"From This Moment On" is a song by Canadian country singer Shania Twain. It was the fourth country single released from her 1997 multi-platinum album, Come on Over, while it was the second to be released to North American pop radio and third to international markets. The song was written by Mutt Lange and Shania Twain. It became her second biggest single on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to become Twain's ninth top-ten single on the Billboard Country singles chart. It was also her second number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary singles chart. The original version of the song featured fellow country singer Bryan White, while a new re-recorded version featured Twain solo. A special live duet version featuring the Backstreet Boys, was performed in Miami during the 1999 leg of Twain's Come on Over Tour. "From This Moment On" was included in both the Come on Over and Up! tours, as well as her Miami, Chicago and Up! Close and Personal specials. Twain has stated that during performances of the song on stage at shows, there have been incidents of couples proposing to each other. Shania wrote this song for her parents, who died suddenly when Shania was 22, and it is dedicated to their love for her and her love for them. At the 1999 Canadian Country Music Awards, "From This Moment On" won the award for Vocal/Instrumental Collaboration of the Year.

Music video

The music video for "From This Moment On" was filmed in New York City and directed by Paul Boyd. It was shot on August 27, 1998 and released on September 27, 1998, two months after it peaked in the country music format. It depicts Twain wearing a long dress and a bindi. She is walking down a hallway, trying to go through several doors; however, they are all locked. Finally she finds an unlocked door, proceeds through it and finds an orchestra being led by a conductor. She stands in front and finishes singing the song. The video, with an extra blooper at the end, is available on Twain's DVD The Platinum Collection.
