Celebrates her Miami upbringing and vibrant Country-Latin sound
(Nashville, TN – September 26, 2025) – Singer-songwriter Ana Cristina Cash has released her brand-new single, “Florida Girl,” available today, September 26, on all streaming and download platforms (listen here). Recorded at the legendary Cash Cabin and co-produced by John Carter Cash and Willie Breeding, the track was written by Ana Cristina alongside Breeding.
A lively and heartfelt anthem, “Florida Girl” is a nostalgic yet empowering tribute to Ana Cristina Cash’s Miami upbringing and the colorful mix of cultures that shaped her. With breezy rhythms, sun-soaked melodies, and vivid imagery of orange groves, family memories, and summer days, the song balances childhood innocence with the resilience of growing up. At its heart, it’s an anthem of self-acceptance and pride in one’s roots, celebrating the unshakable spirit of a true Florida girl.
“This song is one of the most autobiographical ones that I have written for my upcoming EP. I wanted to paint a visual image of a time of innocence in my childhood and a nostalgia for all Floridian things with the lyrics. It references many of my feelings growing up, including a line about how my grandma and I always used to wait outside the porch of her house for the ice cream truck,” shares Ana Cristina. “Growing up in Miami with Cuban roots and having a deep love and respect for Country Music made me who I am today. ‘Florida Girl’ is about embracing all the vibrant, diverse, and joyful parts of that experience.”
“Florida Girl” follows Ana Cristina’s recent “Daybreak” / “Un Break (Daybreak Versión En Español),” which showcased her ability to bridge languages and genres seamlessly. Both tracks will appear on her upcoming bilingual Country-Pop and Latin EP, The Sunshine State Vol. 1, slated for release in early 2026.
“Florida Girl” was mixed by Trey Call at the Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, TN, and mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering. The visualizer for the song was directed by Joseph Cash and was shot at The Nashville link House in East Nashville.
