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.
Hear a preview of the Brown/Twain collab “Boots” below:
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.
I am so confused as to why it was released to Country radio in the UK but not Canada or the United States. The song is actually very catchy and radio friendly. Unless it will be sent to radio in the next week or so. I really and strongly believe this song has hit potential but I am so confused as to why it isn't getting played.
The country stars have teamed up on the new single “Boots,” which twists Twain’s original song on its head and answers the titular question from the perspective of the lover himself — and as it turns out, it’s not what you think.
“I think it’s very well done in the sense that it’s kind of like a call and response, a continuation of the story,” Twain, 61, tells PEOPLE. “Lyrically, the intention was to make it playful and not offensive from the woman’s point of view. And I think [Brown] doing it in the same spirit was the right thing.”
The “You’re Still the One” singer co-wrote the original song, which was released in 1995 on her breakthrough album The Woman in Me. “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?” was a song Brown, 32, grew up listening to — so when songwriter Josh Hoge sent him “Boots,” in which the man in the song insists that there is in fact no other woman, it was a no-brainer.
“I’ve been a fan of the Queen for the longest [time]. My mom was a huge fan, and I was a massive fan growing up, [being] raised by all women. So we heard Shania all the time in my house,” he tells PEOPLE. “I listened to [‘Boots’] and immediately just fell in love with the song. And then I just kind of tried to manifest Shania allowing us to do the song and getting her on the song.”
Luckily for Brown, getting Twain on board wasn’t all that difficult. The two first met years ago at an awards show, and when she hosted the ACM Awards in May, Brown — who performed at the show — knew it was his perfect window.
“I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to meet her again. She’s going to say that we can do the song,’” he recalls thinking. “And then she one-upped me and said she was going to hop on the song with me. So I was like, ‘Hell yeah.’”
Sure, his manifestation worked its magic, but it helped that the Queen of Country Pop was already a fan.
“I was a really big supporter from the very, very beginning,” she says, talking to Brown. “You just have a great voice and a very steady, calm way about you that’s very attractive. You’re so likable and easy to meet, which is good. And your voice is incredible. I love your voice, and I loved your voice on the song, too.”
It’s not lost on the pair that through the original song and its new iteration, they’ve managed to bridge a gap between generations, some of whom adore Twain’s original, and others who have only ever heard Brown’s take.
“I just want to thank you for carrying the torch, Kane,” Twain says. “I’m a songwriter first, and the songwriting is so critical… It’s all about the story.”
Brown, meanwhile, sees a kindred spirit in Twain, as he recognizes that they’re both “not scared to get boxed in” when it comes to genre and the type of music they’re making.
It’s an attitude he’s taking with him as he works on his next record, which will follow last year’s The High Road.
"I've always kind of tried to cater to the wrong people. Is it country enough? Basically the people that aren’t going to buy my records or listen to my music anyway, and I’m just now kind of realizing that,” he says. “I’ve gotten away from the slow type songs, even though that’s what got me started. I just don’t like playing them live. I’m just more energetic running around. So there’s going to be a lot of uptempo, head-bopping type songs.”
Twain, meanwhile, is staying plenty busy, too. She released her seventh album Little Miss Twain in July, and announced a new deluxe version of the record earlier this week set for release on Oct. 9. She’s also set to narrate the audiobook of a new recorded edition of her bestselling memoir From This Moment On.
“It’s not difficult to keep me inspired. There’s so many new ideas surfacing constantly that my head spins. We’ll never exhaust chord progression options or possibilities. The scales are infinite, and the lyric combinations are infinite. I lose sleep over this stuff!” she says. “I’m really easy to inspire. So staying creative is easy for me, it’s like lighting a match. From the creative side of things, there’s always a flame burning.”
Technically, "Boots" is Kane's song, not Shania's. The song debuts at No. 36 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and No. 13 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart (week of September 19, 2026).
"Boots" debuts at No. 79 on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100chart(week of September 19, 2026).
Shania Twain Reaches A Career Peak Shortly After A Disappointment
By Hugh McIntyre | Forbes | September 18, 2026
Shania Twain dropped her seventh studio album Little Miss Twain earlier this summer. The project underperformed commercially and marked her first set to miss the top 10 on the Billboard 200. In fact, it failed to break into the highest half of the 200-space ranking of the most popular albums and EPs in the United States, as Little Miss Twain stalled at No. 131. The full-length also missed the top 20 on the Top Country Albums roster, where, theoretically, Twain’s latest should perform best.
Only a short time later, the celebrated country performer is back on the Billboard charts, long after Little Miss Twain disappeared. This time around, she scores a new hit alongside a genre favorite and manages to climb higher than ever before on one of Billboard’s most competitive rundowns.
Shania Twain Hits a New Career High
Twain reaches a new career best on the Digital Song Sales chart this week, and she comes closer than ever before to breaking into the top 10. “Boots,” her team-up with Kane Brown, opens at No. 13 this frame after selling a little more than 1,300 copies on platforms like iTunes and Amazon.
“Boots” lands several spaces higher than where “Party for Two” peaked more than 20 years ago. That collaboration with Billy Currington stalled at No. 15. Twain’s three other hits that have landed on the Digital Song Sales chart — “Waking Up Dreaming,” “Giddy Up!” and “Today Is Your Day” — all peaked in positions lower than No. 25, where the tally ends these days.
Kane Brown Has Scored More Than a Dozen Sales Smashes
Brown has performed significantly better on the Digital Song Sales chart than his collaborator. Out of 42 tracks by the country artist that have landed on the ranking – including quite a few that would not appear on the truncated roster today – 16 have broken into the top 10.
Brown has dominated the Digital Song Sales tally twice. He first reached No. 1 on his own with “For My Daughter,” and then several years later returned to the summit alongside his wife Katelyn with “Thank God.”
Shania Twain Scores One of the Week’s Biggest Debuts
Six tunes debut on the 25-spot Digital Song Sales chart this week, and Twain and Brown score the fourth-loftiest entry of that bunch. Miley – who now goes by that one name as opposed to Miley Cyrus – starts her latest release, “Bass Persuades,” at No. 2 behind Ella Langley’s unstoppable “Choosin’ Texas.” Blackpink singer Lisa launches “Sawadika” at No. 7, just ahead of “The Government” from political rapper Tom MacDonald.
Shania Twain Nearly Returns to the Billboard Hot 100
“Boots” lands on another two tallies in America, though it does not bring Twain to a new career high point on either of them. The cut kicks off its time at No. 36 on the Hot Country Songs chart, which looks at the most-consumed tunes in that style.
“Boots” fails to break onto the Billboard Hot 100, the list of the most-consumed cuts of any style in the nation, by only a few rungs. Instead, it begins its time on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart at No. 9. The 25-space ranking serves as an extension of the Billboard Hot 100 for tracks that have yet to reach the main roster. Technically, the cut’s arrival gives both Twain and Brown a new top 10 win on a Billboard chart, though not one that most artists are ecstatic to reach.
After debuting last week (week of September 19, 2026) at No. 36 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, No. 13 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart and No. 79 on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 chart, "Boots" falls off all three charts this week (week of September 26, 2026).
