Dasha Reflects on "Highest Highs Ever" and "lowest, darkest times" Upon Release of Surprise New Single 'Heartbreaker From Tennessee'

Dasha has offered us a brand new single in the form of the punchy 'Heartbreaker From Tennessee'.

Following up on the deluxe edition of her debut project What Happens Now? which delivered her standalone bops 'Didn't I' and 'Bye Bye Bye', the track is is a forlorn yet powerful number that has the country-pop sensation lingering over a fling that stings with regret.

'Heartbreaker From Tennessee' is a frank and vulnerable number that once again displays Dasha's penchant for a turn of phrase that'll be hard to let go of. "My pride's still laying in your downstairs couch" she admits in the first line, the poeticism of the line weighed heavily by the hurt and self-deprecation of the words themselves.

"My self-control, I don't know where that went / It's probably tangled up in the sheets / All my friends would be ashamed of me" she professes, capturing the conflicted and raw emotions that such a situation brews.

In the end, the realisation that there was no helping the person involved in the song brings everything into perspective; "It's funny how I swore I'd make a hero out of you / I hate to say that everything they said would turn out true"

'Heartbreaker From Tennessee' is another eviscerating and honest take from the Californian singer, who's quickly becoming an enduring songwriter in the genre.

Reflecting upon the past year, Dasha presented the song as a gift to her fans as "a small token of appreciation" for supporting her on the wild ride she's been on these past twelve months since the release of her global smash hit, 'Austin'.

“I get butterflies just thinking about this past year" Dash begins. "It went by so quick, I feel like I blinked and then it was over. It still doesn’t even feel real. I’ve been dreaming about this shit since I was a little kid and it truly blows my mind that this is my life now.

The singer goes on to admit that the reaction she has received from both from fans and critics, particularly those online, since the release and viral explosion of 'Austin' has led to a rollercoaster of intense emotions. "I’ve felt my highest highs ever that then got matched with my lowest, darkest times during all the madness," she admits. "It’s crazy to have your wildest dreams coming true while getting so much hate and judgment spit at you from people you’ve never met.

"I won’t lie, the non-stop work schedule, running on fumes and caffeine, while still expected to be on was hard. It is hard." Dasha continues. "I got the darkest mentally I’ve ever been, but stepping on stage and seeing all of your beautiful faces across the world this past summer and fall and hearing you scream the words to my songs recharged every battery in me".

"You make it so worth it, all the tears and anxiety, all nighters, every hard conversation that this damn song has brought me and my team in the past year, so worth it," She begins to close. "You made it so worth it. My fans, my followers, my friends, I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am that you're here on this journey with me. Still pinching myself that this is my life".
