Soundtrack to 60 years of COLORBOND® steel

The campaign’s emotional heartbeat comes through its music, a reimagined version of the Australian classic Down Under, written by Colin Hay and performed by the extraordinary Tones And I. Her voice brings a fresh depth and soulfulness to this song of national pride, a bridge between generations, celebrating both classic heritage and contemporary creativity.

Within the COLORBOND® steel 60th anniversary ad, Tones And I’s striking rendition builds as the story unfolds, moving from quiet, reflective moments to a crescendo of energy and optimism that mirrors the Australian landscape itself. It becomes more than just a soundtrack; it’s the rhythm that highlights the connection between people, place and possibility.

This collaboration with Tones And I feels both proud and poetic for COLORBOND® steel. It’s a celebration of strength and creativity, of innovation grounded in authenticity. A harmony of sound and vision that captures what it truly means to be Made by You. Made by Australia.
