Exzenya’s debut single “Drunk Texting” doesn’t just announce the arrival of a new artist—it kicks down the door, tosses its shoes across the room, and starts telling a story you didn’t even know you needed to hear. Released on May 6, 2025, under her independent imprint Exzenya Productions, this track is a genre-bending, globally resonant anthem that’s as bold as it is brilliantly unfiltered.
Drawing inspiration from pop provocateurs like Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, and Pink, Exzenya doesn’t just echo her influences—she channels them into something completely her own. The result is a fierce, satirical, soulful ride that blends pop, R&B, and comedic storytelling into a sound that’s equal parts confessional and contagious.
What makes “Drunk Texting” unforgettable isn’t just its hook—it’s the hilarious real-life disaster behind it. Inspired by a chaotic Miami trip with her son (who, after a night of partying, famously declared “My phone was drunk—it drunk texted you!”), Exzenya turned an awkward family moment into a sharp, witty, and emotionally textured track that manages to be both hilarious and deeply relatable.
We’ve all blamed our phones for a bad decision. Few of us turn that moment into a worldwide streaming success. But Exzenya did. In under 50 days, “Drunk Texting” pulled in over 20,000 streams, landed on 636 playlists, and reached audiences in 153 countries—all organically. That’s no small feat for a completely independent artist building her platform from scratch.
One of the most impressive aspects of this release is how completely self-driven it is. Every part of the song—from writing to performance to recording—was handled by Exzenya herself, from her home studio in Remote, USA. Her vocal booth? Crafted from PVC pipe, duct tape, and acoustic blankets. Her approach? Resilient and relentless. She recorded the track while battling illness and managing multiple businesses, proving that purpose doesn’t wait for convenience.
There’s no Auto-Tune masking the vocals, no studio polish washing out the personality. What you hear is raw, real, and full of layered harmonies and emotional inflection. That honesty bleeds into the performance, giving the song its emotional weight even as it makes you laugh out loud.
Musically, “Drunk Texting” walks a smart line between pop sparkle and R&B groove, with a comedic twist that makes it feel like a viral TikTok story set to a beat. There’s undeniable energy here, but also restraint—Exzenya doesn’t overproduce or over-perform. Instead, she leans into her strength: storytelling that feels personal, purposeful, and real.
The result is a song that’s catchy enough for a dancefloor, clever enough for a comedy sketch, and intimate enough for a late-night cry text.
“Drunk Texting” is the lead single from Exzenya’s upcoming album Bar Scenes and Rumors—a concept project that promises to explore nightlife culture, emotional vulnerability, and human contradictions with the same bold honesty that fuels her debut.
If this track is any indication, the album is set to be a standout indie release. It’ll likely blend satire, heartache, and humor into a collection that doesn’t shy away from life’s most ridiculous and raw moments.
Exzenya isn’t just releasing music; she’s building a movement rooted in authenticity, midlife reinvention, and fearless independence. “Drunk Texting” proves that you don’t need label backing or a million-dollar studio to make a hit—you just need a story worth telling, the guts to tell it, and the talent to pull it off.
This track is funny, fresh, and fearless—and it hits because it’s true. Not just for Exzenya, but for anyone who’s ever blamed technology for their emotions, tried to protect their pride with humor, or sent a text they later regretted.
