(2003)"I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" is a Juno Award winning song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the first single released from her 2002 album "Up!". The song was written by Mutt Lange and Shania Twain. "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" was originally released to American radio on September 23 2002. Shania chose "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" as the first single for "Up!" since she felt it was relatable to past Shania singles, and she didn't want something too unfamiliar. The song has become one of her biggest hits worldwide, charting in different countries that she has never had hits in before. At the 2003 Juno Awards "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" was named Country Recording of the Year. [http://www.shaniatwain.com/about-awards.asp Shania Twain awards]

Critical reception

Music video

The music video for "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" was shot in London, UK and directed by Paul Boyd. It was filmed on August 22 and 23, 2002 and debuted on CMT on October 4 2002. The video is set in a futuristic setting, with Twain riding a motorcycle trying to escape a flying robot, at the end of the video Twain finds a clone of herself performing behind glass, which she breaks. The video was a success, peaking at number one on VH1's weekly countdown. The video won the Best Video of the Year Award at the 2003 Canadian Country Music Awards, and Concept Video of the Year at the 2003 CMT Flameworthy Awards. The 'Red SFX Edit' version of the video is available on the DVD-Audio version of "Up!". After the video shoot, Shania donated the "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" costume to the Shania Twain Centre in her hometown of Timmins, Ontario.

In total there are six versions of the "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" video. The first to be released was the original version for both the 'Red' and 'Green' radio mixes. These were later replaced by an 'SFX Edit' version for both Red and Green versions which featured more sound effects from the motorcycle and robot. The 'Blue' mix was released solely in India, and an alternative 'Red' version was released featuring only Twain and her band performing behind the glass wall to the longer album version, unlike the original video which is shortened to suit the radio edit.

Promotion

Promotion started in Europe, where in Germany she performed on "Wetten, dass..?", in the UK she performed at BBC, "Royal Variety Show", "", and "Top of the Pops". In Sweden she performed the single on "Bingolotto" and in Portugal she performed on the "Herman SIC Show". In Italy she performed at the Festival della canzone italiana. Following promotion in Europe she head to Japan where she performed at the Japan Music Festival. In November of 2002, she head to North America, where she performed the song for the first time at the 2002 Country Music Awards on November 6. In New York the song was performed on "The Late Show" on the album release day (November 19) and "The Today Show". In Canada Shania headlined the Grey Cup half time show from Edmonton, and performed "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" and "Up!" on November 24.
