Charlotte MacInnes launches music career with powerful debut single ‘Struck’

Rising Australian singer, songwriter and actress Charlotte MacInnes has released her debut single ‘Struck’, an emotionally charged and empowering track that marks the beginning of her new chapter as a recording artist. Out now via Atlantic Records, the single arrives alongside a striking visualiser and signals that more music from MacInnes is on the way.

Written with an impressive creative team including Ashnikko, Joe Janiak, and Amanda Ghost, ‘Struck’ unfolds as a dramatic, ethereal anthem. The track begins with sparse, atmospheric production before building into a powerful, drum-driven chorus, with MacInnes’ soaring vocals carrying its message of defiance and resilience.

Speaking about the single, MacInnes describes it as a deeply personal declaration of strength. “‘Struck’ is a song about bravery and defiance, written from inside the storm, not after it,” she explains. “It’s a battle cry for anyone standing in the mouth of something irreversible.”

While ‘Struck’ introduces her as a recording artist, MacInnes has already built a global audience through her work on screen. The Australian performer rose to prominence with her role in North Shore, which reached No.1 on Netflix in both the US and UK, and also appeared as Daisy Buchanan in Florence Welch’s stage production of The Great Gatsby at the American Repertory Theatre.

A lifelong singer and songwriter, MacInnes has spent recent years quietly developing her sound before signing with Atlantic Records, where she now steps forward with her first official release.

With its cinematic scale and bold emotional core, ‘Struck’ introduces Charlotte MacInnes as a compelling new voice in pop — and the first glimpse of what promises to be a larger musical rollout throughout 2026.
