Up! is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was released on November 19, 2002, by Mercury Nashville. Three versions of the album were released: a pop version (red disc), a country version (green disc), and a version in the style of Indian film music (blue disc). This was the last album of Twain's career (excluding her 2004 Greatest Hits collection) to be produced by her then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange before their divorce and her last studio release until 2017's Now.
The album became a commercial success, albeit less successful than Come On Over. Up! gave Twain her best first week sales in the United States, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts, later becoming the best-selling country album of 2003 in the US and third overall among all genres. Internationally, Up! was a commercial success, entering the top ten in almost all the markets it entered and topped the charts in Australia, Twain's native Canada, Germany, New Zealand, and the UK country charts. On September 23, 2004, the RIAA certified Up! at eleven-times platinum,[1] giving her the distinction of being the only female artist to have three consecutive diamond albums released in the United States. The album was promoted with multiple interviews and live performances including the 2003 Super Bowl halftime show and the successful Up! Tour.
Eight singles were released from the album, although no country received all eight of them. "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" became a top-ten success across Europe while also hitting number seven on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. "Up!" reached the top-20 of the country airplay chart while hitting the top five in Canada and Hungary. The Europe-exclusive "Ka-Ching!" became Twain's biggest success in the continent while "Forever and for Always" was the album's best-performing single on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Thank You Baby!" was a moderate hit in Europe. "When You Kiss Me" was released as a double a-side with "Up!", reaching the top-forty in the United Kingdom. "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" would be Twain's last solo top-ten hit on the country charts while "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing" became a minor top-twenty Adult Contemporary hit.
