Robyn Ottolini’s Latest Single “Airplane Bottle” Is Here—And It’s Everything Fans Hoped For
Canadian country artist Robyn Ottolini has officially dropped her unapologetically honest and hilariously horrifying new single, “Airplane Bottle.” Based on a real-life dating disaster, the track has been one of the most hotly requested releases from fans, who’ve been begging for it ever since she started teasing snippets online.
“Airplane Bottle” is available now on all streaming platforms, and it’s already sparking a wave of shared trauma and laughter from listeners who know all too well the pain of a terrible first date.
A First Date You Wouldn’t Wish on Your Worst Enemy
The story behind “Airplane Bottle” is one for the books: Ottolini met a man who showed up to the bar with a mini vodka bottle in hand and ended the night by leaving her on the side of the road. Instead of letting the experience bring her down, Robyn did what she does best—she turned it into a brutally honest and hilariously cathartic song.
“Would I wish this date on anyone else? Never,” Ottolini shared. “Did I turn it into a song I love with all my heart? Of course.”
She wrote the song just two days after the incident, processing the bizarre encounter in real time with her producer and friends. “It feels so conversational and on the nose of what I went through, that I can’t imagine any other melodies or lyrical changes to capture this small but huge moment in my life,” she added. It’s a songwriting approach reminiscent of her breakout hit “F-150,” where vulnerability meets razor-sharp wit.
Fan Frenzy and a Real-Life Plot Twist
Even before its official release, “Airplane Bottle” had fans buzzing. Ottolini’s social media followers were quick to connect with the track’s raw storytelling, flooding the comments with their own dating horror stories—and even posting covers of the song.
In a plot twist worthy of a sitcom, the guy from the date showed up at her publishing house while she was writing the song—to pick up the sunglasses he left in her purse. The moment was so absurdly perfect, it’s hard to believe it’s real.
The Music Video: A Lesson in Dating Don’ts
The accompanying visualizer leans into the cheeky storytelling. In the video, Robyn plays a teacher—an homage to her sister and mom, both educators—who ends up giving her former date a crash course in dating etiquette when he comes to retrieve his forgotten sunglasses.
The Road to Her Debut Album
“Airplane Bottle” marks another powerful entry in Ottolini’s growing catalogue as she builds toward her long-awaited debut album. If this latest track is any indication, the album is going to be full of the fearless, funny, and deeply personal storytelling that fans have come to love.
Stay tuned—more new music and exciting updates are on the way.

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
