Dasha’s New Single, “Not At This Party,” Was Written And Recorded In Just Three Hours

Dasha was under a lot of pressure to follow-up her platinum-selling Top 5 country single, “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’).” “My team was kind of breathing down my throat being like, ‘Dash, we need a follow-up,’” she admits. “I was stressing out because, holy s–t. How do you follow up your first hit single?” But when the 25-year-old rising music star got together with the songwriting team of Ashley Gorley and Ben Johnson, it didn’t take them long to come up with her new single, “Not At This Party.” The claps and stomps that form the heartbeat of the song are all authentically Dasha. “I held my iPhone up and had her stomp and clap into my iPhone,” Johnson recalls. They invested about 90 minutes into writing “Not at This Party,” and another 90 minutes into cutting a demo. “If I had time to overthink it, I might have sung it differently and it wouldn’t have hit as hard,” Dasha says. “I’m so grateful that that happened the way it happened.” (Billboard)
