"Today Is Your Day" is a song performed by Canadian singer-songwriter Shania Twain. It was self-penned by Twain and co-produced by the singer alongside David Foster and Nathan Chapman. The song was released on June 12, 2011 by Mercury Nashville Records, as a promotional single to accompany the documentary television series ''Why Not? with Shania Twain'' (2011). The song marked Twain's first song release in over six years. Twain wrote the track for self-inspiration, during the development of ''Why Not? with Shania Twain''. To her, "Today Is Your Day" became the theme song for the series, expressing the purpose behind it via music. Despite feeling apprehensive, Twain decided to record the track, which induced her to create her forthcoming fifth studio album. The track is midtempo ballad in the country pop genre. Lyrically, "Today Is Your Day" regards personal upliftment. "Today Is Your Day" is Twain's first piece of music to have had no involvement with now ex-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange in 18 years. "Today Is Your Day" has received mixed reviews from music critics and mild commercial performance in Canada and the United States. On the Canadian Hot 100, the song peaked at number 16, while, in the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, it peaked at number 66. It became Twain's first effort to enter the main-genre chart since "Party for Two" (2004). Despite not receiving an official music video, a promotional music video was gathered from footage from ''Why Not? with Shania Twain''. ==Background== In 1993, prior to success, Twain released her eponymous debut studio album, which caught the attention of record producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The two collaborated on songwriting via phone calls for six months, and later established a romantic relationship. Soon after, they wedded in December 1993 and Twain's second studio album ''The Woman in Me'' (1995) established Twain as a superstar, selling over 12 million copies in the United States. Twain and Lange continued to collaborate on her subsequent albums ''Come on Over'' (1997) and ''Up!'' (2002); the prior went on to sell over 40 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling album by a female artist.〔 After selling a total of over 75 million records worldwide, making her the top-selling female artist in country music history, Twain decided to take a musical hiatus in 2005.〔 In 2008, it was announced that after 14 years of marriage, Twain and Lange were in the process of divorcing.〔 The singer had discovered her husband was infidel with her best friend Marie Anne Thiebaud, although Lange and Thiebaud never admitted to it. The divorce was finalized on June 9, 2010. According to Twain, she became depressed and lost her desire to live following the divorce. As a distraction from it, Twain commenced to write her memoir ''From This Moment On'' (titled after the 1998 song of the same name). She then began to re-evaluate her life and noted a pattern of attempting to withhold emotions, which affected her voice (for both speaking and singing).〔 She explained the loss of her voice was attributed to a cumulative stress that began with domestic violence in her childhood,〔 continued with the death of her parents and the stress from her musical career,〔 and finally exploded with the divorce.〔 As a result, the singer developed dysphonia, an impairment in the ability to produce voice sounds using the vocal organs as a result of tightened muscles enveloping her voice box.〔 In order to recover her voice and heal wounds caused by the divorce, Twain embarked on a documented journey with the series ''Why Not? with Shania Twain''.〔 The goal was executed via Twain performing acts out her comfort zone to once again be able to perform, while inspiring viewers to be proactive about their dilemmas.〔
