Ami Williamson, Australian singer-songwriter and trained opera vocalist, has released her sixth album, *Sing You Out of Me*, her first in seven years. The album includes a provocative track titled "Go South," which addresses themes of sexual equality within intimate relationships, specifically focusing on oral sex and the perceived gender disparity regarding it.

Williamson described "Go South" as a song best suited for lively festival settings, performed in front of audiences in a relaxed atmosphere. She acknowledged that the topic can be embarrassing for many listeners, noting, "Nobody wants to know about it. Everybody’s embarrassed by the subject," adding that she has learned to be selective about when to perform the song.

The lyrics challenge common attitudes toward oral sex, with Williamson singing, “You’ve all got your reasons for not going south,” questioning cultural and personal inhibitions. The track’s upbeat arrangement combines rollicking bass, acoustic guitar, drums, and fiddle, blending a cheeky message with engaging musicality. Williamson said the song is intended as a conversation starter, hoping to break taboos and encourage openness between partners on intimate matters.

Williamson identifies herself as a "message" songwriter, and the album features several tracks with pointed social commentary. One such song, "Al Pacino," critiques the choices of older men who date much younger women, referencing the screen actor and others, before flipping the narrative to address older women ("cougars") and suggesting a reversal of gender norms. Williamson noted that this particular lyric tends to elicit strong reactions during her live shows.

At 48, Williamson said addressing topics relating to sexual confidence and communication has been on her mind since her early adult years. She emphasized the importance of women feeling empowered to express their desires openly, observing that many young people may rely on pornography for sexual guidance, which she finds concerning.

"Go South" marks a bold inclusion on an album that blends personal reflection with social messaging, showcasing Williamson’s willingness to explore intimate and sometimes taboo subjects through her music.
