The set features five new tracks, including the focus single “Bye Bye Bye”
Dasha, one of pop-country’s breakout stars, re-ups, re-charges, and reignites her acclaimed album What Happens Now? with a new deluxe edition via Warner Records.
“I’ve never really felt at home in any other space until the country genre. Releasing the deluxe version of What Happens Now? feels like the end of an era,” says the California native. “I’m really proud of this project and the chapter we created together and it has set me up for even better and brighter things in the future. The world of country generously opened their arms so big for me and my debut. Artists like Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini and Keith Urban have really encouraged me to go bigger and bolder while doing what I love as a human and an artist. For that, I’ll be forever thankful.”
She notably expanded the record with five new tracks. Dasha’s latest single “Bye Bye Bye” serves up one of her catchiest choruses yet. Revolving around acoustic guitar and a thumping stomp, she wrestles with the ups and downs of a toxic relationship. Once the upbeat chorus kicks in, she gains the courage to move on, “So, I said bye, bye, bye. I might die if I try and love you any harder.” Watch Dasha literally drag her ex in the “Bye Bye Bye” music video.
On “Leaving Don’t Mean Goodbye,” delicately plucked banjo accents Dasha’s smoky delivery. Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter’s storytelling takes center stage on “Way Too Drunk,” where she attempts to piece together a hazy night with a smile. Then, there’s “Ain’t No Friend of Mine” which plunges listeners headfirst into drama as it unfolds, “Honey you can have that man, it’s fine, but you ain’t no friend of mine.”
In other big news, the pop-country sensation’s mega-smash “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” just picked up a platinum certification from the RIAA in the United States and seven countries around the globe. All while Dasha continues her wildly successful Dashville, U.S.A tour. Later this fall, she is set to make stops in New York, Nashville, Los Angeles and more. Tomorrow (Sat, Sept 14th), she is set to take the stage at the Canadian Country Music Awards and on September 18th, the singer-songwriter will be making her return to Grand Ole Opry.
Meanwhile, “Didn’t I” has continued to pick up steam, reeling in north of 5.3 million Spotify streams and 1.3 million YouTube views on the music video. Dasha initially debuted the song live on stage to a crowd of over 70,000 people at Nissan Stadium in Nashville during CMA Fest.
Earlier this year, Dasha notably made her debut at the iconic Grand Ole Opry. The milestone performance marked a significant moment in Dasha’s burgeoning career as she joined the ranks of artists like Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Lady A, Blake Shelton and many more who have graced the stage of Grand Ole Opry. The singer-songwriter also performed at the 2024 CMT Awards, graced the carpet of the 2024 ACM Awards, and performed at Stagecoach, Hangout Music Festival, Lollapalooza, and more. She is slated to return to the 2025 Stagecoach Music Festival alongside names like Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, Lana Del Rey, and more.
Beyond tallying over ten billion views on TikTok, Dasha has quietly cemented herself as a force to be reckoned with. “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and staked out a spot in the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 19. Meanwhile, she scaled the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart to No. 2 with her album What Happens Now? peaking at No. 117 on the Billboard 200.
