There’s a moment in every artist’s journey when the road forward collides with the place they’ve come from. For Robyn Ottolini, that moment has arrived with “Oh, Canada,” a song that doesn’t just tip its hat to her homeland, it embraces it with open arms.
The platinum-selling singer-songwriter, known for her sharp wit and deeply human storytelling, steps into softer light here. Co-written with Michael August and Jesse Slack, and produced by Grammy-nominated Jordan Schmidt alongside Lenny Pey, “Oh, Canada” isn’t merely patriotic. It’s personal. It’s the sound of a dreamer looking back over her shoulder at the land that raised her.
“‘Oh, Canada,’ this song is for you!” says Ottolini. “It’s also for anyone who is proud of their roots and chasing a dream while missing home, no matter where you’re from. Being Canadian is such a big part of my identity, from growing up singing the anthem at school and cheering in the Olympics, to being in awe of the beauty of this land. ‘From the beaches of Tofino to the cliffs of St. John’s,’ this song is my love letter to the Great White North and my promise to never forget it.”
Ottolini’s voice, warm and reverent, carries the weight of that promise. The lyrics reach across the country’s vast geography, stitching together memory and melody until they feel inseparable. It’s not hard to hear the ache of distance woven into her delivery, the kind of ache only those who’ve left home in pursuit of something bigger truly understand.
Fans have already embraced the sentiment. A preview clip shared online quietly gathered more than 250,000 views, proving once again that Ottolini’s gift lies not just in singing her truth but in giving voice to ours. The timing, too, is poignant, arriving on the eve of the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards, “Oh, Canada” lands like both a homecoming and a declaration.
For Ottolini, whose career has been defined by fearless honesty, this single is a milestone. It bridges her beginnings with her present, honoring the place that gave her her start while acknowledging the sacrifices it takes to chase a dream far from familiar soil.
“Oh, Canada” is more than a love letter. It’s an anchor, a reminder that no matter how far she travels, Robyn Ottolini’s compass will always point north.
