs a new moment nearly three decades after it first became a hit.
The country star recently shared a piano cover of Twain’s 1998 classic “You’re Still the One” on TikTok. Langley kept the performance simple, accompanying herself on piano while putting her own emotional spin on the song.
“I’ll never get over this song,” Langley captioned the video.
The performance quickly reached the song’s original singer. Twain responded in the comments, writing, “So flattered ❤️Loved getting to connect at ACMs xx.”

The exchange shows how “You’re Still the One” continues to connect artists and listeners 28 years after its release. The song was already a major crossover hit in 1998, and it has found a new life through covers and performances by artists from different genres and generations.

♬ original sound – Ella LangleyThe cover also fits Langley’s history of sharing songs she loves on social media. She has previously posted versions of Freddy Fender’s “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights” and George Strait’s “Fool Hearted Memory.”
Her love for classic country also appeared on her album Dandelion, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The album included her version of Kitty Wells’ 1952 classic “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.”
“You’re Still the One” first appeared on Twain’s 1997 album Come On Over before becoming one of the defining hits of 1998.
The song was written by Twain and her then-husband and producer, Robert “Mutt” Lange. It was inspired by criticism surrounding their relationship and the belief from others that their marriage would not last.
In a 1997 interview with The Spokesman Review, Twain explained the personal meaning behind the song.
“Mutt and I are an unlikely pair,” Twain said. “There’s been talk in the tabloids that we’re divorcing, but we are very happy. We love each other in every way. We have a great creative relationship and a great personal relationship. We feel as strong as ever, and ‘Still the One’ is sort of my own personal victory song about the marriage.”
The song’s message reached far beyond its original story.
After Twain and Lange later divorced, she explained that the meaning of the song had changed because listeners had made it part of their own lives.
“I think the biggest value of ‘You’re Still the One’ is that it’s become the people’s song,” Twain told The Line of Best Fit in 2023. “Because it no longer applies to Mutt and I.”
She added, “With songwriting, I think a lot of the time you have to sort of let your original meanings go, because the meaning of a song can evolve so much once it’s out there. Once you give it to the public, they make it their own. They have their own reasons for loving it.”
That may help explain why the song has lasted for 28 years.
“You’re Still the One” became a crossover success after being released to pop radio. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also topped the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. The song became Twain’s most successful single on the Hot 100 and spent nine non-consecutive weeks at No. 2.
The hit also earned two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
The song’s success helped make Come On Over one of the biggest country albums ever. The album spent 50 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and became the best-selling album by a female solo artist in the United States.
Over the years, “You’re Still the One” has continued to inspire artists. Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves performed it together in 2018, while artists including Prince, Kelly Clarkson, Teddy Swims, Christian Lee Hutson, Julia Jacklin, boygenius and others have also performed or recorded versions.
