Exzenya brings sharp wit, confidence, and a fresh perspective to relationship drama on her single “B!tch Please.” Rather than focusing on the heartbreak of discovering infidelity, the song begins at the moment a woman opens the door and confronts the person who slept with her husband. What follows is an unexpected twist, as betrayal gives way to relief, freedom, and the realisation that losing the wrong partner can sometimes feel like a blessing.
Blending blues-rock grit with live-band energy, blues-based chords, and a memorable chorus, “B!tch Please” marks a shift from the pop R&B and comedy elements of her earlier release “Drunk Texting.” Yet storytelling remains at the centre of Exzenya’s music. Her lyrics explore the humour, contradictions, and complicated emotions behind everyday human behaviour, using sarcasm and attitude to make familiar experiences feel honest, relatable, and empowering.
Through Exzenya Productions, she continues to build her career independently, giving herself the freedom to move between genres according to what each story demands. Whether she is exploring chaotic real-life situations or the unexpected freedom that can follow a painful relationship, her aim is to connect with listeners and remind them that they are not alone in what they feel or experience.
In this interview with Boostrin, Exzenya discusses the inspiration behind “B!tch Please,” the thinking behind its unconventional take on infidelity, her approach to songwriting, and how creative independence allows her to keep evolving without being confined to a single musical style.
“B!tch Please” begins at a very specific moment, when the door opens and the woman finally sees the person who slept with her husband. What drew you to telling the story from that moment of confrontation rather than from the heartbreak or discovery that came before it?
I wrote it from the second the door actually opens. Not the rumor, not the fight before. That look. A woman standing there who thought sleeping with a married man was an upgrade — house, ring, sugar-daddy fantasy, my life pulled on like a dress. That is a painful setup on paper. In the body it was different. Hurt is the first draft. The song starts after that draft gets thrown out.
The line “You thought you were taking my life. You set me free” completely changes the expected cheating narrative. How important was it for you to transform betrayal into a story about relief, freedom, and taking back control?
It was the whole point. I realized it was about being set free when I heard the trade clearly: she did not take my life. She took the man who was already going to leave. A roaming man. Once you see that, the chest drops. Relief. Sass. Closure. “You thought you were taking my life. You set me free.”
There is a sharp sense of humor and sass throughout the concept, particularly in the way the two women are positioned against each other. How did you use sarcasm and wit to make a painful subject feel empowering rather than simply bitter?
Sass is just the delivery system for the math. The humor is in the appraisal — looking at the trade without shrinking. She thought she was winning a life. She inherited a pattern. I keep the money, the house, the ring, the last word. Sarcasm keeps it from turning into a sermon or a cage fight. The emotion of that moment is a wink with a champagne toast, it is not bitter, it is not anger, it is a sigh of relief, and a smirk of “good luck with your choice”. I already been there and knew what she was getting.
Musically, “B!tch Please” moves away from the pop R&B and comedy elements of “Drunk Texting” into blues rock, with live-band energy, blues-based chords, and a more stripped-back feel. What made this the right musical language for the story you wanted to tell?
The story was first. Looking back, the toast, the smirk. The sound found it after. Once the lyric was sitting at that temperature, polished pop and a ballad just did not tell the story they way it needed to be told. Blues-rock is what gave it grit and teeth — raw guitar, roots in the chords, a live-band pulse, a sassy, toothy bite. Story first. A chorus you remember after the door shuts.
The song presents the other woman’s situation with a certain level of irony, suggesting that what looks like a “sugar-daddy” fantasy may come with its own consequences. How conscious were you of giving every character in the story a sense of reality rather than creating a simple hero and villain?
Very conscious. The other woman believed the fantasy she was sold. The man is the one who roams. I am not interested in revenge or pure villainy. A man who leaves his family is not a prize you won. He is a pattern for heartache.
As a female artist who writes her own lyrics, how important is it for you to control the perspective of your stories, particularly when writing about relationships, betrayal, sexuality, or the complicated choices people make?
Essential. Controlling the perspective means the story stays mine — not the industry’s version of a betrayed woman, not a meme, not a victim arc. Especially on subjects like betrayal or complicated choices. If I do not own the angle, then the story gets lost. I am a storyteller first and foremost.
“B!tch Please” and “Drunk Texting” are very different songs in tone and genre, yet both use unusual real-life situations as creative material. What is it about everyday human chaos that continues to inspire you as a songwriter?
Human behavior is simply fascinating; why people do and say what they do, why they believe what they believe, the choices they make, the consequences that follow and how they adapt or spiral. Real life is messy and full of ever changing complicated emotions. “Drunk Texting” came from a fun chaotic Miami trip that included drunk texts and the “oh no” moments, crashing a famous NFL player’s wife’s party, there was a protest, and a bomb threat all around that event. This one came from a door opening, that wasn’t know it needed to be opened. Everyday chaos has plot, timing, and punchlines already built in and provides an abundance of material.
You are building Exzenya Productions independently, which gives you significant creative control over your music. What have you learned about yourself as an artist from having to make the creative and business decisions yourself?
I have learned that the story picks the tone, architect, and the sound. Having the imprint means I can move when the story demands it — pop-R&B one day, roots rock the next — without asking permission. It also means every decision (creative and business) lands on me. That is clarifying.
Beyond the humor, attitude, and genre changes, what do you believe connects your different releases and makes something unmistakably an Exzenya song? Is there a particular emotional truth or storytelling instinct you always return to?
I tell stories, I write about people’s emotions and experiences, and then I put it to sound. I give people a name for what they are or have gone through, a place of where that part of them is accepted and allows them to see that they are not alone in what they are feeling or going through. I connect with people on a human level, that is both the truth and the storytelling instinct that I keep returning to.
As you continue developing your sound, where do you see Exzenya going next? Are you interested in exploring more of the roots rock and blues territory introduced by “B!tch Please,” or do you want the freedom to keep moving between genres whenever the story demands it?
I want the freedom to keep moving. Roots rock and blues fit this story. The next one will want whatever it wants. More singles. Finishing more albums. The catalog registered and owned. Keep the voice live. If the story needs teeth, it gets teeth. If it needs bounce, it gets bounce. I do not lock the door on any lane.
