In my opinion, the grouping of Black people behind that large billboard of a Black man's face represents the ideal oneness of the Black community and the raising of that little boy into the air represents Black people holding each other up and supporting each other as opposed to doing the opposite; especially with the male youth. The most beautiful part of the video.

I think this album serves a good introduction to anyone that wants to get into country music. It’s definitely accessible to fans of pop music (the songs are really catchy) while still keeping the obvious country music influences. As someone who had never listened to a country album before, this was quite enjoyable. It’s light-hearted and carefree and breezy. I approve!
Man! I Feel Like A Woman! – This is a cute song!! I actually remember it being really popular when I was like a toddler. – 9
I’m Holdin’ On To Love (To Save My Life) – Upbeat and high energy. I enjoy it when the guitar gets a chance to shine. – 8
Love Gets Me Every Time – I like the guitar riff throughout and whatever string instrument that is throughout.
Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) – I really like this song. It rides its slick rhythms perfectly. I just love the sound of that guitar plucking in the background. – 9
From This Moment On – Okay, I don’t think I like her slower fare. This song and the male singer could’ve both stayed at home tbh. – 3
Come On Over – This sounds like the most authentically country song thusfar. I really like the melody. – 8
When – Ehh…. – 5
Whatever You Do! Don’t! – Why do her song titles have those random ass exclamation marks? But anyways, this song is nice, but nothing special. – 6.5
If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask! - - 5
You’re Still The One – The lyrics and the fact that it’s country music mean I should hate this song. But I don’t. It’s quite enjoyable. – 8
Honey, I’m Home – Does this song sample the Red Hot Chili Peppers? It sounds really familiar. But I really like this song either way. Shania better get that good ****!! – 8.5
That Don’t Impress Me Much – I FOUND it!!! I remember this song from when I was little and I remember LOVING it. But I never had any idea who it was. Wasn’t Shania wearing like some leopard print catsuit in the video? YESSSS!!! – 10
Black Eyes, Blue Tears – Not my favorite, but still respectable. – 7
I Won’t Leave You Lonely - Ehh…. – 5
Rock This Country! – This song feels a bit like the album opener to me, but it’s still great. It doesn’t necessarily sound like a rehash. – 8
You’ve Got A Way – My favorite ballad on the album along with YSTO. It’s really sweet and sounds sincere. – 8
