She believes that they were meant to be together and that, in spite of all the trials they have been through, her parents shared a very pure and true love. In her biography, Twain states that she continues to cherish the song in memory of her mother and of her stepfather. Twain and Lange divorced twelve years later in 2010 after 17 years of marriage, due to an affair between Lange and her best friend. In this ode to the union between her and Lange, Twain expresses her happiness with their relationship, and satisfaction with proving the critics wrong. She stated that Lange singing the counter line as backing vocals in the song got her "feeling very excited" and led her to sing the chorus melody and both to come up with the title "You're Still the One". In her 2011 memoir From This Moment On, she described the process of writing the song: she and Lange each wrote separate ideas for songs for the album Come on Over and collated them together later. In an interview with Top of the Pops in 1999, she mentioned that she and Lange never intended to write a song about themselves, but that they were simply influenced by the press criticism. Twain disagreed with these criticisms and wanted to address them in public and this led to her writing "You're Still the One". In essence, the critics did not expect their relationship to last. When Shania Twain and Robert John "Mutt" Lange became romantically involved in the mid 1990s, there was criticism of their relationship, namely claims that the age difference was extreme, and that Twain was solely using him to further her career.
