"Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)" is a song by Canadian singer Shania Twain, written by her and then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who also produced it.
The track received mixed reviews from music critics, who questioned why Twain released an "oddly disposable single.
"[1] Additionally, the track's dance-pop's remix, which was the version released for European and Australian audiences, was compared to Swedish group Rednex's single "Cotton Eye Joe" (1994).
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Songs of Polygram International, Inc., "Don't Be Stupid" is written in the key of D major with Shania Twain's vocals spanning from A3 to B5.
In August 1997, it was reported that Larry Jordan would be directing the music video, which Twain confirmed herself in early October 1997.
The video is set on a stage that is covered in water, and Twain is accompanied by backup Irish dancers following the Riverdance trend of the time and children playing fiddles.
"[5] For the dance mix, he rated it a "B+", saying, "Basically, they turned it into “Cotton Eye Joe”, making the original version a little more stupid but a lot more lovable.
