Anita Spring – “Better Than Champagne”
Australian singer-songwriter Anita Spring returns with her infectious new original single, Better Than Champagne — a fun, feel-good celebration of the excitement, chemistry and intoxicating thrill of a new love interest. Bursting with playful energy and summery charm, the song captures that irresistible feeling when someone comes along and makes everything seem a little more magical.
Co-written with Trevor Steel and John Holliday of The Escape Club, the British-American band behind the iconic ’80s hit Wild, Wild West, alongside songwriter Julian Parker, "Better Than Champagne" showcases Anita’s versatility as a songwriter and her ability to deliver music with personality, heart and a distinctive sense of fun. Fresh, flirtatious and made for the Australian summer, it’s the perfect soundtrack for sunshine, good times and falling head over heels.
With a recording career spanning decades, Anita has enjoyed significant chart success across pop and country music. Highlights include Blink Stay a Little Longer, which reached No. 7 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 2003; This Ain’t Pretty, which climbed to No. 2 on AMRAP in 2019; Not That Kind of Girl, reaching No. 3 on Australian Country Radio in 2021; and her 2024 No. 1 success with I Honestly Love You on the Oz & TAS Country Radio Chart. Several of her other releases have also received high rotation on Country Music Network in Nashville, reflecting her growing international reach.
Anita’s passion for music began long before her first recording. Born into a family steeped in Australian entertainment, her mother was a celebrated Perth performer who regularly appeared on Channel Nine’s Telethon and toured with Bob Hope. Her father played bass for John Farnham and performed with Johnny O’Keefe as a member of the Troubadours. After her parents met while performing in the resident band at Perth’s renowned Romano’s, music became an integral part of Anita’s upbringing, inspiring a lifelong love of performing and an enduring desire to write songs of her own.
Alongside her recording career, Anita has toured nationally and internationally, captivating audiences through world-class live productions. Her songwriting continues to evolve with her life experiences, exploring the many dimensions of love, loss and human connection — while embracing the fun, spontaneity and joy that make life worth singing about.
With “Better Than Champagne,” Anita Spring delivers a sparkling new release that proves love can be the ultimate intoxicant. Pour yourself a little sunshine, turn up the volume and get ready for the perfect soundtrack to an Australian summer!
