## Music video

The music video for "You've Got a Way" was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Paul Boyd. It was filmed on May 2 and debuted on May 24, 1999, on CMT. The video has a springtime feel, with Twain in a flower dress, walking around a garden, which at the end of the video is revealed to only be a music video set. Videos were released with both the 'Original Album Version' and the 'Notting Hill Remix' and each with either scenes from Notting Hill or just of Twain, called the Performance Only Version. The 'Notting Hill Remix' (Performance Only) version of the video is available on Twain's compilations Come On Over: Video Collection (1999) and The Platinum Collection (2001). After the video shoot, Twain donated the flower dress to the Shania Twain Centre, in her hometown of Timmins, Ontario.
