Deborah L. Jacobs

That feeling is at the center of Shania Twain’s “Who’s Gonna Be Your Girl.” With every word, she opens the door to a private moment of pain. The song feels like a letter never sent, filled with honesty too heavy to say out loud. It is soft, but it stays with you.

She does not yell or blame, she simply tells the truth about what it feels like to be taken for granted. You can hear the loneliness between the lines. You can also hear the power it takes to walk away without making noise.
