"From This Moment On" is a song by Canadian country singer Shania Twain. It was the fourth country single released from her 1997 multi-platinum album, Come on Over, while it was the second to be released to North American pop radio and third to international markets. The song was written by Mutt Lange and Shania Twain. It became her second biggest single on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to become Twain's ninth top-ten single on the Billboard Country singles chart. It was also her second number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary singles chart. The original version of the song featured fellow country singer Bryan White, while a new re-recorded version featured Twain solo. "From This Moment On" was included in both the Come on Over and Up! tours, as well as her Miami, Chicago and Up! Close and Personal specials. Twain has admitted that while she performs this song on stage at a show, there have been incidents where couples propose to each other. The song was written at a soccer game in Italy, as a love song between Twain and Lange. In 2006, a survey was conducted by Gigmasters.com, which asked 2500 wedding entertainers and DJs their most requested wedding songs, "From This Moment On" ranked as couple's third most requested "first dance" song.^[1]

"From This Moment On" video

The music video for "From This Moment On" was filmed in New York City and directed by Paul Boyd. It was shot on August 27, 1998 and released on September 27, 1998, two months after it peaked in the country music format. It depicts Twain wearing a long dress and a bindi. She is walking down a hallway, trying to go through several doors; however, they are all locked. Finally she finds an unlocked door, proceeds through it and finds an orchestra being led by a conductor. She stands in front and finishes singing the song. The video, with an extra blooper at the end, is available on Twain's DVD The Platinum Collection.
