Shania's Sales

"It's up and it's cheerful," she declares. "We wanted to enjoy writing it, we wanted to feel up about the whole thing. That's why we ended up gearing everything towards a very positive feeling."
 
~Shania Twain (On Up!)

 Up!

Written by:  Shania Twain / R. J. Lange


 

It's 'bout as bad as it could be

Seems everybody's buggin' me

Like nothing wants to go my way -

yeah, it just ain't my day

Nothin's comin' easily

 

Even my skin is acting weird

I wish that I could grow a beard

Then I could cover up my spots -

not play connect the dots

I just wanna disappear
 

Chorus:
Up - up -up-

Can only go up from here

Up - up -up Up

where the clouds gonna clear

Up - up -up -

There's no way but up from here

 

Even something as simple as

Forgettin' to fill up on gas

There ain't no explanation why -

things like that can make you cry

Just gotta learn to have a laugh

 

(Chorus)

 

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...

 

When everything is goin' wrong

Don't worry, it won't last for long

Yeah, it's all gonna come around

Don't go let it get you down

You gotta keep on holding on

 

It's 'bout as bad as it could be

Seems everybody's buggin' me

Like nothing wants to go my way-

yeah, it just ain't been my day

Nothin's comin' easily

 

(Chorus)

 

Oh - I'm going up(4x)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

BILLBOARD REVIEW:

It's UP!, up! and away for Shania Twain's new double-disc, which fulfilled all promises to rule the roost over the all-important holiday season. Second single "UP!" is hardly rewriting the artist's songbook, but it shoots directly at the heart of what has made Twain one of country's most consistent female hitmakers: It's life-loving, instantly singable, uptempo, and wraps things up in a hasty three minutes. The previous "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" peaked at a surprisingly low No.7 on Hot Country Singles and Tracks, perhaps because of its liberal lifting from a couple of her past hits. This one sounds like it's got the goods to go the distance, and with the media machine blazing--Twain has cover stories in the new year in Rolling Stone, In Style, Redbook, Seventeen, and Blender--the Shania galaxy is definitely looking nothing but up.
