"Shine" is the third single from Australian singer-songwriter Vanessa Amorosi's debut album, The Power (2000). After its release on 15 May 2000, the ballad[1] debuted and peaked at number four on the Australian Singles Chart and earned a platinum disc from the Australian Recording Industry Association. On 29 January 2001, it was released in Europe, reaching the top 50 in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. "Shine" won an APRA Award in 2001 for Most Performed Australian Work.[2]
"Shine" was adopted by Ansett Airlines for their final advertising campaign before the company went bankrupt and had to shut down. "I jinxed them with my song!" Amorosi said. "That was heartbreaking, actually. We had some little goodbye parties and stuff. It was horrible".[3] Mark Holden covered the song in 2004 for his Live at the George Ballroom DVD/EP.
