Shania Twain Releases New Single 'Little Miss Twain' Reflecting on Her Origins
The country icon's latest track draws from her small-town Canadian upbringing and personal journey.
Shania Twain has released a new single titled LITTLE MISS TWAIN, a track that looks back at her origins and the early experiences that shaped her career.
The seventh studio album, also titled LITTLE MISS TWAIN, is out now via Republic Nashville. The deeply personal record traces the experiences, sounds, and memories that shaped the artist before the world knew her name, revisiting Twain's childhood and teenage years growing up in Canada and the musical influences that helped define her sound. Across 15 tracks, the album blends country, pop, rock, soul, and bluegrass. It was released on July 24, 2026.
'It's such a full circle experience for me mentally and emotionally,' Twain says. 'The stories come from a time in my life where so many styles of music were influencing me and shaping how I hear music. It's me giving fans a taste of where I came from and how that shaped my point of view.'
Pre-release singles 'Dirty Rosie,' 'Little Miss Twain,' and 'Faded Blue Jeans' offered an early glimpse at the deeply personal storytelling at the heart of the album. The title track captures a defining moment in Twain's journey, as she recalls her mother believing she would become the next Tanya Tucker, a dream made even more poignant by Tucker herself joining Twain on the track. The album also features an extraordinary lineup of collaborators, including Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age, The War And Treaty, T Bone Burnett, Ronnie Wood, Ray Parker Jr., and Toto's David Paich.
Twain celebrated the release of LITTLE MISS TWAIN with a surprise performance at New York City's Racket NYC. The show offered fans a rare opportunity to experience Twain in an intimate setting reminiscent of where her legendary career began. The exclusive performance featured songs from LITTLE MISS TWAIN, alongside chart-topping hits and fan favorites. The celebration followed her Wednesday night appearance and performance on THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON, where she performed 'Dirty Rosie.'
From the very beginning of her career, Twain forged ahead with a vision all her own, blazing the trail for the crossover success of country music, the erosion of genre strictures, and a new generation of similarly uncompromising female country stars that claimed her as a primary influence. Twain broke records at every turn, making history as the first artist to ever release three consecutive Diamond-certified albums. Yet even with the range and impact of her past work, she has never written something as self-referential and introspective as LITTLE MISS TWAIN.
With 2017's NOW, Twain ended a 15-year break from releasing music. She followed it in 2023 with QUEEN OF ME, and kicked off the global Queen Of Me Tour, which ranked among the Top 10 highest-grossing country tours of the year. In between tours, she also launched sold-out Las Vegas residencies. The title of the new album calls back to Twain's days as an eight-year-old singing late night at the bar.
