Dasha’s new single “Mad About It” is out now via Warner Records, and the title pretty much gives the game away. Written by Dasha, Bardo Novotony, and Charlotte Sands, the track is upbeat, sarcastic, and built around the very specific experience of performing total fine-ness when you’re anything but.
The song lives in the comedy of post-breakup self-awareness, the part where you’re dancing through the drama with a smile you’re working hard to hold. “Mad About It” doesn’t dwell in heartbreak. It turns the whole performance into something you can move to, and that tonal precision is exactly what makes it land.
“While we were writing it, there was no pressure for ‘Mad About It’ to be a hit song; we were just genuinely having so much fun and laughing,” says Dasha. “We were joking about how petty can we make this song? How much sarcasm can we pour into this, and how much of my personality can be seen in these lyrics? We honestly had such a good time writing it, I think that’s where the magic of this song came from.”
That energy comes through clearly in the finished track. “Mad About It” showcases Dasha at her most self-aware, blending humor, attitude, and pop-country instincts into something that moves fast and hits with a grin. She premiered it during ACM Awards Week, giving it exactly the right stage for its debut.
The context around this release says everything about where Dasha stands right now. Her breakout single “Austin (Boots Stopped Workin’)” earned Female Song of 2024 at the People’s Choice Country Awards, landed her in Spotify’s Billions Club, and became one of the most-streamed country songs of the year. A 2026 ACM nomination for New Female Artist of the Year, an MTV Video Music Award nomination for Push Performance of the Year, and a headlining set on the Mane Stage at Stagecoach followed.
Next week, Dasha takes the Riverfront Stage at CMA Fest in Nashville, with a string of festivals running through the rest of the month. “Mad About It” arrives at exactly the right moment for a country star accelerating at this pace.
