I Feel Like a Woman.”

​

Fans of Twain are quite familiar with this album. The track list includes many of her most iconic songs, including “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” and “You’re Still the One.” 

​

It took five years after her hit third studio album came out to drop her fourth collection. Up! included songs like “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” and “Forever and Always.” 

​
