First time hearing Blake Shelton "Austin" Reaction | Asia and BJ 

The song tells of a woman who moves to Austin after breaking up with her boyfriend. Less than a year later, she decides to contact him. She calls numerous times and is greeted by his answering machine that explains where he could be. The message always ends with the following phrase: "And P.S. if this is Austin, I still love you," which is referring to the female as Austin.

When you get lost….go back and relisten. The song started by saying she left to find herself…and he figured she went back to the city of Austin because she talked about it all the time. So when he left his voice message, he referred to her as the city she was in.

The woman he loved moved to Austin,TX , so when he refers to Austin ,Shelton is speaking of his girlfriend (Austin]. She calls him a year later,but gets his answering machine. At the end of each message, he says if this is "Austin" I still love you. The last phone call is his girl on the phone(no machine) realizing the time she has wasted, and that she still loves him still,too.

This is my favorite Blake Shelton song, this was Blake’s first number 1 song and the start of a long career

His girl moved away to Austin, Texas and that was mentioned in the first part of the song. She called him a year later from Austin and on his answering machine, she would hear his recordings for incoming calls and they always ended with 'P.S. if this is Austin, I still love you.' referring to her being in Austin. So you hear two of his recordings she heard over 2 calls to him. She leaves just her number the second time and he returned it Sunday evening. He calls and the last verse is her live on the phone and she finishes by saying 'BTW boy, this is no machine your talking to. This is Austin and I still love you.' He had held on for a year waiting on her. True love for sure.

Austin is his nickname for her...changing his message every day for a year to say where he'll be and that he still loves her.

Ok y’all don’t speak Okie, so lemme break it down for you. Ain’t nobody named Austin, he’s just calling her that cause that’s where she’s from and went back to. She walked away from the relationship to clear her head. She calls him a year later and hears in his message, “If this is Austin I still love you.” When she calls back and gets the answering machine again, totally different message, same exact ending. So obviously dude updates his outgoing message all the time and then ends ends it up with “If this is Austin I still love you”. She leaves her number, he called back, she pretended for a min to be an answering machine, then says “Psych!!! It’s me I love you too!” Country love song happy ending! The end.

My favorite Blake Shelton song..Thank you 💝

Blake has an AMAZING thirty year career - this song was his very first hit - and it's still my top favourite. Gives me chills every time. The Baby and Ole Red are his other two biggest hits. Ole Red is a MUST watch video. God's Country and Come back as a Country Boy are two more fantastic videos. And Honey Bee is very sweet and hilarious. Btw - I always understood it as Austin is where she was from - but she was using it as a reference for HERSELF. Like saying "This is Chicago - and I still love you.".

Ya know I'm so use to seeing Blake with the short hair he has had for years now. Seeing him this young and that mullet, it makes me giggle. Austin was the girl.

Austin is the girl, she left him and a year later she called his number and he always mentioned her on the voicemail…she couldn’t believe he was still hanging on and realized that is just how much he actually loves her

He's talking about the woman he loves who moved to Austin.

This is my favorite song Blake Shelton sings

The girl who left him is Austin because that’s the town she went to No matter how many songs he does, my favorite is always Som Beach

Country isn't big where I live. I've seen a few of your country reactions and I kind of like them. I think I'm slowly becoming Americanised. 😂 I've heard him speak and I love his accent ♥

Austin is the girl. He’s singing his answering machine message. If it’s Friday I’m at the bar if it s Tuesday I’m bowling and if it’s Austin ( CALLING) I still love you. And he said he’ll get to his messages on Sunday. Then she called and just left her number then he called it and she said my heart is still yours and this isn’t a machine it’s (actually) Austin.

Austin Texas is where she went when she left.

Austin is the girl, she is trying to call him twice and hears his answering machine, the second call to him she leaves her number, then he calls her Sunday night and "this is what HE heard"....I actually think "Austin" refers to where the girl lives now, not her actual name 🤷🏼‍♀️

“Austin” is about a Nashville songwriter who broke up with his girlfriend. When she ended up moving to Austin, he realized the gravity of his mistake. He then changed his answering machine to say, “By the way - if this is Austin, I still love you.”

Austin is a place, (maybe Texas) he said she figured she had gone back to Austin she talked about it all the time. That is in the opening lyrics. When he says P.S. if this is Austin, (referring to her) I still love you. Listen to it again, they are basicly plying phone tag.

He’s just calling her Austin cause that’s where she she ran to.

one key difference between Country and other genres, you don't get rude talk, you get clean talk and a full story to the song. Any thing and everything Pop connected is 'oh I feel good about life' and Country will take you, the listener, down all those backroads, to explore those emotions. This was one of Blakes first BIG hits

Everyone explained it well. This is his breakout song. This is the trigger to his fame

Austin is a nickname for her, She went to Austin and it was his way when she heard the reference to Austin she knew it was her.

"Austin" (female) leaves to find herself. He figured she'd gone back to Austin, so that is what she is referred to as in this song. After a year, she calls him up. She gets the recording where he states "P.S. I still love you." In the second verse, she hears the same and leaves nothing but her phone number. In the final verse, He calls the number back. In this verse, she is doing the communication: "...and by the way boy, this is no machine you're talking to. Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you."

You guys r correct when u say he was talking about the city of Austin... this is one of his first hits

A mistake in breaking up, he put a new outgoing message on his answering machine: “By the way - if this is Austin, I still love you.” Both missed one another.Blake identified with the song right away. “I’ve had girlfriends I’ve gotten back together with after we’d broken up, and it never worked out,” he recalls. “But ‘Austin’ relates to all of those situations, whether it works out or not. It’s really about second chances.” This song inspired couples across the country to give their own broken romances a second chance, although the real couple who inspired the song never did get back together.

I live in Austin, It is the music capital of Texas..😎

Austin is the City that the girl who left him moved to. She calls him.and gets his answering machine. Those are the messages she hears

I wish that Blake would put out more songs like this.

I think it says in the first few lines he says he thought she went back to Austin. The song is a little confusing. But a great song. Blake is from my state. Great guy

Oh wow, Baby Blake. First album, I had it on a CD, I listened to it every single day. I saw him on stage once, rode the bus from Montreal to Vermont, 5 hours to and back just to see his concert

She was calling him the first two times when the machine says if this is Austin I still love you. Austin was her not him. Cause it said she waited by the phone on Sunday evening and this is what he heard then she says can't you tell this is Austin and I still love you after she said everything else.

This was his first hit that made people and the radio people first notice him in 2001. It is now 2022, 21 years later, look at where he is now. Iconic.

I’m from Austin so I love this song

The story is about a woman he refers to as Austin who left the singer. He changes his voice mail message every day telling the caller where he is and what he is doing. At the end of the each day, he leaves a message for 'Austin', the love of his life. 'Austin' finally calls him and she cannot believe that he STILL loves her. She calls him back 3 days later and leaves him a message in return and tells him she should have listened to her heart and realized she loved him all along. **PS, if this is 'Austin', I still love you** the singer talking to the caller, 'Austin'.

This is the song that made him so well known. 😆 it's just so old. It's really a beautiful song!!

This is Blake Shelton’s Debut single and it was #1 for weeks. I think Austin is one of his best songs

Gotta love Blake ... Great songs. It was referring to Austin, TX where she moved. It's explained here a lot...

This song was one of Blake's biggest hits

Ohh yeah a hidden GEM! Country always have a story!

Dig that mullet the 6ft 5in star is wearing.

He was talking about Austin Texas, he is calling her Austin since that is where he thought she moved to. This was his first hit

I love your channel. You are genuine and unafraid to question preconceptions.

Baby is my favorite song from Blake's first album, most will say Austin was his breakout song but for me Baby made me a fan.

You got it backwards. She left her number. Replay it and listen, concentrate. You can do it. Lol

this was blake shelton's first song on radio

this was one of his early great hits

To get the full impact of Blake please do "God's Country". And for his FUN side check out "Boys Round Here". But both have to be the Official Videos! Love ya!💙☮

He basically knick named her "Austin" because she always spoke about going back there. Austin was the girl.

I was yelling at my phone the entire video. Got to the end of the video and they left still confused 🤦🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣

My brother's first hit song, back when he was still rocking the mullet

Y'all are usually so on top of the lyrical meanings behind songs that it was almost hilarious the trouble you had with this one. Other commenters have explained, and I'm certain you both figuratively slapped your heads and said, "Oh, of course!," but just know that it's still a great reaction vid!

BJ YOU ARE RIGHT IT IS AUSTON TX

That song went all the way over y’all head 🤣

My wife was in the same class as he was in high school at Ada, Oklahoma. She didn't know him that well but it's still cool

I think his song "The Baby" is amazing!

Austin is his code word for her on his answering machine. Every time she calls it he's selling a car or he's going fishing etc but at the end of his answering machine message in case she ever calls him he tells her he loves her. Her name is not Austin he thinks she went to Austin so that's his code word for her.

Austin was his first song . Yeah Austin Texas was what he was talking about. She left him and moved back to Austin Texas.

Into beginning of the song it says she went back to Austin

3:34 No!!! She’s the one calling him and listening to his answering machine. She’s from Austin, that’s where he thought she went back to. She is “Austin”. She’s calling him.

She went to Austin TX. He still waiting, after a yr, for her to call. Finally she calls

When listening to country always pay attention to the first line in the song

Austin is the girl, she had left a year before, so now she is calling him. When she hears the end of the answering machine recording, she can't believe he still loves her. The last one was where she calls him to tell him she still loves him.

PS I still love you, This is Austin(her) Rather than mention her name he refers to her as "Austin" cause that's where she lives.

"WHO ARE YOU WHEN I'M NOT LOOKING",Blake Shelton

Austin is the place the girl that left went to....a year later she called and those were the messages on the phone.., He left messages on the Phone for each day and each one ended with "PS if this is Austin I still love you" So she figured out that was an amazing love and went back at the end of the video. The headlights on him at the end are her pulling up.

Another one!! Texas family showing love

Everyone explained it perfectly, and I noticed you did Seminole Wind by John Anderson, You should do his song, “Swingin” which was one his better known more popular songs, very upbeat and fun southern, country song!!! The original video definitely gives it more explanation!!

He was talking about Austin Texas that is where she was from he figured she went back to Austin Y'all need to listen to the song all over again

Absolutely love this song

Wow! She has Beautiful skin..😍🥰😘

She left without leavin' a number Said she needed to clear her mind He figured she'd gone back to Austin 'Cause she talked about it all the time It was almost a year before she called him up Three rings and an answering machine is what she got If your callin' 'bout the car, I sold it If this is Tuesday night, I'm bowlin' If you've got somethin' to sell your wastin' your time, I'm not buyin' If it's anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you The telephone fell to the counter She heard but she couldn't believe What kind of man would hang on that long What kind of love that must be She waited three days and then she tried again She didn't know what she'd say But she heard three rings and then If it's Friday night, I'm at the ball game And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain I'm headed out to the lake and I'll be gone all weekend long But I'll call you back when I get home on Sunday afternoon And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you Well, this time she left her number But not another word Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening And this is what he heard If your callin' 'bout my heart, it's still yours I should've listened to it a little more Then it wouldn't have taken me so long To know where I belong And by the way, boy, this is no machine your talkin' to Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you I still love you (Maybe this will help y'all!! )

The lady was from Austin, Texas and he never gave up on the love that he had for her. Therefore, Austin is the place where he figured that she'd went back to. Either way a person looks at it, love is somethin that don't just stop. It takes time and when someone has that much love for another... It has to be

OMG Austin is where she was from in the song it says he figured she went back to Austin it's a girl calling him after she's been gone

The girl is Austin not because her name is Austin but because after they broke up because she needed time she went back to Austin like she always talked about wanting to do and a year later she called him for the first time in a year and she was surprised to hear on his answering machine that he left her he said PS if this is Austin I still love you and then at the end she called him back to reply to the message on his answering machine she heard and she said this is Austin if you're calling about my heart it's still yours and she should have listened to it a long time ago and she would have known where she belongs with him so when she was driving she was going back to him

Hahahaha you guys are all over the place with this one.

The girls name is Austin !!!! Shes from Austin Texas ! She got home sick and left him to go back home to Texas.

I was confused the first couple times I heard it too.

😂😂😂😂 BJ sometimes I think you'd have trouble hitting water if ya fell out of the boat. Just kidding around, but lil true .haha

Yes you're right BJ she lives in Austin

he was talking about Austin Texas she moved there he called her Austin like a pet name.

I am thinking seriously about doing a reaction to y'all's reaction 😂

It was talking about the city Austin

I've been meaning to ask, Asia is that you singing your opening song? The girl talked about Austin so much that became her nickname. And he is still waiting for her. You got it twisted again She is "Austin" because he said in the first verse she was always talking ABOUT Austin that became HER nickname by him. We do not know either of their real names. How y'all can tell what the lyrics are in a Rap song and not be able to get a C&W songs lyrics is beyond me. I love you both you are so much fun. Even at the end BJ you still didn't have it. Let's try again NOBODY"S name is Austin. SHE the girl TALKED about Austin so much that HE gave HER a nickname of Austin. So HIS name is? NOBODY knows. HER REAL name? NOBODY knows. HER nickname is AUSTIN. So when his answering machine answered he said to the answering, 'If this Austin (her nickname) I am still in love with you. So she called HIM twice and got the answering machine TWICE the second time she left her number and nothing more. Then he called her and it sounded like it was HER answering machine but at the end she said it wasn't a machine it was her. I need a nap, I'm 71 and not in good shape.

This is Blake's best.

❤❤❤❤❤

Austin is the woman. She left him and he assumed she had gone back to Austin, so it was like a code name. And the messages were outgoing messages on an answering machine (talk about dating a song!) So she calls and hears his plans and then hears her code name and that he loves her. ❤️

Love the reactions two cool people

She realized she loves him too and made a mistake leaving him

As you've already been told.. she left him.. " I need time to think".. but he never gave up on her.. he set his VM to always end with "I still love you" in case she ever calls. She's shocked at first call that he's still there and still loves her. So second call she hears again that he loves her..and leaves her number. He then calls her number but she answers and says similar type as his VM but end with that it's really her, not a VM and she still loves him too. I didn't get the confusion, but I guess first time hearing?? The first line says she moved to Austin.

The male is still in love with a girl who left to find herself and to clear her mind. The male leaves a message, knowing that other people will hear is committed to Austin, with the hope she will hear the message when she calls--someday. When the girl does calls, she become aware that he is so in love with her while he saying in his message that he is still alive and living but so deep in love with the girl who went to find herself. The girls is surprised that the male, after such a long time is still waiting for her to call. The males has fallen head over heels and is waiting on that call from the girl. Just imagine someone wants to start a new relationship with another person and calls then hears this message-I'm in love with some one else, what would the new caller think?----now imagine the love commitment is to Austin which could have been a code between them? This song is made to touch your heart and soul expressing how much this man deeply loves this girl.

Austin (Texas) is where she lives.

That was one of his first songs

The girls from Austin and that’s his nickname for her.

On of his best 👍👍❤️👍👍❤️🌎✌️

Austin meaning the area code in Austin, TX where the girl lives.

Country music is more complicated than most.

Sangria and Came here to forget are good songs by Blake

Y’all are both so confused 🫤 😂 😂 😂
