NIKKI WEBSTER I'M STILL LOOKING FOR LOVE'

Strawberry Kisses singer Nikki Webster is back S in the spotlight after her 2001 hit became the Matildas' unofficial anthem and propelled her back into the charts!

"It blows my mind that it lives on," Nikki, 36, tells Woman's Day. "It's a song that keeps giving to me, and I think the song keeps giving to Aussies, too."

The hit reached No. 2 on the ARIA Charts over 20 years ago after Nikki became famous overnight after appearing at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and last week climbed into Australia's iTunes top 10, sparking hope of a comeback for the pop sensation.

"Never say never," Nikki laughs. "I think that's the beauty of being a performer - you've got to take opportunities. To see it live on, I'm like, yes, my 13-year-old self made a great choice!"

While her recent charting success hasn't sparked an idea for an album just yet, Nikki says she isn't ruling anything out after being recently contacted by the song's producer.

"It's been lovely to reconnect with people [from] that time our lives are all busy, but the song always brings us back together," she says.

ON TOP AGAIN 

The surprise comeback came when Nikki became the unlikely new member of the Matildas squad after it was revealed during the World Cup by goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold that it's the team's go-to pre-game song.
