Shania Twain’s birthday shout-outs to Brad Pitt will never get old.

On Monday, the award-winning actor turned 60. PEOPLE marked the occasion by taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate his most iconic roles — and Twain entered the chat.

“…that don’t impress me much, but HBD 😘,” Twain, 58, wrote in the comments section of PEOPLE’s Instagram post, referencing a line from her 1997 hit song “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”

“Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt / That don’t impress me much,” Twain sings on the country-pop track. “So you got the looks, but have you got the touch? / Don’t get me wrong, yeah I think you’re alright / But that won’t keep me warm in the middle of the night.”

The star previously opened up about why she included the famous actor in the track in 2017, telling Billboard that it had to do with a scandal that was unfolding in the news regarding nude photos of Pitt amid his split from ex Gwyneth Paltrow.

“I remember I had a girlfriend visiting me and it was near Christmas and we were baking cookies,” Twain said at the time. “I was writing this album and there was a scandal of [Pitt] and Gwyneth where there were naked photos of him.”

“And this was like, all the rage,” she continued. “I just thought, ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about.’ I’m like, well that don’t impress me much, I mean what is all the fuss?”

The line in the song, therefore, was meant to downplay the controversy.

“We see people naked every day,” Twain said. “That’s really what I thought. I wasn’t picking on Brad Pitt. But that was just the association in that moment and things we make fusses about and whatever.”

Twain added, “Of course, it could have been any gorgeous guy.”

In 2020, she sent Pitt a similar birthday message by writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Happy Birthday to Brad Pitt, I’ll make an exception for today.”

In March, the “You’re Still the One” singer reveled she’s never met him in real life during an episode of the YouTube series Chicken Shop Date.

“Have you ever met a rocket scientist?” asked host Amelia Dimoldenberg, referencing another lyric from the same hit song.

“No,” said Twain. “I wrote about Brad Pitt. I never met Brad Pitt.”

“I think he’s avoiding me, honestly,” continued the singer-songwriter.
