Dasha, the 25-year-old country-pop sensation behind the viral hit “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’),” is back with her heartfelt new single “Train,” released September 19 via Warner Records. A poignant preview of her upcoming EP Anna (out October 10), the track captures the ache of leaving home through the metaphor of a train’s fading whistle. Penned by Nashville songwriters, it’s a soulful ballad blending acoustic strums and pop flourishes, reflecting Dasha’s journey from California to Music City.
The official lyric video, dropped on YouTube September 18, complements the song’s intimacy with minimalist visuals—soft-focus train tracks, animated lyrics, and nostalgic landscapes. No flashy effects, just pure emotion, syncing lines like “Wake up and realize one day you don’t hear the train anymore” to Dasha’s tender vocals. Fans on X are raving, with one calling it “a charming ode to settling into a new city.”
As Dasha kicks off her Canadian headline tour and prepares for UK dates with Kane Brown, “Train” cements her as a rising storyteller. Stream it now and pre-save Anna.
