Shania Twain promises fans will hear more new music this summer, starting with her positively optimistic new single 91ƵLife91Ƶs About to Get Good.91Ƶ

The Timmins, Ont.-raised country star released the track online Thursday to coincide with the announcement that 91ƵNow!91Ƶ her first full-length album in nearly 15 years, arrives on Sept. 29.

91ƵThe day is finally here!!91Ƶ the five-time Grammy Award winner posted across her social media accounts with the hashtag 91ƵSummerOfShania.91Ƶ

Her label says other songs from the 16-track album will debut ahead of its release.

91ƵNow91Ƶ marks the first time Twain has served as the sole songwriter and co-producer on all of the tracks.

It follows an extended absence from making albums.

Twain91Ƶs most recent studio release was 200291Ƶs international smash 91ƵUp!91Ƶ But after extensive touring she was sidelined by a struggle with dysphonia, a vocal cord disorder that forced her to stop singing.

She also divorced her husband and longtime producing partner Robert (Mutt) Lange and battled Lyme disease.

While Twain dropped the 2011 single 91ƵToday is Your Day91Ƶ as she promoted her autobiography, an expected album never materialized.

In recent months Twain has been inching her way back into the spotlight.

She appeared on 91ƵThe Voice91Ƶ as a mentor for the singing competition and on James Corden91Ƶs late-night talk show. Twain also received Billboard91Ƶs 2016 Icon award and CMT91Ƶs Artist of a Lifetime honour.

Earlier this year Twain issued a statement saying 91ƵLife91Ƶs About to Get Good91Ƶ was inspired by a personal mission to be more positive and get through a 91Ƶpast of negativity.91Ƶ

91ƵYou can91Ƶt have the good without the bad,91Ƶ she said.
