Shania Twain has taken the viral TikTok trend by storm with a clever twist that references her iconic song “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” The trend encourages participants to share a defining experience from their 20s along with advice for the current generation navigating their own twenties. In her engaging video, Twain humorously advises young people about dealing with expectations during relationships.
“In your 20s, a man will ask you if you’re impressed. It’s very important you reply that don’t impress me much,” she declares in her video, which is paired with the caption, “And I will never be impressed.” This playful nod to her hit song resonates with many who have faced similar situations, making her take particularly relatable.
“That Don’t Impress Me Much,” featured on her 1997 album “Come On Over,” is not just a popular track; it’s a landmark in music history. The album holds the distinction of being the best-selling studio album by a female artist and the best-selling country album of all time. Twain’s strategy of releasing both country and international versions of the album, the latter replacing some country elements with pop influences, allowed her to bridge genres and achieve unprecedented success.
Twain’s inspiration for the song stems from an unforgettable moment involving ’90s heartthrob Brad Pitt. While baking cookies with a friend, she was struck by a news story about leaked private pictures of Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. Twain recalled her reaction: “I just thought, ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about.’ […] Well, that don’t impress me much.” This thought process highlights the song’s theme of confronting vanity and self-importance in relationships.
The catchy tune reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and continues to resonate with audiences today. Twain’s recent TikTok entry not only pays homage to her past but also reinforces her status as a relatable pop culture icon. As she connects with a new generation through social media, it’s clear that her music and messages remain timeless.
