Ashley Cooke marks the start of a new chapter with “xs,” a moody midtempo single released March 27, 2026, built around a clear-eyed take on heartbreak without second-guessing. Centered on betrayal and crossed lines, the track leans into a steady unraveling—where quiet suspicions give way to undeniable truth, and there’s no interest in revisiting what’s already broken.
Co-written with Ashley Gorley, Emily Weisband, and Will Weatherly, “xs” frames its message with directness and emotional weight. The narrative doesn’t dwell on excuses—instead, it lands on a firm refusal to look back, capturing the moment where clarity replaces confusion.
Produced by Dann Huff, the song pairs its lyrical tone with a restrained but textured backdrop. Brooding rhythms and sharp guitar work create a low-lit atmosphere that mirrors the tension in the story, while Cooke’s vocal delivery balances restraint with underlying intensity.
The release follows a string of momentum-building moments for Cooke, including recent chart activity and the arrival of her acoustic project *the ace sessions*. With “xs,” she steps forward with a sharper perspective, reinforcing her ability to translate personal experience into grounded, relatable storytelling.

Her 13-year journey included roles ranging from promotional model—as Miss Valvoline—to business owner, having launched an apparel line specifically tailored for female motorsports fans.
