By the Numbers
Now flips Shania Twain's authorship to its purest form: she wrote every song on the standard album entirely by herself, the first time her name stands alone across a full record. The collaboration moved to the production side, where Ron Aniello, Jake Gosling, Jacquire King, and Matthew Koma each handled different tracks, so the producer column varies song to song while the writing credit stays hers alone throughout.
Now is the fifth studio album by Shania Twain, released in September 2017 and her first new music in fifteen years, after a hiatus driven by a vocal disorder and the end of her marriage to Robert John 'Mutt' Lange. For the first time she wrote the entire album by herself, working with a rotating set of pop producers including Ron Aniello, Jake Gosling, Jacquire King, and Matthew Koma rather than a single collaborator. The result is a personal, pop-leaning record that reflects her life after Lange, and it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, her fourth chart-topping album. Now marks the point where Twain became the sole author of her own songs.
