Kane Brown Teases Shania Twain Collab Is a ‘Guy’s Version’ of Her ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under’

Kane Brown is giving a classic 1995 Shania Twain hit a romantic, devoted twist — and has invited the five-time Grammy winner to join him on the new rendition.

Brown recently previewed a new song, “Boots,” a take on Twain’s “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.” While Twain’s original was a scathing takedown of an unfaithful lover, Brown serves up a response from a committed lover’s perspective, with lyrics such as “Your lips are all that I’m kissin’/ When I’m gone, you’re all that I’m missin’.”

During a conversation with Elaina D. Smith on Backstage Country, Brown described the song as “the guy’s version” of Twain’s “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under.” “It’s not the same sound. It’s some of her same melodies, but then a whole different thing. So you’re getting a completely different, new song.”

He also described how the collab came about. “We were going to the ACMs, I was performing ‘Woman,’ and I said, ‘I’m gonna run into Shania,’ and I said, ‘We’re gonna do the song together.’ As I’m leaving, everybody’s like, ‘Yo, Shania’s trying to get a hold of you,'” he recalled. “So we went back and hung out with her in the green room. She had heard the demo, she hadn’t heard me on it yet. We had to also get her permission on the song. So she cleared it.”

On his social media pages, Brown also revealed the new collab is set to release on Friday (Sept. 4).

On Aug. 9, Brown previewed the song during his concert as part of Stir Concert Cove at Harrah’s Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel in Council Bluffs, Iowa. To date, Brown has notched a dozen No. 1 hits on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, while his most recent single, “Woman,” has reached the top 5 on the Country Airplay chart.

Twain’s original version of “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under” was included on her album The Woman In Me, and reached No. 11 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart in 1995.
