“This song is about what it means to be Australian,” Alberts shared. “To love this land and our planet. For me, being Australian is about embracing a unique mix of cultures on this sunburnt land.”
The track’s universal appeal was evident during Alberts’ recent international tours across Europe, the UK, and North America, where audiences resonated with its themes of unity and reverence for nature. “Despite being about my love for Australia, people really connected to it,” Alberts said. “It’s a reminder of how deeply people cherish the natural beauty of their own homelands.”
