She told People about the new track ahead of her performance: "It's just super fun, upbeat, and the lyrics are so real. I like having a really fun time showing my personality in my lyrics, and this song is the perfect one that sums it up.
"It's not my next single or anything. I really wanted to include it in the set because of how much fun it is to perform. We’re literally opening the show with it."

'Anna'
In October 2025, Dasha released an EP entitled 'Anna', which is her real first name. The collection of songs will make up part one of a new album project she's been working on, with the second part 'Dasha' due out at a later date.

"So it's very exciting and all these songs on this album are very, very personal and kinda tell the story about my childhood and why I started writing songs. And to just kinda get to know the real girl inside the whole image of Dasha."
She revealed the song 'Work on Me' will be the album's lead single, calling it "playful" and "cheeky".
