Ottawa’s own chart-topping singer-songwriter Jamie Fine returns with her heartfelt new single, “Homesick,” following this summer’s release of “I Will Wait For Forever.”
With this track, Jamie Fine continues to showcase her gift for crafting pop songs that are as emotionally resonant as they are catchy.
A proud advocate for her hometown, Jamie has long celebrated Ottawa – whether through her support of the PWHL’s Ottawa Chargers or now, by dedicating “homesick” to the city itself. The song captures her deep-rooted connection to Ottawa and its people.
“Leaving home has always been tough for me, and coming back is what grounds and calms me the most,” Jamie shares. “Deciding to leave for career opportunities was one of the hardest choices I’ve ever made, and I wanted to write a song about my hometown letting me go – reminding me it would always be there for me when I returned. ‘Nothing’s gonna change and I hope you know, I’ll be ready when you’re ready to come home,’ are some of my favorite lyrics I’ve ever been a part of writing.”
While deeply personal, “Homesick” goes beyond Ottawa. It reflects the universal idea of what “home” means – whether tied to a place, a person, or a feeling of belonging.
