Jo Page- When We Knew Nothing

South Australian singer-songwriter Jo Page returns with When We Knew Nothing, an upbeat, nostalgia-soaked country-pop single that leans into the sweet relief of not knowing everything yet. Warm, joyful and instantly relatable, the track reflects on youth, freedom, and the days when happiness arrived easily and left late.Inspired by a line from Charles Bukowski — “Sadness is caused by intelligence; the more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn’t understand them” — Page wrote the song as a feel-good glance back to childhood and young adulthood, when ignorance truly was bliss.“ When We Knew Nothing captures the innocence of simpler times,” Page says. “That feeling of wanting to go back to when life was lighter, more fun, and there was magic in everything. There’s a line in the song, ‘sweet like dumb days’, and honestly, that’s exactly what it tasted like.”Built on warm guitars, sunlit melodies and an infectious sing-along chorus, When We Knew Nothing balances joy with longing – a happy, nostalgia-filled bop built for car radios, summer nights, and singing with the windows down.From her hometown of Port Lincoln to festival stages across Australia, Jo Page brings more than 15 years of experience in the Australian music scene. She has shared stages with Daryl Braithwaite, Birds of Tokyo, Eskimo Joe and Shannon Noll. Blending soul, blues, rock and country, her music is driven by vivid storytelling – fierce one moment, achingly tender the next. After being accepted into Tamworth’s CMAA Academy of Country Music, Aussie music legend Dobe Newton famously dubbed her “a force of nature” – a title she continues to live up to through raw, powerful vocals, grit and emotional honesty.Released in November 2025, Page’s debut single Fire in His Eyes introduced audiences to her darker side – a cinematic, spaghetti western-tinged country-rock track produced by ARIA Award winner Matt Fell and co-written with Golden Guitar Award winner Kevin Bennett. In stark contrast, When We Knew Nothing flips the coin, showcasing Page’s versatility with a joyful, nostalgia-filled bop built for wide-open roads and making memories.Off stage, Page uses her platform to advocate for mental health awareness and champion honest conversations around healing and hope – work that earned her recognition as 2021 Active Citizen of the Year.Whether she’s belting an anthem that rattles the back row or delivering a ballad that silences a room, Jo Page proves the most powerful stories often come from those brave enough to tell them.When We Knew Nothing is serviced to radio on Monday 9 February and available on all streaming platforms Friday 13 February.
