WATCH: Dasha and ‘Love Island’s’ Rob Rausch Spark Chemistry in ‘Like It Like That’

Country-pop star Dasha returns with “Like It Like That” and an accompanying cinematic music video featuring Love Island’s Rob Rausch and entrepreneur/influencer Briley King.

The track is a flirty, fiery anthem about embracing love on your own terms. In the music video, Dasha sets the scene as a mischievous motel guest, leaving the door ajar for Love Island star Rob Rausch to slip in under the cover of night. The pair share a flirty late-night adventure, full of laughs, drinks, and playful antics that capture the song’s carefree, spontaneous energy.

“Boots are on the bed, smokin’ on a Red/Hungover again, but I ain’t done/Gimme little names, playin’ little games/Drivin’ me insane, but it’s so fun,” she sings.  

“’Like It Like That’ is about letting go of that pressure to get love ‘right’ and embracing the moments that don’t fit the plan. At this point in my life, I’m not trying to have it all figured out—sometimes the so-called wrong person is exactly right for right now,” Dasha shared of the track. 

She later added, “I think there’s so much pressure to meet ‘the one’ and get it right on the first try, especially for women, but I’m 25. I’m not looking for perfection; I’m looking for good stories and chasing feelings that I can get songs out of. I have no idea what I’m doing half the time, and I’m still learning parts of myself…I think everyone my age is doing the same. I don’t want to meet my person yet; I’m not ready for that chapter of life yet. No pressure, no plan, just whatever makes your heart skip a couple of beats and reminds you that that’s what living is supposed to feel like sometimes. Letting things be what they are, and heck, maybe that’s eating takeout with a man who can only be a bad idea at 2 am.”

Co-written with David Garcia, JKash, and Gian Stone, the single follows her previous hits “Not At This Party” and “Oh, Anna!” 

Next up for Dasha: the 2025 MTV VMAs, where she’s nominated for Push Performance of the Year, a Canadian headline tour in September, and opening for country superstar Kane Brown in the UK this October.

Dasha first broke out with her 2023 single “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” from her debut album What Happens Now, which went 40x Platinum and amassed more than 1.4 billion streams. That success launched her into sold-out global tours, major festival stages, including Stagecoach and Austin City Limits, and televised performances like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.
