He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989.

Written by Twain and Lange, it is a piano-driven country pop ballad incorporating guitar, organ, and mandolin. Mercury Records released "You're Still the One" to U.S. contemporary hit radio stations on January 13, 1998, as the album's first pop radio single.
