Shania Twain’s iconic ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?’ is an upbeat ditty about her unfaithful partner playing away. Originally written as a heartbreak ballad, Twain changed her mind and released the catchy fiddle-fuelled version in 1995. Now, over 30 years later, it seems there’s another version in the works.
“It’s the guy’s version,” Brown shares with Smith as he introduces the idea of this previously unknown project. “It’s not the same sound,” he goes on, “it’s some of her same melodies but then a whole different thing…you’re getting a completely different new song.”
The ‘Gorgeous’ crooner has recently been teasing the release of his next album. The project was supposed to be out earlier this summer but Brown spoke about how he’s pushed back the release to work on the concept and purpose behind the songs. It’s unclear if this project will feature on the album, but from the sounds of it, it’s not quite finished.
“She’s been working on her vocals,” Brown shared when Smith asked if it was a collaboration, “I haven’t heard it yet so I don’t know…I wouldn’t necessarily say she has a verse.”
Make no mistake, though, the Country music legend will add her stamp to the track. “It’s originally her song,” Brown says, “you’re gonna know Shania’s there.”
Just as he was about to leave, Brown was stopped and told that Shania Twain was trying to get hold of him. Brown went and hung out with her, discovering that she’d heard the demo and was happy to give her blessing to use her original song, kicking the project into motion.
The full episode with Kane Brown drops this Friday, 28th August. We’ll for sure be locked in to see what other gems Brown has up his sleeve.
Kane Brown Delays Upcoming Album Release, Explains Why Fans Will Have to Wait
“I’m really excited…I know I say this a lot, but this one is my favorites,” Brown said of the project.

Kane talks about "Whose Bed My Boots Have Been Under" at the 20:50 mark
While Kane Brown continues to recover from a golf ball injury that left him with 23 stitches and a “slight concussion” a few weeks ago, the country star has been keeping his attention on what’s next.
Brown recently opened up to Bobby Bones about the direction of his upcoming album, admitting that he went through a period where he “wasn’t really feeling the music,” which led him to push back the release date from this fall to the spring of 2027.
“I really want to focus on this album and just kind of…I’ve been all over the place with it, wanting to write songs or stories. Wanting it to sound old school, not just country, but different sounds, like 50s type music. And then I was been talking to people and they’re like, ‘Bro, your album doesn’t have to sound cohesive. You haven’t had one album sound cohesive. Why do it now?’ And I was like, ‘You’re right,” he recalled.
After spending some time figuring out what he wanted the project to sound like, the hitmaker said he’s now feeling much more excited about the direction his music is headed in. Brown also revealed that his next project will feature several outside songs that he believes have the potential to become hits.
“I’m in love with it now and we got a lot of outside songs. I don’t have a lot of outside songs. I think we got three or four now that are actually smashes. One of them is the one that I put up the other day. Yeah, I’m really excited…I know I say this a lot, but this one is my favorites.”
He then clarified that the album won’t necessarily be one of his most personal projects, but it will be a collection of songs that he genuinely loves and believes his fans will connect with just as much.
“I’m only going for hits,” he joked.
There will be at least one track, which he has previously teased, that takes a more personal approach as it was inspired by a song he grew up listening to, Shania Twain’s 1995 release, “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?”
Next month, fans will be able to get their hands on his version of the track titled, “Whose Bed My Boots Have Been Under,” which serves as a response to the original story and even includes Twain on background vocals. (Click HERE to watch a clip of Kane performing the song.)
“It’s the guy’s version. The only thing personal with that with me is just I grew up to that song. I think Shania’s doing some backup vocals and all that,” he explained. “It’s not a copy at all, but there’s parts of the melodies in the song.”
Kane Brown currently has three remaining U.S. shows on the books for the year before taking a few months off and preparing to head down under for stops across Australia and Brisbane in January of 2027.
Kane Brown Teases Shania Twain Collab Is a ‘Guy’s Version’ of Her ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under’
"You're getting a completely different, new song," Brown shared in an interview
By Jessica Nicholson | Billboard | September 1, 2026
Kane Brown is giving a classic 1995 Shania Twain hit a romantic, devoted twist — and has invited the five-time Grammy winner to join him on the new rendition.
Brown recently previewed a new song, “Boots,” a take on Twain’s “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.” While Twain’s original was a scathing takedown of an unfaithful lover, Brown serves up a response from a committed lover’s perspective, with lyrics such as “Your lips are all that I’m kissin’/ When I’m gone, you’re all that I’m missin’.”
During a conversation with Elaina D. Smith on Backstage Country, Brown described the song as “the guy’s version” of Twain’s “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.” “It’s not the same sound. It’s some of her same melodies, but then a whole different thing. So you’re getting a completely different, new song.”
He also described how the collab came about. “We were going to the ACMs, I was performing ‘Woman,’ and I said, ‘I’m gonna run into Shania,’ and I said, ‘We’re gonna do the song together.’ As I’m leaving, everybody’s like, ‘Yo, Shania’s trying to get a hold of you,'” he recalled. “So we went back and hung out with her in the green room. She had heard the demo, she hadn’t heard me on it yet. We had to also get her permission on the song. So she cleared it.”
On his social media pages, Brown also revealed the new collab is set to release on Friday (Sept. 4).
On Aug. 9, Brown previewed the song during his concert as part of Stir Concert Cove at Harrah’s Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel in Council Bluffs, Iowa. To date, Brown has notched a dozen No. 1 hits on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, while his most recent single, “Woman,” has reached the top 5 on the Country Airplay chart.
Twain’s original version of “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under” was included on her album The Woman In Me, and reached No. 11 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart in 1995.

If you have a VPN and connect to a server in New Zealand, you should be able to listen to the entire song on Kane Brown's YouTube channel.
Apparently from some websites the song will be sent to Country radio. Based on the clip it definitely has a new sound and hook. Plus he's a very popular and younger artist. It might not be a duet but a remake and Shania's writing credit is still good.
I heard the whole song. Sounds great and current with today's music. Shania starts the song with "Here we go". Her backing vocals sound good throughout the song.

Hit potential Tommy? You seem right on these things. Why I ask.

Yes, I'm sure "Boots" will be a hit and get radio airplay. This definitely is a song made for radio. As was "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under" back in the day.

The song's GREAT! Shania sounds good on everybody else's songs but hers. I don't really know why the producers who work on her projects over-produce her voice so much and I don't know why she lets them do it. I guess she's still insecure about her "new" voice.
This updated version is so catchy. I wouldn't be surprised if it crosses over on the pop charts. I can't explain it there's just something that tells me this is going to number 1 on the country charts in the USA and in Canada. Matt it right she sounds way better when she does duets.
Kane’s homage to Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under? is out now with some harmonies from me that I re-recorded this summer. Very cool to hear this spin on it! Didn’t consider at the time there might be a respectful response to the lyrics 😂 But when he’s loyal like @kanebrown sings about being, I’ll allow it!https://kane-brown.sng.to/boots
Kane Brown Releases “Boots” Featuring Shania Twain
By Erica Zisman | Country Swag | September 4, 2026
Kane Brown releases brand new song, “Boots” with Shania Twain, out now, September 4th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.
Kane Brown is one of the hottest artists on the scene right now. While his music does a great job weaving in and out of genre barriers, Brown continues to find home in country music. Fresh off earning his fourteenth number one single at country radio with “Woman,” Brown is back with another exciting release. Today, the singer joins forces with country music icon Shania Twain on their brand new song, “Boots.”
“Boots” puts a cool twist on Twain’s 1995 hit song, “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.” This time around, Brown flips the concept, giving fans a fresh, male perspective on the classic song. Fun, flirty, and full of nostalgia, “Boots” feels like the perfect collaboration between two artists who have never been afraid to push the boundaries of country music. Brown and Twain effortlessly bring two generations of country music together, while creating a song that feels fresh and exciting all on its own.
“You got a little buzz on your second glass of red (Woo) // Got a couple questions playin’ games in your head // Girl, what you been drinkin’ // That’s got you overthinkin’ ’bout us? Mmm // I know I come home a little late some nights // It’s just a couple beers and poker with the guys // Baby, I could never // Find me someone better to love, oh no // Ain’t nothin’ to hide, ain’t runnin’ around // It was hard not to laugh when you asked me just now”
The song is doing extremely well on the iTunes charts in the USA and Canada. I am wondering when radio will start playing it. Any idea how that works Tommy?
This song is nice but simple, based on a tried-and-tested melody. The song itself is a bit flat; Shania's vocal additions add some depth and enrich the track nicely. The songs on Little Miss Twain are much more elaborate and successful.

The songs on Little Miss Twain don't even come close to this song. This remix is an absolute banger and we'll produced and written.
