Up!

Shania Twain

Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
I'm goin' up
I'm goin' up, up, up, up

[Chorus 1]
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
Nothing's coming easily

[Verse 1]
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 2]
Up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up, up
There's no way but up from here
[Verse 2]
Even something as simple as
Forgetting 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 2]
Up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up, up
There's no way but up from here

[Chorus 3]
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 1]
It's about as bad as it could be (Bad as it could be)
Seems everybody's bugging me (Everybody's bugging me)
Like nothing wants to go my way
Yeah, it just ain't been my day
Nothing's coming easily
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 2]
And up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up, up
There's no way but up from here
Up, up, up, ooh
I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
Up, up, up, up, I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
Ohh

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahEmbed

If you are a big fan of Shania Twain, you probably already know everything about her song "Up!" But if you stumbled upon this article, let me introduce you to this iconic track that was released in 2002. "Up!" is the title track from Shania Twain's fourth album, which was released in three different versions: Green (country), Red (pop), and Blue (a Bollywood sound released internationally). The song became an instant hit and received a positive response from both critics and the public.

About Up!

The lyrical structure of "Up!" is unique, and it sets itself apart from most other pop-country tracks. The verses are written in limerick style (A-A-B-B-A), which gives the track a quirky, upbeat, and energetic vibe. It's almost impossible not to get up and dance along to the catchy chorus.

The song starts with Shania's voice in a low register, leading up to the chorus where she utters the famous "Up! Up! Up!" croon that makes you feel the adrenaline rush. The lyrics are about a relationship that has hit a rough patch and the need to work and take it to the next level. Shania's voiceover is an encouragement to never let the conflicts pull us down and always work towards building a better relationship.

One of the best things about "Up!" is that the track ripens with repeated listens. Whether you're hearing it for the first time, or you've listened to it countless times, the energy of the song is evergreen, and it leaves an impression on you long after the music has stopped.

Shania Twain's vocals are on point, and she hits every note with precision. Her voice has a silky-smooth texture that blends perfectly with the country-pop instrumentation, which is heavily reliant on guitars and drums. The instrumental bridge before the last chorus, where Shania and the music create an instrumental call and response, gives the listener goosebumps.

Even the music video for "Up!" is extremely entertaining and features Shania as a waitress cheering up a grumpy customer and instantaneously creating a happy atmosphere. The video's vibrant colors and upbeat choreography are a reflection of the song's energy.

To sum up, "Up!" by Shania Twain is an uplifting, energy-packed, and catchy pop-country track that is a must-listen for fans of the genre. The clever songwriting with limerick style lyrics and Shania Twain's smooth vocals make this song a timeless classic.
