Introduction:
“Still Under The Weather” is a track from Shania Twain’s self-titled debut album, which was released on April 20, 1993. This marked Twain’s entry into the country music scene, although her later work would lean more significantly into a crossover pop-country sound. The genre of “Still Under The Weather” firmly resides within traditional country, showcasing a more straightforward and less pop-infused style compared to her breakthrough albums.
Co-written by Shania Twain, Skip Ewing, and Michael White, “Still Under The Weather” is a heartfelt ballad that explores the lingering emotions after a lost love. The lyrics poignantly describe the feeling of being in a state of recovery, “still under the weather” but having weathered the worst of the storm. Twain’s delivery is sincere and vulnerable, fitting the classic country themes of heartbreak and resilience.
While “Still Under The Weather” was not released as a single and therefore did not achieve significant chart success or widespread mainstream recognition on its own, it holds a notable place within Shania Twain’s early discography. The album “Shania Twain” did achieve platinum certification in the United States, indicating strong sales and establishing a foundation for her future superstardom. Although this particular song didn’t garner individual awards or accolades, it contributed to the overall success of her debut album, which was a crucial first step in her remarkable career. It offers a glimpse into the more traditional country roots from which Twain’s genre-bending sound would later evolve, and remains a cherished track for fans who appreciate the full spectrum of her musical journey.
