'There she goes'
PLAY LENGTH - 3:00
LOCATION - Sydney, Australia
RELEASE DATE - Aug 28th 2026 (via Ditto)
‘There She Goes’ is a melancholic, groove-driven pop track about that feeling of slowly losing your person to everything else going on in their life. It captures the frustration of wanting someone all to yourself, while getting caught up in the insecurity of watching them move through life without you. Built around catchy melodies, industrial guitars, punchy nostalgic drums and atmospheric production, the song balances an infectious pop sound with genuine emotional vulnerability. It’s a bittersweet mix of longing, jealousy and desperation, wrapped up in a track that feels just as good to dance to as it does to cry to.
BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from Western Sydney, 24-year-old Sri Lankan-Australian artist Ama is carving out a distinct space in the indie-pop landscape with her compelling storytelling and introspective lyricism. A self-proclaimed emotional wreck turned songwriter, she brings raw honesty and a deeply personal touch to her music, drawing inspiration from artists like Alexander 23, Audrey Hobert, and Devon Again.
Her single ‘Employee’ marked a major breakthrough - reaching #1 Most Played on Triple J, earning Featured Track of the Day, and receiving heavy rotation across Triple J Unearthed, JOY FM, and Abreak Radio. The track quickly gained traction, hitting 10,000 streams within 24 hours and landing placements on major editorial playlists including Spotify’s Fresh Finds and New Music Friday, as well as Apple Music’s Alt Pop and New Music Daily.
In 2025, Ama released her debut EP Julie’s House, which has already surpassed 450,000 streams across platforms and earned her the cover of Spotify’s Hits Different playlist. The project cemented her status as one of Australia’s most promising new voices, showcasing her talent for pairing emotional depth with sharp, melodic storytelling.
On stage, Ama has supported artists such as MKTO, Sam Fischer, Will Swinton, and Phi11a, and was selected to showcase at BIGSOUND and SXSW 2025 as part of the Rolling Stone Showcase.

TRIPLE J UNEARTHED SUPPORT/ Testimonials
Say I was an A&R at a label (a job I would love to do). I would seriously look into offering Ama a deal. 'Sucks' is a massive track, one that I think is right in the wheelhouse of Maisie Peters/Holly Humberstone fans.
Ben Madden - Spin to win
"It’s clear that Ama is a rising star in the alt-pop/indie scene,
and we can’t wait to see what she does next."
Steve Likoski - Eat this music
"The attention-grabbing title might convince you to press play,
but her confessional lyrics and heartfelt vocals will convince
you to put it on repeat"
Lauren Katulka - Sounds of Oz
