"Up!" is a Juno Award winning song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It is the title track and second country single from her 2002 album Up!. The song was written by Twain and her husband, Mutt Lange. "Up!" was originally released to North American country radio on January 6, 2003. "I'm Not in the Mood (To Say No)!" was to be released to pop radio along side "Up!" but this release was cancelled. It was released as a Double A-Side single with "When You Kiss Me" to the UK on November 17, 2003. And finally as the sixth and final single to Europe on March 8, 2004. Although "Up!" only made top 10 in Canada and Hungary, it was still included on Twain's 2004 Greatest Hits package, as a fan favorite.

[edit] Reviews

“ It's UP!, up! and away for Shania Twain's new double-disc, which fulfilled all promises to rule the roost over the all-important holiday season. Second single "UP!" is hardly rewriting the artist's songbook, but it shoots directly at the heart of what has made Twain one of country's most consistent female hitmakers: It's life-loving, instantly singable, uptempo, and wraps things up in a hasty three minutes. The previous "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" peaked at a surprisingly low No.7 on Hot Country Singles and Tracks, perhaps because of its liberal lifting from a couple of her past hits. This one sounds like it's got the goods to go the distance, and with the media machine blazing--Twain has cover stories in the new year in Rolling Stone, In Style, Redbook, Seventeen, and Blender--the Shania galaxy is definitely looking nothing but up. ”

--Billboard, January 11, 2003

The music video for "Up!" was shot by Antti J in Madrid, alongside some scenes for the video of "Ka-Ching!". It was filmed in early January 2003 and released on January 11, 2003[1]. All three album versions of the song were released: Red, Green and Blue. The video shows Twain in a white room, decorating a wall with memorabilia and photographs related to Shania. These include a glove from the "That Don't Impress Me Much" video, an AC/DC t-shirt worn on her Rolling Stone magazine cover, one picture of her parents, another with her dog and a Canadian flag. The video won the MuchMoreMusic Video of the Year Award at the 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards. Commercially it is available on select CD singles and the DVD-Audio version of Up!.
