Exzenya Spills the Truth With “Till I’m Drunk & Confused”

You see those moments in the bar where everything just seems okay but deep down you know you’re not. Well If you’ve ever told yourself you were “fine” while staring at a half-empty drink, then Exzenya has written the perfect soundtrack for you. Her new single, Till I’m Drunk & Confused, is the kind of song that smiles at you while quietly reminding you that life is messy and sometimes you’re the one who made it that way.

The track came out on November 6, 2025, even though it feels like it should’ve been playing in some bar years ago, right between a crying stranger and a bowl of stale peanuts. It’s built on ukulele, acoustic guitar, and crisp percussion, which gives it a warm, upbeat feel—basically the opposite of its emotional story. That contrast is half the charm. You’re tapping your foot while thinking, “Wow, this person is going through it.”

The song follows someone who lost a relationship because of alcohol and is now trying to deal with that loss the same way. Not the healthiest choice, sure, but definitely a familiar one. It’s the late-night moment when the truth barges in without knocking, and suddenly the drink doesn’t taste as bold as it did ten minutes ago.

Exzenya sings the whole thing with a conversational tone, like she’s on a voice note to a close friend. No autotune. No machines pretending to be human. Every vocal is real, recorded live, which adds to the raw feel of the story. In a world full of filtered everything, it’s refreshing to hear someone leave the polish at home and just sing. The track sits inside her growing album project, Bar Scenes & Rumors, a collection of songs about nightlife, poor decisions, confession hours, and the emotional leftovers nobody wants to talk about. Some songs are funny, some sting a little, and some do both at the same time. This one falls into the “please don’t judge me but here’s the truth” category.

Even before its full platform release, the song has already been climbing charts across Europe and indie platforms. It’s landed in several discovery systems, reached the Euro Indie Music Chart, and grabbed playlist attention before even hitting all major streaming sites. Not bad for an independent artist working from a laptop in the U.S. with no label, no fancy studio, and no marketing army.

Listeners have been quick to respond, dropping comments like “I’m playing this next time I drink,” which is probably the most honest review anyone could get. Others compare the musical feel to old pop staples and 90s hits, noting how nostalgic it sounds while still being fresh.

What makes Exzenya even more interesting is that she didn’t start music at eighteen with a Hollywood backstory. She’s a grandmother, an entrepreneur, a psychology-trained problem solver, and someone who seems to wake up each day saying, “Why not?” Her background shows up in her writing. She understands people, and it makes her songs land in a different way.

She’s also serious about keeping her work human. No AI writing, no autotune, no shortcuts. Everything she releases is hers: her voice, her story, her production team, her decisions. It’s gutsy, especially now, but it’s also what gives her music that human wobble that people relate to.

“Till I’m Drunk & Confused” is the bright, cheeky corner of her upcoming album—a moment when the beat keeps going even though the truth is looking you straight in the face. It’s catchy, emotional, and, let’s be honest, painfully relatable. The kind of song you play on repeat while insisting you’re “totally not thinking about anyone.”

Exzenya may call herself genre-fluid, but the real genre here is “human doing their best.” And that’s exactly why this track works. If this is what she sounds like eight singles in, then the rest of Bar Scenes & Rumors is going to be fun, chaotic, and probably a little too real—in the best way.
