Australia\u2019s highest-selling female country artist and 5 x Golden Guitar Finalist Hayley Jensen ignites a bold new era with her explosive country pop\/rock anthem \u2018BURN IT DOWN\u2019, available to pre-save from Friday 6 March 2026 and officially released on all DSPs on Friday 20 March 2026.\u000f\u000fThe fiery new single drops just in time for Jensen\u2019s debut performance at CMC Rocks QLD, Australia\u2019s largest international country music festival, marking another milestone in a career that continues to surge both at home and abroad.\u000f\u000f\u2018BURN IT DOWN\u2019 signals the start of a powerful new chapter following the release of Hayley\u2019s second ARIA #1 Country Album, \u2018Country Soul\u2019, in late 2025 on her independent label. \u2018Country Soul\u2019 became the highest-selling female country album in Australia, ranking #2 overall across the genre behind James Johnston, and continues to feature weekly in the ARIA Top 5 Australian Country Album Chart.\u000f\u000fHayley is also the most nominated artist at the 2026 Countrytown Awards for commercial success, earning five nominations for Female Artist, Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Tour of the Year and Entertainer of the Year.\u000f\u000f\u2018Country Soul\u2019 delivered a string of radio hits and fan favourites including \u2018Country Soul\u2019, \u2018Giddy Up Cowboy\u2019, \u2018Outskirts\u2019 and \u2018Stomping Ground\u2019, all of which held prominent positions in the Countrytown Top 50 Commercial Radio Charts. With career streams surpassing 8.9 million, Jensen has firmly established herself as one of Australia\u2019s most compelling contemporary country acts.\u000f\u000fNow, she\u2019s turning up the heat.\u000f\u000fProduced by award-winning producer Liam Quinn (Guy Sebastian, Peach PRC, James Johnston, Rachel Fahim, Sara Berki) and co-written with Australian country-rock breakout Josh Setterfield and Canadian songwriter Craig Brooks, \u2018BURN IT DOWN\u2019 pairs gritty guitars and driving percussion with a stadium-sized chorus built for festival singalongs. The track is a fearless anthem about drawing a line in the sand, silencing doubt, and turning every \u201cno\u201d into fuel – delivering a high-voltage declaration of self-belief with blazing momentum.\u000f\u000f\u201c\u2018BURN IT DOWN\u2019 is about taking everything that tried to hold you back and turning it into rocket fuel! It\u2019s about the moment you stop playing small, stop holding back, stop asking for permission, and choose to rise up in your own power. I want it to be an anthem of fearless resilience – giving everyone who hears it the feeling that they are unstoppable!\u201d says Jensen.\u000f\u000fThe single is primed to become a live favourite, with fans set to experience its full-throttle energy when Jensen takes the stage at CMC Rocks QLD, kicking off a massive 2026 festival season that includes Meatstock Toowoomba and Gippsland, Triple B Rodeo Series, RegFest Echuca, Neville Country Muster, Barra & Boots Festival, Man From Snowy River Festival and appearances at PBR Australia events, with more major announcements to come.\u000f\u000fJensen\u2019s momentum extends internationally, including in Canada, where she is one of the few Australian artists to gain traction at country radio, including airplay on SiriusXM across North America. She has performed at Calgary Stampede and Dauphin\u2019s Countryfest, toured the UK with headline shows in London, Wales, Manchester and Birmingham, and in 2025 achieved a career milestone debut performance at Nashville\u2019s iconic Bluebird Cafe during CMA Fest.\u000f\u000fBlending country grit with pop polish and a rock edge, \u2018BURN IT DOWN\u2019 signals a bold sonic evolution and further cements Hayley Jensen\u2019s position at the forefront of Australian country music.\u000f\u000fThe fire\u2019s been lit.
