The rising pop artist got her start performing in high school before she started releasing her own music during her time at Towson University. Ashley was pursuing a nursing degree when a local bar came across a video of her singing online and invited her to perform onstage. While still enrolled in college, Ashley began to sing in local venues more regularly and produce songs on the side. In only the past year, what started out as a hobby has grown into a full time career with a larger fanbase than she had ever thought possible. Her breakout single “Love You From a Distance” set TikTok on fire with her D.I.Y. performance from the bathroom, and quickly led to her eventual signing with Darkroom/Interscope Records. Amassing well over 100 million streams and 20 million TikTok views, Ashley’s heartfelt honesty captivates on a series of singles and her debut EP, One Eighty. The project is the culmination of a productive year for Ashley as her fan base steadily grew and she continued to hone her craft. Now, with her breakout year behind her and an even more exciting year ahead, she will hit the road for the first time to perform her shows live in New York and Los Angeles.

Ashley Kutcher Lyrics
You talk a lot, I say a little
If we were space, I'd be the middle
And you'd be the corners holding us together
'Cause you're the glue and I'm the scissors
I'm the shaking, you're the calm down
You're the safe call, I'm the night out
I'm the candle that caught on the curtain
A little spark that burned the house down
Please, don't go
I'm too scared I don't know who I am when I'm alone
Don't you know
You're the only thing that's ever felt close enough to home
And mark my words
Someday, I'll be somebody you deserve
Please, don't go
Please, don't go
You're a firefighter, I'm a matchbox (mm-mm-mm-mm)
If we were speed, I'd be a hard stop
And you'd be the steady two hands on the wheel
Parallel park in the last spot
You're perfect for me
You're everything I want and you're everything I need
But I'm so bad for you
I want you to stay but I don't know why you do
Please, don't go
I'm too scared I don't know who I am when I'm alone
Don't you know
You're the only thing that's ever felt close enough to home
And mark my words
Someday, I'll be somebody you deserve
Please, don't go
Sadly, I know you won't
Save yourself (save yourself)
'Cause I know you're hurting
Risk your flesh (risk your flesh)
To stop mine from burning
Save yourself (save yourself)
'Cause I know you're hurting
Get out now, I'm only a burden
(You're the stayer, I'm the leaver)
I'm only a burden
(You're the stronger, I'm the weaker)
(You're the stayer, I'm the leaver)
(You're the stronger, I'm the weaker)
If we were space, I'd be the middle
And you'd be the corners holding us together
'Cause you're the glue and I'm the scissors
I'm the shaking, you're the calm down
You're the safe call, I'm the night out
I'm the candle that caught on the curtain
A little spark that burned the house down
Please, don't go
Don't you know
You're the only thing that's ever felt close enough to home
And mark my words
Someday, I'll be somebody you deserve
Please, don't go
Please, don't go
You're a firefighter, I'm a matchbox (mm-mm-mm-mm)
If we were speed, I'd be a hard stop
And you'd be the steady two hands on the wheel
Parallel park in the last spot
You're perfect for me
You're everything I want and you're everything I need
But I'm so bad for you
I want you to stay but I don't know why you do
Please, don't go
I'm too scared I don't know who I am when I'm alone
Don't you know
You're the only thing that's ever felt close enough to home
And mark my words
Someday, I'll be somebody you deserve
Please, don't go
Sadly, I know you won't
Save yourself (save yourself)
'Cause I know you're hurting
Risk your flesh (risk your flesh)
To stop mine from burning
Save yourself (save yourself)
'Cause I know you're hurting
Get out now, I'm only a burden
(You're the stayer, I'm the leaver)
I'm only a burden
(You're the stronger, I'm the weaker)
(You're the stayer, I'm the leaver)
(You're the stronger, I'm the weaker)

Oh my gosh Ashley, this song is beautiful, meaningful, sad, enlightening, and I could go on and on...I love your voice. It is so unique! The lyrics are so moving, and there is a lot of variety in your music which is something else that I really like. This definitely gets added to the list as one of my favorites.
Please don't ever give up on yourself. I know you are too strong to do this. You have so many people rallying for you. I feel like 2024 is going to be your year to really make it big.
I am clueless about how your fans can also help you further break into the market / especially radio to start. I know you are already making strides. I am soooo tired of hearing the same songs on 104.3 and 106.5 - you now know I'm local to Baltimore LOL.
Keep doing what God made you to do. You will achieve your goals soon. ❤️😇😘🎼🌠🙏🌄

This song has been making me tear up. It reminds me of my ex who broke up with me and insisted that we stay friends which I wanted to do because he was the most amazing guy I've ever been with and I wanted to at least keep him in my life any way possible. I just found out that he never had romantic feelings for me and was just with me to protect the friendship and my feelings, but I just can't seem to get over him and I keep thinking that maybe if I'm just better, prettier, ect maybe he'll feel the same as I do. I know it's delusional and that I should just admit to myself that he'll never feel the same for me but he's so sweet, kind, and everything I've ever looked for and my stupid heart made me fall to hard for a guy who would never really love me in the way I did him and I don't know what to do because I feel like I need to move on but I know if I do I'll always wonder what if, what could've happened, what could've become between us for better or worse
