"True Blue" or "Hey, True Blue" is an Australian country music, folk song written and performed by singer-songwriter John Williamson. The lyrical content utilises Australian slang heavily, with the title meaning authentically Australian. The song was first released in March 1982, as a single from his compilation album, True Blue – The Best of John Williamson, but it failed to reach the Kent Music Report top 100 singles chart. He re-recorded "True Blue" in 1986 and re-issued it as a single in that September, this version was used for the Australian Made advertising campaign managed by entrepreneur, John Singleton. It reached number 43 on the singles chart.
