"'Honey, I'm Home'" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music artist Shania Twain. It was released in August 1998 as the sixth single from her album 'Come On Over', and the fifth to country radio. The song was written by Twain and her then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange who produced the track. The song was originally released in the summer of 1998 following the mass success of "You're Still the One". The song went on to become Twain's seventh and to date, final number one single on the 'Billboard' Country singles chart. "Honey, I'm Home" was included in both her Come on Over Tour and Up! Tour, as well as her Miami, Dallas and Chicago video specials. No commercial single was made available for this release.
Music video
The music video for "Honey, I'm Home" was taken from Twain's Louisville, Kentucky concert on July 8, 1998, it was released on August 19, 1998 on CMT. The video was directed by Larry Jordan. This was the first of three live videos taken from 'Come on Over'. Unlike the other two, "Come on Over" and "Rock This Country!", "Honey, I'm Home" documents the entire show, while the other two are just of the performance of the respective song. Two versions of the video were made, one dubbing the 'Original Album Version' audio over the live footage, and the other dubbing the 'International Single Mix' over the live soundtrack. The 'Original Album Version' is available on Twain's compilations 'Come On Over: Video Collection' (1999) and 'The Platinum Collection' (2001), while the 'International Mix' can be seen on YouTube.
Chart performance
Twain's label, Mercury, did not release a commercial single for "Honey, I'm Home," and as such it was ineligible to chart on the 'Billboard' Hot 100. "Honey, I'm Home" debuted on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart the week of August 8, 1998 at number 70. The single spent 26 weeks on the chart and climbed to a peak position of number one on October 31, 1998, where it remained for one week. The single became Twain's seventh and to-date last number one at country radio. It also became her ninth top ten (fifth consecutive), and her 11th top 20 single on the country charts. "Honey, I'm Home" also topped the Hot Country Recurrents chart for one week.
