Shania Twain’s record label weren’t fans of her classic hit Any Man of Mine.
The star released the track as the second single from her album The Woman in Me but, speaking to the Daily Star, she admits the track concerned executives.
“I’m chirpy and there’s a sense of humour there, but it’s pretty bossy, especially for country music,” she explains of the track, which contains lines like, “Any man of mine better be proud of me / Even when I’m ugly, he still better love me,” and, “Anything I do or say better be okay / When I have a bad hair day”.
“They were thinking men were going to be offended and women wouldn’t be able to relate to the fact that you’re sexy.
“I thought it was the exact opposite,” she insists. “Women think this way and that is what we want. A lot of men have said to me over the years that their wives sing them that song with a sense of humour and that was the intention.”
Shania is celebrating The Woman in Me album with a deluxe 25th anniversary re-release. The Woman In Me (Super Deluxe Diamond Edition) is available to order on CD and vinyl now.
