You know that phrase people throw around when everything goes wrong? “Story of my life”. Exzenya heard it the same way everyone else did, and then decided to do something far more interesting with it. Her latest single reclaims those four words and turns them into something worth owning.
The song runs on driving pop rock energy with a chorus that genuinely sticks. It has the kind of build that makes you replay it, not because you missed something, but because it felt good the first time. Her voice has its own texture, and the way she performs this material makes it clear she means every word of it.
One thing that sets the listening experience apart is the depth buried inside the lyrics. There are lines that hit harder the second and third time around, which is not something you can say about most singles right now. For a closing track on a 12-song album, it does exactly what a closer should do: it pulls everything together and sends you off with the full picture.
Exzenya is 56, self-made, and releasing music entirely on her own terms. That context does not need to be the headline, but it does add something to how the song lands. This is someone who has actually lived the story she is singing about, and it comes through.
