"Shoes" is a song performed by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the first single released from the Desperate Housewives soundtrack in 2005.

The song was originally written and recorded for use on the ABC television program Desperate Housewives.

Song information

The music video for "Shoes" was to feature the four main actresses of Desperate Housewives alongside Twain, and debut before the second season premiere, however the video was canceled. The song did fairly well on the charts considering there was no promotion by the label or Twain, it reached number 29 at country radio. The single was later released for airplay in Australia and Europe, with a new pop mix. A few adult contemporary stations in Canada played the remix of "Shoes" produced by Joe Bermudez. According to his website, the producers of the show wanted something more "hip" to play for the show, and that's why a third version of the song was made. In 2006 it was announced "Shoes" would be released commercially in the UK, but the release was never shipped from EMI to retailers, and was finally canceled. This is the second time a single release was canceled in the UK, the last time was in 2004, when "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" was canceled.
