"She's Taken a Shine" is a song written by Greg Barnhill and Richard Bach, and recorded by American country music artist John Berry. It was released in November 1996 as the second single from the album Faces. The song reached number 2 on both the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.[1] It also reached number 1 status on the Radio & Records Country Top 50 chart [2] and number 38 on the Billboard Top 100 Country Hits of 1997.

The lyric paints a vivid picture of two lovers and how Rosie's life changes in the light of the good relationship. The bridge defines her improved self worth (with her new found happiness) as coming from within herself, not just from Jessie's love, but more as a confirmation/validation within herself from his appreciation of her qualities.

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it a "great love song." She went on to say that Berry "delivers the song in a straightforward manner that brings the story to life and the skillful production lets his vocals shine."[3]
