See Shania Twain Ride Pastel Unicorn in New ‘Still the One’ Video

But perhaps the most surreal aspect is Zedd's dance-floor version of the song

The opening lyrics to Shania Twain‘s “You’re Still the One” take on surrealistic new levels of meaning in the video for her dance-floor ready redo of the song with Zedd: “Looks like we made it/Look how far we’ve come, my baby,” she sings … riding a star-adorned unicorn. The video, which is essentially an ad for Candy Crush since the game sponsored the collab, bursts with glimmery psychedelia, literally Shania in the Sky With Diamonds. Filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund directed the clip.

There’s a pink vulture, flying Swedish fish, singing cacti, a blot-out-the-sun-like-E.T.-silhouette moment, a “glamwash” — and that all takes place two-and-a-half full minutes before Twain even sees Zedd. By then, her unicorn’s legs are motorcycle wheels, and all that’s left is a electro-house line dance. “We mighta took the long way,” Twain sings early in the song, but she likely never thought she’d get here someday.

“Bringing ‘You’re Still the One’ back with Zedd, and building this special world with Candy Crush for fans to play in, felt like the perfect way to give the song new life,” Twain said in a statement. “It feels exactly right.”

“I was super happy Candy Crush brought me and Shania Twain together,” sed Zedd. “She’s a legendary artist, and I grew up listening to her music, so being able to collaborate with her on a new version of such an iconic song has been really special.”

Twain originally recorded “You’re Still the One” for her 1997 album Come On Over. Cowritten with producer and Twain’s then-husband, Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the song was intended as a middle finger to naysayers who thought their marriage wouldn’t last.

“Mutt and I are an unlikely pair,” Twain told The Spokesman-Review in 1997. “There’s been talk in the tabloids that we’re divorcing, but we are very happy. We love each other in every way. We have a great creative relationship and a great personal relationship. We feel as strong as ever, and ‘Still the One’ is sort of my own personal victory song about the marriage.” After the couple divorced in 2010, Twain called “You’re Still the One” “the people’s song” and said, “it no longer applies to Mutt and I.”
