Шаблон:Infobox song "I Ain't No Quitter" is a song by Canadian country-pop singer Shania Twain. It was released on May 2, 2005 to country radio and physically in Europe on July 12, 2005 as the third and final single from her first compilation album Greatest Hits (2004). Like mostly all of her discography at the time, the song was written by Twain and then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who also produced the track. "I Ain't No Quitter" lyrically is about Twain sticking around with an overconfident and brash man. The song is regarded as a fan favorite among Twain's discography.
Despite positive reviews, "I Ain't No Quitter" became one of her least successful singles. The song reached number 45 on the Hot Country Songs, marking her lowest officially released single since 1996's "God Bless the Child" on the chart. The song had virtually no promotion due to Twain's worsening Lyme disease. It wouldn't be until her 2012 Vegas residency Still the One where the song would be performed for the first time. She would also perform the single during her 2015 Rock This Country Tour.
Critical reception
Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine appreciated the single and said it was "catchy as all get out, while winking in the face of a classic country theme. It's an appreciable effort that should sparkle on the summer airwaves."[1]
Music video
The music video for "I Ain't No Quitter" was shot in Tijuana, Mexico, in March 2005, directed by Wayne Isham. It was released on May 5, 2005. The video is set in a country bar where there is a line dancing competition going on. The dancers throw in a bit of hip-hop influenced dancing. To keep with the country theme of the song and video, Twain wears a cowboy hat in every scene. The video is available on select CD singles of "I Ain't No Quitter". Шаблон:Clear left
