Circus Girl (album)

 Circus Girl is the fifth studio album from Australian country music artist Sherrié Austin and was released independently on November 15, 2011.

Background
The album is portrayed as a group of tales analyzed by a powerful female, about females, and on behalf of females. Austin felts that the work was something her female supporters have been requesting for years.

"The last few years I had been complaining about the fact that there weren’t any females speaking to women above the age of 30, so I started thinking about how I was writing my songs and came up with the idea for “Friday Night Girls" ...I wanted to write a three-minute song with every Sex and the City episode that had ever existed, so I did. I quickly noticed that the women in my audiences loved it and so I switched my songwriting focus for a while to concentrate on that audience, who are my peers, to speak to them,” says Austin.

The final track on the album, "Naughty or Nice", was co-written by Shane Stevens.
