"Austin", alternatively titled "Austin (Boots Stop Workin')" on streaming platforms, is a song by American singer Dasha, released through Version III as a single on November 17, 2023, from her second studio album What Happens Now? Dasha co-wrote the song, which went viral on TikTok. "Austin" became Dasha's first single to chart, peaking at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 2024. Outside of the United States, "Austin" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Belgium (Flanders), Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

Background and composition

[edit]

"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

[edit]

Released on November 17, 2023,[2] 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 750,000 videos on the platform, as of May 2024.[3] At the end of May 2024, the song was retitled "Austin (Boots Stop Workin')" on streaming services and digital platforms.

Live performances

[edit]

Dasha made her CMT Music Awards performance debut on April 7, 2024, with a performance of "Austin".[4] She made her Grand Ole Opry debut on June 15, 2024, performing "Austin" and "Talk of the Town", another track from What Happens Now?[5]
