Shania Twain has released "Faded Blue Jeans," a gritty guitar duet with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. The track is the final preview single from her upcoming album, Little Miss Twain, set to drop July 24, according to Rolling Stone.
Twain wrote the song entirely on her own. It draws on teenage first love, with the pair trading lines like: "Faded blue jeans, big holes in the knees / Had 'em ever since I was seventeen." The Music Universe called the track nostalgic and rebellious in equal measure.
Homme's Guitar Brings Grit to Twain's Country Pop
"Faded Blue Jeans" runs about two and a half minutes. That short, radio-friendly runtime packs in blues-driven guitar from Homme and a punchy chorus. Rolling Stone described the track as a country rock bop that blends Twain's pop instincts with Homme's heavier sound.
The song is one of the album's most unexpected pairings. Twain handles the nostalgic storytelling while Homme's guitar work gives the track a raw, bluesy edge. It's a sharp left turn from her glossy 1990s hits like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman."
Little Miss Twain Blends Country, Soul, and Bluegrass
Little Miss Twain is more than a country pop record. AOL and 105.7 The Point both noted the album pulls in soul and bluegrass alongside rock, showing a wider sonic ambition than Twain's previous work.
"Faded Blue Jeans" follows earlier singles from the album. Fans can pre-order Little Miss Twain now. Amazon is offering an exclusive bonus track with pre-orders. Twain's official store carries a limited picture-disc edition for collectors, according to The Music Universe.
Homme and Twain Both Active on the Summer Tour Circuit
Both artists are busy this summer beyond the studio. Queens of the Stone Age will support Foo Fighters on a North American stadium tour starting in early August. That puts Homme on some of the biggest stages of the season right around the album's July 24 release.
Twain has also been touring. She recently opened for Harry Styles, keeping her profile high as anticipation builds for Little Miss Twain. The collaboration with Homme has drawn extra attention from rock fans who might not usually follow her work, according to Yahoo.
A Teenage Memory Drives the Song's Personal Core
Twain based "Faded Blue Jeans" on a real teenage relationship. The lyric imagery is direct and physical: rolling in the grass, holes in the knees, jeans worn since seventeen. AOL noted the song was "inspired by one of her teenage relationships."
That personal angle sets it apart from a typical genre crossover. Twain owns every word — she wrote it alone. The song gives her full creative control while letting Homme's guitar carry the rebellious energy the story needs.
