NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today, Big Loud Records / Back Blocks Music’s powerhouse country artist, songwriter and breakout star, Ashley Cooke, releases her brand-new project, ace – listen here. The project bridges the gap between her debut and sophomore albums, spanning nine deeply personal tracks and featuring five brand-new songs. Among them is the long-awaited official release of fan-favorite “baby blues,” which has already earned over 20 million views across TikTok UGC, and her latest single “the hell you are,” which recently debuted as No. 1 most added on country radio.

Says Ashley on ace, “This 9 song project means more to me than anything I’ve done thus far. It’s not my sophomore record quite yet… it’s more of a bridge to it. A chronological story, a concept record about the deeply personal parts of the last 2.5 years (since my debut record). It’s conversations with my friends/favorite co-writers about very real topics during a chapter that changed me to my core. Here is my heart in 9 tracks. Handle with care. Welcome to ace.”

Ashley is set for a string of high-profile live moments in celebration of ace. She’ll take the stage tonight at the Grand Ole Opry as part of its OPRY 100 series alongside Kelsea Ballerini and LANY, followed by a performance at Red Bull Jukebox Nashville at The Pinnacle tomorrow with Treaty Oak Revival, Kashus Culpepper, and Carter Faith. On Monday, 11/17, Ashley will perform “the hell you are” on The TODAY Show on NBC during the 10 A.M. ET hour, before stepping into the ring at WWE Monday Night RAW to perform “God Bless America” at Madison Square Garden for John Cena’s final New York City match. On December 1, Ashley will perform for ACM Lifting Lives presents Ashley Cooke and Friends at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville.

Ashley kicked off the year headlining her your place Tour and joining Kane Brown on the road, earned an ACM nomination for New Female Artist, and released “All I Forgot” with Joe Jonas. Following a jam-packed CMA Fest, she dropped her fiery anthem “the hell you are” and starred alongside the Rizzler in a Hardee’s commercial. Ashley toured extensively throughout the year with Kane Brown, Parker McCollum, Dustin Lynch, Brad Paisley, Lee Brice, Dylan Scott, and more, while also headlining select shows and performing at major festivals.

Says Ashley on “tin foil hat,” “’tin foil hat’ is about those moments when your mind runs wild — when you take the smallest thing and suddenly you’re spiraling, creating entire stories from it. It’s that tug-of-war between knowing you might be overthinking, but also wondering…what if you’re not?”

The project features nine tracks total with five brand-new songs including the highly anticipated fan-favorite live track, “baby blues.” Pre-save acehere. Full tracklist below.

Says Ashley on ace, “Growing up, my dad gave me this nickname: Ace. I’m not sure if it was his love of blackjack or because it’s kind of my initials, but nonetheless, it just stuck. It makes me think of the person that I am, truly, to my core, behind closed doors.

It’s been about two and a half years since my debut record was released. So many incredible, bucket-list things filled the days after with the best people I could ever imagine getting to share them with. But life has a funny way of spitting rain when you think it’s gonna be a sunny day. I swear, one thing hit after another. I lost some of the most important people in my life, and health issues in my family piled up left and right. Love came, and love went.

This music is derived from those real situations. It’s brutal honesty. It’s a story in chronological order. And it’s a collection of songs welcoming you to the next chapter.

This is ace. Make yourself at home.”

Earlier this month, Ashley’s fiery track “the hell you are” blazed to country radio and was immediately the No. 1 most added. She then went on to release two versions of “tin foil hat,” with an official music video for the panic attack version. After releasing “swear words” in August, Ashley took to Instagram to let fans in on her release plans, originally slated to release only ”baby blues” on November 14.

“the f word” cover art | Download here

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Big Loud’s powerhouse country songstress and breakout star Ashley Cooke has released her latest track, “the f word,” available everywhere today. The song finds a lovestruck Cooke aching and regretting saying the F word in front of a paramour’s mother, only to reveal that the F word isn’t the notorious expletive but rather…forever. Ashley, deeply enamored, tells her partner, “I’m going to spend forever with you” even though the early declaration causes her to cringe.

“This song immediately caught my attention from the title,” shares Cooke. “It’s brilliantly written and resonates with an experience I had in a past relationship…The song starts with ‘I try not to swear,’ which cracks me up because I have the mouth of a sailor, often using many f-words.”

Ashley, who is currently opening for Kane Brown on his arena tour, first teased the track during her performance at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, treating the crowd of 20,000 fans to a first listen. See the videos and hear the crowds’ enthusiastic reaction here. She also performed the song to strong response at the Country Radio Seminar (CRS).

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Big Loud’s powerhouse country songstress Ashley Cooke capped off a milestone week with an unforgettable performance of “all I forgot” feat. Joe Jonas at the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) New Faces 2025 Show on Friday, Feb. 21.

SEE MOMENTS FROM THE SHOW HERE

The surprises didn’t stop there – earlier in the week, Cooke took the stage to a packed house at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl for a headlining show that saw an all-star lineup of special guests including Jordan Davis, Nate Smith and Emily Weisband. Adding to the night’s highlights, Cooke’s team at Big Loud Records surprised her on stage with an RIAA Gold plaque for her No. 1 single, “your place.”

Former tourmate Davis joined Cooke on stage for a performance of his No. 1 hit “Singles You Up,” while Smith and Cooke thrilled with their collaboration “see you around” off of her debut record shot in the dark. Hit songwriter Weisband added to the night’s magic when she joined Cooke for an intimate performance of “The F Word,” an unreleased song that offers a glimpse at Cooke’s upcoming sophomore effort, set to be produced by award-winning producer Dan Huff. Calling the next chapter “brutally honest,” fans can expect an album later this year. 

Upon its release, the hard-hitting duet “all I forgot” feat. Joe Jonas had fans and industry alike buzzing. The evocative collaboration blends Cooke’s signature warmth with Jonas’ smooth pop charm for a gut-punching anthem about love, loss and the memories that refuse to fade at the bottom of a bottle. The song is accompanied by a lyric video, also out now.  Turning the classic “drinking to forget” trope on its head, “all I forgot” captures the sting of heartbreak that even the strongest pour can’t drown out as Cooke and Jonas swap harmonies through a melody drenched in late-night regret.

LISTEN: “all I forgot” feat. Joe Jonas

Cooke will continue captivating audiences on her your place Tour, which has already seen standout shows at Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed St. and Indianapolis’ 8 Second Saloon. This week, she heads to NYC’s iconic Gramercy Theatre, followed by Boston’s Paradise Rock Club. Come March, she’ll hit the road with Cody Johnson in Australia before joining Kane Brown in the U.S.

With the momentum of her first No. 1 country radio hit with “your place” – one of the few solo female chart-toppers in 2024 – Cooke charges into 2025 as a nominee for Best New Country Artist at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Already named a MusicRow Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year, ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee and a CMT Music Award winner, Cooke continues to carve her ‘place’ as one of country music’s most exciting female voices.

With 500M on demand artist streams and recognition from iHeart, Spotify, the Grand Ole Opry and CMT, Cooke’s rise shows no signs of slowing down.
