Sarah Catania—

Rising Australian country artist Sarah Catania invites everyone to join the party with her new single, Once You’ve Gone Country.

Upbeat, playful and made for the dance floor, Once You’ve Gone Country captures the irresistible pull of country music and culture.

Beneath the song’s feel-good energy is a heartfelt message about acceptance. Drawing on Catania’s own experience as an unapologetic city girl with a genuine love for country life, the song challenges the idea that anyone needs a particular background to feel at home in the genre.

“Once You’ve Gone Country, while upbeat and fun, really did start as an idea from a deeper place,” says Catania. “It’s about being an unapologetic city girl that loves the country lifestyle. Whether it be the music, the honky-tonks, or the living, Once You’ve Gone Country is a track that welcomes everyone into the country space, whether they were born into it or not. It’s a song about acceptance and putting differences aside to have a damn good time.”

Known for her empowering anthems, magnetic stage presence and a voice that balances strength with vulnerability, Catania draws inspiration from artists including Ella Langley, Shania Twain, and Carrie Underwood. She blends classic country storytelling with a fresh contemporary edge, exploring themes of confidence, independence, and the complexities of modern relationships.

Sarah, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter, brings a vibrant contemporary edge to Australian country music, combining honest, vulnerable storytelling with an energetic modern country sound.
