Shania Twain Teams Up With Producer Malibu Babie On 'Giddy Up' Remix

Shania Twain has teamed up with producer Malibu Babie for a remix of "Giddy Up," a song from Twain's latest album, Queen of Me.

Babie, who has worked with Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, is the first and only woman to debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs as a producer this century.

"I like to work with talented people and its never really been part of my process to consider gender when choosing collaborators but I think it's important to work on closing this gender gap we all feel is still an obstacle," Twain said. "So in this instance I sought out a female remixer - I liked Malibu Babie's style and knew she was a fan from her TikTok mashup of one of my songs."

She added, "I think her 'Giddy Up! Remix' is awesome, she is so talented and I'm so pleased to give a fellow female producer the spotlight. I hope the fans love it as much as me!"

Queen of Me also features singles "Waking Up Dreaming" and "Last Day of Summer," and "The Hardest Stone," produced by Twenty One Pilots' Tyler Joseph.
