"Austin" is a song by American singer Dasha, released through Version III as a single on November 27, 2023, from her second studio album What Happens Now? Dasha co-wrote the song, which went viral on TikTok and became her first single to chart, peaking at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in April 2024.

Background and composition

"Austin" came together after Dasha and her co-writers were working on a song titled "Play Dumb" about "knowing you're getting cheated on", which Dasha could not relate to. It was abandoned and the perspective of a "scorned woman" from that song was then used and turned into "something really boot-clappy and fun and kind of badass" for "Austin". It was described as a "catchy ode to a lover who just won't commit". [1]

Release

The song went viral on TikTok in March 2024, which was amplified after Dasha posted a video of herself line dancing to the song, leading to it being used in over 300,000 videos on the platform. [2]
