'Austin' is Dasha's big hit for 2024. The track captures the heartache and disillusionment of a partner who fails to leave town as planned.

Not only is it a country banger, but Dasha has perfected a line dance routine which makes it a perfect song for TikTok.

The song went viral on the platform after Dasha filmed various videos of her performing the routine, and now hundreds of people have given it a go, making it 2024's version of Whigfield's 'Saturday Night' (ask your mum).

The numbers speak for themselves: week-on-week, TikTok video creations using “Austin” increased by a staggering 326.58%, with video views soaring by 1235.90%.
