Background and composition

"Austin" came together after Dasha and her co-writers were working on a song titled "Play Dumb" about "knowing you're getting cheated on", which Dasha could not relate to. It was abandoned and the perspective of a "scorned woman" from that song was then used and turned into "something really boot-clappy and fun and kind of badass" for "Austin". It was described as a "catchy ode to a lover who just won't commit". [1]
