Riley Green is taking fans back to the ’90s. The country crooner took to Instagram on Monday to share his cover of Shania Twain’s 1997 track, “You’re Still the One.”

In the video, Green shows off his deep, soulful vocals as he plays guitar. Green’s acoustic version of the track is much more stripped down than Twain’s rendition.
The lyrics, however, are just as romantic coming out of Green’s mouth as they were when Twain first sang them nearly three decades ago.
“You’re still the one I run to / The one that I belong to / You’re still the one I want for life / You’re still the one that I love / The only one I dream of / You’re still the one I kiss goodnight,” the song’s chorus goes.
As for why Green chose that song to cover, he wrote in the caption, “Somethin about being back on the farm always makes me want to pick a little bit. What a song.”
Green’s fans were quick to lavish praise in the comments, calling his cover “beautiful,” “haunting,” and “the best.”
Riley Green’s Plans for 2025
Green’s latest cover came as he prepares to hit the road for his Damn Country Music Tour. The singer, who will be supported by Ella Langley on the road, will kick off the tour in March. Shows will run through August, before Green heads to the U.K. for even more concerts. In October, Green will wrap up a busy year by playing the Field & Stream festival in South Carolina.
The tour follows the October release of Green’s latest album, Don’t Mind If I Do.
When it comes to how he got to where he is today, Green largely credits his father.
“Pops, I learned a lot from him growing up,” he said in a December Instagram video. “It goes back to hard work. I hope I got some of that from him. When you have somebody in your life that you learn so much from, I have to attribute a lot of my success to the values and the lessons I learned from him.”
