"Love Gets Me Every Time" is a song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the first country single from Shania Twain's 1997 album, Come on Over. The song was written by Mutt Lange and Shania Twain. Released in 1997, the single spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard Country Singles chart, becoming Shania's fifth number one on that chart, and to date has spent the most weeks at number one out of any of Shania's singles. The original title of the song was going to be "Gol Darn Gone and Done It", but the title was changed after Lange thought too many DJs would keep messing up the name. "Love Gets Me Every Time" was later included on the 2004 Greatest Hits package.

[edit] Review

“ This is the highly anticipated first single from Twain's new album, Come On Over, the follow-up to her multi-platinum The Woman In Me collection. The lyric is lightweight, the performance is pretty much a matter of individual taste, and, as usual, the production is the real star here. Robert John 'Mutt' Lange repeats the formula for the last album's huge success by once again marrying catchy hooks and high-energy, rockish percussion with lots of tasty fiddle and guitar touches. Country radio programmers cannot seem to get enough of Twain, so this single will likely bullet right up the charts. ”

--Billboard, October 4, 1997
