Shania Twain – “Love Gets Me Every Time” (Official Music Video, 1997) 

Catchy, cheeky, and completely irresistible.

In 1997, Shania Twain kicked off her legendary Come On Over era with the upbeat, twangy charm of “Love Gets Me Every Time.” As the lead single from what would become one of the best-selling albums of all time, this track marked the beginning of a cultural takeover. Blending traditional country roots with polished pop sensibility, Shania delivered a sound that was fresh, fun, and fiercely confident.

“Oh that devil’s gonna get me if I don’t watch out…”
The lyrics are playful and self-aware, as Shania sings about trying — and hilariously failing — to resist the pull of love. She’s been warned, she’s seen the signs, but somehow, she always falls for it again. It’s a light-hearted twist on the classic love song, one that fans instantly connected with. The track’s infectious fiddle line and bouncy rhythm made it an instant radio staple and a crossover hit.

And then came the official music video — a burst of late-‘90s color, charisma, and pure Shania magic.

From the first frame, Shania is all smiles and sass. Set in a vibrant studio space filled with flashing lights and fun, flirty energy, the video keeps things simple but totally captivating. Whether she’s twirling in a red cowgirl outfit or laughing behind the scenes, there’s an effortless charm that radiates from her performance. She’s clearly having fun — and it shows.

 There are no elaborate storylines, no over-the-top drama — just Shania being Shania: confident, radiant, and undeniably cool. Her expressions, her movements, the way she interacts with the camera — it all makes you feel like she’s in on the joke and inviting you to join her. And let’s not forget that signature wink — the moment that sealed the video’s flirtatious charm.

With “Love Gets Me Every Time,” Shania proved once again that she didn’t need to rely on heartbreak ballads or overproduced visuals to make a statement. All she needed was a strong melody, some fiddle magic, and her magnetic personality. The song was a reminder that even when love feels like a trap, it’s a trap we kind of love falling into — especially when Shania’s leading the way.

Nearly three decades later, the song still sparkles with the same energy it had in 1997. It’s a feel-good favorite, a singalong staple, and a shining example of how Shania Twain took country-pop and made it her own — one wink at a time.
