"Any Man Of Mine" appealed to women everywhere because of the sassy and assertive tone of the lyrics. It was a new form of feminism. She turned the tables with her "I love my man, but I love me too" lyrics. She combined country songs with pop style production and marketing, using video to create a dynamic image, injecting country with a more uptown style, and taking control of her career like no female had ever done in Nashville before. Shania set new benchmarks for everybody in country music.
