"Giddy Up!" on YouTube

"Giddy Up!" is a song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was released on January 5, 2023 by Republic Records as the second single from her sixth studio album Queen of Me (2023). [1] The song was written by Twain, Romans, Jessica Agombar, and David Stewart and produced by the latter. [2]

Background

Twain wanted the phrase "Giddy Up!" to evoke similar positive emotions as her famous line "Let's Go Girls!" from her 1999 hit " Man! I Feel Like a Woman!". [3] She remarked that she wanted to "set a celebratory tone and ‘Giddy up!’ is a way to call to the audience and say 'let’s get ready for some fun,'" while adding that the lines came to her while "thinking about how to put a little 'pep in my step'". [4] [5]

Critical reception

Edward Segarra of USA Today called the song a "country-pop banger," noting its "infectious chorus". [3] Rachel DeSantis of People described the song as a "catchy tune". [6] Mary Siroky of Consequence Sound named "Giddy Up!" the outlet's song of the week for January 6, 2023, noting Twain's "voice and undeniably charismatic touch". [7] Hattie Lindert of A.V. Club stated that the track "can sound ' Old Navy commercial' at times," but nonetheless, it "embodies the hope and levity of Twain’s catalog, and finds her nostalgic and grateful for her dollar-and-a-dream roots". [8] Madeleine O'Connell of Country Now said that the song "summons [Twain's] classic fun-loving sound and striking vocal range," adding that it is "yet another irresistible track for the dance floor". [9] Cillea Houghton of American Songwriter stated that "Giddy Up!" is "sure to be a crowd-pleaser during [Twain's] live show," adding that it "continues to stay in feel-good energy" like her previous single " Waking Up Dreaming". [10]

Music video

The official music video for "Giddy Up!" premiered on January 5, 2023. [11] It was directed by Justin Marmorstein of Marmo Films and features dance scenes shot in multiple locations, including a diner, a bar, a grocery store, and a honky tonk. [3] [6] [12] In each location, people break out into a choreographed dance. [13] [14] Twain promoted the video on social media by sharing a behind-the-scenes video of her attempting to work on an engine of a car. [15]
