At the age of 33, Australian singer-songwriter Charlie Collins already has a whole musical life behind her. When she was just 12, she formed a band with her siblings. A few years after the release of their debut album, she joined Sydney band Tigertown in 2011. Six EP’s later, Collins launched her solo career with the album Snowpine. It earned her an ARIA Award nomination for Best Country Album.

Her new single has little to do with country music. Fuck It is a driving guitar pop track. Collins wrote it after she became a topic of hurtful gossip following the end of a relationship. However, the song offers a raw, emotional and honest twist on your average breakup song. “At the time, when I was going through this separation, I needed a friend more than a critic,” she says. “This song is an acknowledgment of blame but also recognizing that you don’t need that judgement.”

Fuck It was produced by Scott Horscroft (DMA’S, Empire Of The Sun, Silverchair) with former Gang Of Youths guitarist Joji Malani.
