"Love Gets Me Every Time" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Shania Twain. It was written by Twain along with her then husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and produced by Lange. It was released on September 23, 1997 by Mercury Records Nashville as the lead single from Twain's third studio album Come On Over (1997). It was chosen as such following weeks of careful deliberation and constant reconsidering. Originally titled "'Gol Darn Gone and Done It", the song's title was altered because of its difficulty to pronounce. The song regards falling in love despite numerous attempts to evade it. It is an uptempo number that prominently features fiddle.
Critics favored "Love Gets Me Every Time"'s immaculate production. The song became a success in country radio. It topped Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for five consecutive weeks, Twain's fifth and longest reign on the chart. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over 500,000 copies in the United States. "Love Gets Me Every Time" was also her seventh number-one country hit in Canada. Its music video was directed by photographer Timothy White during the photo shoot for Come On Over's album art. It features Twain in various performance scenes, along with behind-the-scenes shots. Furthermore, the song has become a staple on Twain's set lists, as it was performed live on the Come On Over Tour (1998–99) and Up! Tour (2003–04).

Background[edit]
"Love Gets Me Every Time" was written by Twain and her then husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and produced solely by Lange.[1] Twain developed the song at first and brought it to Lange under the title "'Gol Darn Gone and Done It", which derived from a country expression Twain had heard of.[2][3] The name made Lange burst in laughter when he first heard it, and the couple completed the song together. However, executives at Mercury Records Nashville were concerned that radio DJs would mispronounce the title's tongue twisting words when announcing the single.[2] Twain concurred, and renamed it "Love Gets Me Every Time" instead.[3] The track was chosen as the lead single for Come On Over after a few weeks of careful deliberation. Twain told CMT Totally in 1997, "We hard such a hard time choosing this first single. I don't know. We just ended up there. We went around in circles for weeks until we finally decided on that single. It really just felt right, and I really can't describe it any better than that. I think it's just one of those things where we had the chance to live with the options for a few weeks and everyone just ended up there. So, it just felt right. I guess we went with our gut on that one."[4] A CD single, 7" vinyl single and a cassette single were released simultaneously on September 23, 1997 in the US and Canada, featuring three versions of "Love Gets Me Every Time".[5] A second CD single and vinyl single with a dance mix of the song was released on the same day.[6] The song was later included on Twain's Greatest Hits (2004) compilation.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
Reviews from critics were generally favorable. Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly believed "Love Gets Me Every Time" followed the successful formula of her past hits, including a creamy vocal and infectious superstructure.[8] Deborah Evans Price of Billboard picked the single as having the most potential, predicting it would "rocket up the charts" given that Lange and Twain followed formula they created for Twain's previous album The Woman in Me (1995). Furthermore, she stated, "The lyric is lightweight, the performance is pretty much a matter of individual taste, and, as usual, the production is the real star here."[9] Matt Bjorke of About.com listed the song amongst the pros of Come On Over.[10] While reviewing Greatest Hits, Nick Reynolds of BBC called the track "infectiously cheerful", and spoke of it when explaining how Twain and Lange "raise[d] their game" on Come On Over.[11] "Love Gets Me Everytime" was awarded a BMI Country Award at the 1998 ceremony.[12]
Chart performance[edit]
"Love Gets Me Every Time" peaked at number four the Canadian Singles Chart, a now-defunct chart which only tracked physical single sales, and was compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Jam!.[13] "Love Gets Me Every Time" debuted at number 67 on RPM's airplay-measuring Canadian Country Singles chart on the week of September 22, 1997.[14] The following week it jumped to number 49.[15] On the week of October 13, 1997, in its fourth week on the chart, the single reached the chart's summit, where it remained for six consecutive weeks.[16][17][18][19][20][21] On the week of November 24, 1997, the song fell to number two, behind Paul Brandt's "A Little in Love".[22] The song spent a total of 37 weeks on the chart, spending its last week at number 87 on the week of June 15, 1998.[23] It was ranked fifth on RPM's Canadian Country Singles year-end chart of 1997.[24] In the US, "Love Gets Me Everytime" peaked at number 25 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, her highest peak position at the time.[13] The single also debuted at 29 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs on the week of October 4, 1997, her highest debut at the time.[25] After five weeks ascending the chart, the song climbed from number three to number-one on the week of November 8, 1997.[26] It remained atop the chart for five consecutive weeks, becoming Twain's fifth and longest reign on country radio and was once tied third for most weeks at number one by a female artist.[27] The track stayed on Hot Country Songs for a total of 20 weeks.[26] The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of over 500,000 physical copies in the US.[28]
Music video[edit]
Twain posing in a performance scene of the ""Love Gets Me Every Time" music video, which doubled as the photo shoot for the Come On Over's artwork.
The music video for ""Love Gets Me Every Time"" was directed by photographer Timothy White. The video was filmed on September 3, 1997 in New York City, New York, as White photographed Twain for the Come On Over album art.[29] The clip commences with a seemingly tired Twain exiting an elevator in casual apparel (a leopard print jacket, white tank top, blue denim pants, and tennis shoes) to begin the photo shoot. As it continues, the video features three performance scenes, along with behind-the-scenes footage of Twain selecting wardrobe for the photo shoot, undergoing hair and make up, and relaxing in her dressing room. The first performance scene is a close-up of Twain; the second captures Twain with teased hair, a red dress and red lipstick as she lies before a white backdrop; while the third is a black-and-white schemed shot of Twain standing before a black backdrop in a black, sequined crop top and matching, high-wasted pants. The video ends with a reverse video shot of its opening sequence.[30] The music video premiered on September 24, 1997 on Country Music Television (CMT).[29] The video is included on Twain's video compilations Come On Over: Video Collection (1999) and The Platinum Collection (2001).
Live performances[edit]
Twain first performed "Love Gets Me Every Time" at the 31st Country Music Association Awards (CMAs) on September 24, 1997 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee.[31]

Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli (sometimes Paccioli or Paciolo; c. 1447–1517) was an Italian mathematician, Franciscan friar, collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, and an early contributor to the field now known as accounting. He is referred to as "The Father of Accounting and Bookkeeping" in Europe and he was the first person to publish a work on the double-entry system of book-keeping on the continent.[3] He was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, Borgo Sansepolcro, Tuscany.

Life[edit]
Luca Pacioli was born between 1446 and 1448 in the Tuscan town of Sansepolcro where he received an abbaco education. This was education in the vernacular (i.e., the local tongue) rather than Latin and focused on the knowledge required of merchants. His father was Bartolomeo Pacioli; however, Luca Pacioli was said to have lived with the Befolci family as a child in his birth town Sansepolcro.[4] He moved to Venice around 1464, where he continued his own education while working as a tutor to the three sons of a merchant. It was during this period that he wrote his first book, a treatise on arithmetic for the boys he was tutoring. Between 1472 and 1475, he became a Franciscan friar. Thus, Luca Pacioli could be referred to simply as Friar Luca.
In 1475, he started teaching in Perugia, first as a private teacher, from 1477 holding the first chair in mathematics. He wrote a comprehensive textbook in the vernacular for his students. He continued to work as a private tutor of mathematics and was instructed to stop teaching at this level in Sansepolcro in 1491. In 1494, his first book, Summa de arithmetica, geometria, Proportioni et proportionalita, was published in Venice. In 1497, he accepted an invitation from Duke Ludovico Sforza to work in Milan. There he met, taught mathematics to, collaborated, and lived with Leonardo da Vinci. In 1499, Pacioli and Leonardo were forced to flee Milan when Louis XII of France seized the city and drove out their patron. Their paths appear to have finally separated around 1506. Pacioli died at about the age of 70 in 1517, most likely in Sansepolcro where it is thought that he had spent much of his final years.
Mathematics[edit]
The first printed illustration of a rhombicuboctahedron, by Leonardo da Vinci, published in De divina proportione, 1509
Woodcut from De divina proportione illustrating the proportions of the human face. Note that the lines or rectangles drawn do not correspond to the golden ratio; this is from the second part of the book, covering the Vitruvian system.
Further information: Mathematics and art
Pacioli published several works on mathematics, including:
Tractatus mathematicus ad discipulos perusinos (Ms. Vatican Library, Lat. 3129), a nearly 600-page textbook dedicated to his students at the University of Perugia where Pacioli taught from 1477 to 1480. The manuscript was written between December 1477 and 29 April 1478. It contains 16 sections on merchant arithmetic, such as barter, exchange, profit, mixing metals, and algebra. One part of 25 pages is missing from the chapter on algebra. A modern transcription has been published by Calzoni and Cavazzoni (1996) along with a partial translation of the chapter on partitioning problems (Heeffer, 2010).
Summa de arithmetica, geometria. Proportioni et proportionalita (Venice 1494), a textbook for use in the schools of Northern Italy. It was a synthesis of the mathematical knowledge of his time and contained the first printed work on algebra written in the vernacular (i.e., the spoken language of the day). It is also notable for including one of the first published descriptions of the bookkeeping method that Venetian merchants used during the Italian Renaissance, known as the double-entry accounting system. The system he published included most of the accounting cycle as we know it today. He described the use of journals and ledgers, and warned that a person should not go to sleep at night until the debits equaled the credits. His ledger had accounts for assets (including receivables and inventories), liabilities, capital, income, and expenses — the account categories that are reported on an organization's balance sheet and income statement, respectively. He demonstrated year-end closing entries and proposed that a trial balance be used to prove a balanced ledger. He is widely considered the "Father of Accounting". Additionally, his treatise touches on a wide range of related topics from accounting ethics to cost accounting. He introduced the Rule of 72, using an approximation of 100*ln 2 more than 100 years before Napier and Briggs.[5]
De viribus quantitatis (Ms. Università degli Studi di Bologna, 1496–1508), a treatise on mathematics and magic. Written between 1496 and 1508, it contains the first reference to card tricks as well as guidance on how to juggle, eat fire, and make coins dance. It is the first work to note that Leonardo was left-handed. De viribus quantitatis is divided into three sections: mathematical problems, puzzles, and tricks, along with a collection of proverbs and verses. The book has been described as the "foundation of modern magic and numerical puzzles", but it was never published and sat in the archives of the University of Bologna, where it was seen by only a small number of scholars during the Middle Ages. The book was rediscovered after David Singmaster, a mathematician, came across a reference to it in a 19th-century manuscript. An English translation was published for the first time in 2007.[6]
Geometry (1509), a Latin translation of Euclid's Elements.
De divina proportione (written in Milan in 1496–98, published in Venice in 1509). Two versions of the original manuscript are extant, one in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, the other in the Bibliothèque Publique et Universitaire in Geneva. The subject was mathematical and artistic proportion, especially the mathematics of the golden ratio and its application in architecture. Leonardo da Vinci drew the illustrations of the regular solids in De divina proportione while he lived with and took mathematics lessons from Pacioli. Leonardo's drawings are probably the first illustrations of skeletonic solids, which allowed an easy distinction between front and back. The work also discusses the use of perspective by painters such as Piero della Francesca, Melozzo da Forlì, and Marco Palmezzano. As a side note, the "M" logo used by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is taken from De divina proportione.[7]
Translation of Piero della Francesca's work[edit]
The majority of the second volume of Summa de arithmetica, geometria. Proportioni et proportionalita was a slightly rewritten version of one of Piero della Francesca's works. The third volume of Pacioli's De divina proportione was an Italian translation of Piero della Francesca's Latin writings On [the] Five Regular Solids. In neither case, did Pacioli include an attribution to Piero. He was severely criticized for this and accused of plagiarism by sixteenth-century art historian and biographer Giorgio Vasari. R. Emmett Taylor (1889–1956) said that Pacioli may have had nothing to do with the translated volume De divina proportione, and that it may just have been appended to his work. However, no such defence can be presented concerning the inclusion of Piero della Francesca's material in Pacioli's Summa.
Impact on accounting and business[edit]
Pacioli dramatically affected the practice of accounting by describing the double-entry accounting method used in parts of Italy. This revolutionized how businesses oversaw their operations, enabling improved efficiency and profitability. The Summa's section on accounting was used internationally as an accounting textbook up to the mid-16th century. The essentials of double-entry accounting have for the most part remain unchanged for over 500 years. "Accounting practitioners in public accounting, industry, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as investors, lending institutions, business firms, and all other users for financial information are indebted to Luca Pacioli for his monumental role in the development of accounting."[8]
Chess[edit]
Pacioli also wrote an unpublished treatise on chess, De ludo scachorum (On the Game of Chess). Long thought to have been lost, a surviving manuscript was rediscovered in 2006, in the 22,000-volume library of Count Guglielmo Coronini. A facsimile edition of the book was published in Pacioli's home town of Sansepolcro in 2008. Based on Leonardo da Vinci's long association with the author and his having illustrated De divina proportione, some scholars speculate that Leonardo either drew the chess problems that appear in the manuscript or at least designed the chess pieces used in the problems.[9][10][11][12]
