The Rodeo No One Saw Coming: Shania Twain, Zedd, and… Candy Crush?

If someone told you ten years ago that the country queen who taught us "That Don’t Impress Me Much" and the EDM DJ responsible for blowing out your car speakers would team up inside a smartphone puzzle game, you’d probably have asked for whatever candy they were eating.

​Yet, here we are in 2026, and the digital universe has given us a collaboration so gloriously surreal it makes perfect sense: Shania Twain and Zedd have officially joined forces for Candy Crush’s annual Music Season.

​The duo just released a dancefloor-ready reimagining of Twain’s 1998 mega-hit, “You’re Still the One.” Directed by legend Jonas Åkerlund, the accompanying music video drops viewers straight into "Candy Country"—a glittering, bedazzled Western fantasy where the saloons resemble gumdrops, rain takes the form of rhinestones, and rainbow rapids flow through technicolor deserts.

​Think Westworld, but make it aggressive amounts of pink, highly edible, and heavily bass-boosted.

​A Scavenger Hunt in Candy Country

​This isn't just a video; it's a giant, sugary game of "Where's Waldo?"

​Fans can head over to candyroadhouse.com to hunt for hidden codes, secret clues, and blue sugar stars peppered throughout the visual trip. The stakes are delightfully high for anyone willing to squint at their screens:

  • ​The Ultimate Trip: Six lucky winners will snag VIP passes to meet either Shania or Zedd on tour.
  • ​The Props: One-of-a-kind relics straight out of the video are up for grabs, including Zedd’s rhinestone-encrusted helmet.
  • ​The Holy Grail: Shania’s actual baby-pink, fringe-laden hero outfit. (Yes, you too could potentially own the pinkest country outfit in human history.)

​Swipe Right on Nostalgia

​At its heart, the track is a surprisingly slick bridge between late-90s country-pop nostalgia and modern festival electro-house. As Twain put it, giving the track a fresh spin alongside Zedd "felt like the perfect way to give the song new life." Zedd echoed the sentiment, noting he grew up on her music before adding his signature genre-blending production to the mix.

​Whether you haven't matched three striped candies since 2014 or you're currently stuck on Level 14,000, the in-game tournament is officially live through October 5th.

​So fire up the app, crank the volume, and prepare yourself: "You're Still the One" is about to be stuck in your head all over again—this time, with a heavy synth drop.
