Ainsley Costello channels fierce energy and a pop-punk punch on 'EXLESS'

If 2024 was Ainsley Costello’s breakout year, then 2025 is shaping up to be her victory lap. With her new single 'EXLESS', the Nashville-based artist is looking to both kick off the year and kick the door down. Loaded with fiery hooks and an unapologetic bite, this track is a neon-lit anthem that blends angsty pop-rock nostalgia with a fresh, modern swagger.

Clocking in with a punchy rhythm section and a chorus built to be shouted from the rooftops, 'EXLESS' is all about reclaiming space and leaving the baggage behind. Costello sounds both fierce and free, her vocals cutting through the mix with clarity and intent.

Rather than brooding over heartbreak, 'EXLESS' opts for catharsis with a smirk. It’s the kind of track that thrives in sweaty basement gigs just as much as it belongs on your ‘don’t text your ex’ playlist. Ainsley’s songwriting here feels sharper than ever with a lean, clever, and emotionally charged drive without tipping into melodrama.

As far as new chapters go, this is the kind that scribbles over the old one in bold ink and keeps the story moving forward. With 'EXLESS', Ainsley Costello proves that she’s not just stepping into a new era, she’s strutting into it with steel-toe boots and a guitar slung over her shoulder. Keep your eyes on her; this ride’s only getting wilder.
