The Back Story - "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!"

Shania Twain: The Surprising Inspiration Behind “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”

With lyrics like “No inhibitions, make no conditions / Get a little outta line / I ain’t gonna act politically correct / I only want to have a good time / The best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun,” it’s all about letting loose for a no hold’s bar night on the town.
