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
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]
