Shania Twain appeared on The Tonight Show to perform her song “Dirty Rosie” and to chat with host Jimmy Fallon. Twain took the late-night stage alongside her live band to showcase the rousing track, off her new LP, Little Miss Twain.
The song reflects on the singer’s love for her first truck and early years of driving. “Dirty trucks were the only kind of trucks we had and they were always old and rickety and we could not afford new ones and nobody shines their truck,” she recently told Hits Radio Breakfast. “I remember my dad’s truck, it was a red truck, but it faded, of course, to a rosy color.”
Twain sat down with Fallon to discuss the album, out tomorrow, and to explain why she skipped Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce to perform before Harry Styles in London. Twain joined Styles at Wembley Stadium for a record-breaking 12 shows.
“This was such a special invitation,” she said. “I had a great time. This was obviously his home city. 90,000 a night. So it was just a very exciting, great atmosphere.”

The track is the final preview of Twain’s upcoming album ‘Little Miss Twain’, which is set to be released on July 24 via Republic Nashville, and follows on from her 2023 record ‘Queen Of Me’.
She explained that she initially met Styles “backstage at a very small show.” “We just chatted for a little bit,” Twain recalled. “He was still just getting going. He wasn’t the Harry he is now. We chatted, we exchanged numbers, and he called me a little bit later and said, ‘You know, it’s my mom’s birthday coming up. Would you mind wishing her a happy birthday because she’s the person that introduced me to your music and made it the soundtrack of my youth?'”
Written solely by Twain, ‘Faded Blue Jeans’ is a nostalgic, guitar-driven song inspired by one of the singer’s teenage relationships, reflecting on the feeling that young love could last forever.
The track also channels the rock, blues and rebellious spirit that shaped Twain’s youth, with Homme adding vocals to bring a rawer edge to the song.
‘Little Miss Twain’ has already been previewed with previous singles ‘Dirty Rosie’ and the title track, and fans can pre-order a limited-edition ‘Faded Blue Jeans’ picture disc from Twain’s official store here.
The track is taken from Mastodon’s upcoming album ‘Marrow Deep’, which is set to arrive on August 28. It marks Homme’s second collaboration with the band, following his appearance on ‘Colony Of Birchmen’ from their 2006 album ‘Blood Mountain’.
Queens Of The Stone Age have also just shared their own first new single in three years, the psychedelic ‘Easy Street’, featuring country-rock artist Nikki Lane.
“We made it the way you’d make a demo,” Homme said of the song. “No click track, mistakes left in, weird claps that aren’t in time, fluctuating tempo. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”
