Shania Twain ‘s “You’re Still the One,” a Number Two hit from 1998, has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years with artists as diverse as Harry Styles , boygenius , and Christian Lee Hutson covering it, often as duets. Now, Ella Langley has joined the chorus of artists who find inspiration in the song, which is about a doomed couple hanging on inexplicably, kind of a less clever update of John Prine’s “In Spite of Ourselves” if you read the lyrics closely enough. But for what the song lacks in wit, Langley, like everyone else who has sung it (including Twain), makes up for it with sentimentality.

Langley accompanies herself on piano in the clip, which she posted to TikTok with the caption, “I’ll never get over this song.” The instrumentation and Langley’s quivering voice gives the tune an elegiac feel, as if she’s mourning a damaged relationship in real time, determined to lie herself into celebrating one anniversary after another with her lover. “Just look at us holding on,” she sings with true heart. “We’re still together, still going strong.” She almost sounds like she believes it. The rendition was so moving that Twain herself commented on it: “So flattered ❤️Loved getting to connect at ACMs xx.”

Langley’s most recent album, Dandelion , came out in April and was a Number One hit. The album’s “Choosin’ Texas” won two ACMs, and Langley claimed another three for herself and her duet with Riley Green, “Don’t Mind if I Do.”

Twain wrote the song with her then husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange, who produced her albums, as well as hits for Def Leppard and AC/DC. She was reflecting on naysayers prognosticating that the nearly two-decade age gap between the couple would lead to the couple’s demise.
