You have a Mutt Lange song on the album. Tell us how this came about.
I do. Well, he submitted it. He sent it in. He's really secretive and private about what he has. Lord knows how many songs he has stashed away some place, but I guess he had me in mind at some point.
Did he write "Who Are You" for you?
Honestly, I'm not really sure. I don't know when he wrote it, but somewhere along the way he must have thought, "Hey, Carrie would sound good on this." I don't know what he thought but I'm glad whatever he thought, he thought it, because he sent it in. It was a nice last track. It really fit there nicely. ... The great thing about that song is it can be whatever you need it to be. It can be about a parent. It can be about somebody that you love, guy or girl, whatever. It can be about God. It's just about that rock, that person, that thing in your life that saves you.
Yeah, it's a huge song. Bringing up Mutt, though, makes me think of Shania Twain. [Editor's note: Lange was married to Twain, wrote songs with her and produced her albums.] And that makes me think of something I wanted to ask you after "Before He Cheats" came out. If you had a night of Shania karaoke, what song would you sing?
I love the classic Shania, the kind of original Shania. The "Any Man of Mine" kind of Shania. Those are always a lot of fun. Of course, I listened to her growing up. So, yeah, I'd definitely pick some of the early Shania.
