Get ready to feel the sting of “Better Man Than Me,” a gut-punch collab from Marshmello and Hudson Westbrook that’s lighting up 2025 with its raw, breakup-driven storytelling. Dropping as part of their genre-blending project, this track fuses Marshmello’s signature EDM pulse with Westbrook’s Nashville-bred country soul, creating a sound that’s both dancefloor-ready and heart-wrenchingly honest. Lines like “Girl, break my heart, just let it bleed” capture the push-pull of a toxic romance, with Marshmello’s moody synths backing Westbrook’s gritty vocals as they own up to leading someone on and urging them to move on. It’s a bold step for Marshmello, fresh off Joytime IV’s pop-dance highs, and a breakout moment for Westbrook, who’s been climbing charts since his 2024 debut.
The track’s confessional vibe, with its mix of regret and self-awareness, resonates with fans on X and Spotify, who are calling it a perfect blend of electronic sheen and country’s emotional core. It’s less about festival bangers and more about late-night introspection, fitting into a project that explores love’s messy edges alongside tracks like “Fallen.” As Marshmello leans into this Nashville crossover and Westbrook cements his rising-star status, “Better Man Than Me” stands out as a call to let go and let love heal. Whether you’re here for the aching lyrics or the genre-mashing production, this one’s a playlist must for anyone navigating heartbreak’s rough roads.

Lyrics of Better Man Than Me by Marshmello & Hudson Westbrook
[Verse 1]
Well, You’ve Turned Into A Lesson To Learn
To A Bridge I Should Burn
But Burning It Down Is More Your Thing
You Gave Me Too Many Chances
More Questions Than Answers
More Nights Spent Alone In The Rain
[Pre-Chorus]
You Call My Phone, I Let It Ring
I Let It Ring Until It’s Wrong
Wrong As It Is, I Spend The Night
You End Up Crying, Then I’m Gone
If I’m So Predictable, Then Why Would You Stay?
Yeah, Wrap Me Up, Throw Me Away
[Chorus]
Girl, Break My Heart
Just Let It Bleed
You Should’ve Known
We’d Never Be
It’s Common Sense
It’s Time To Leave
It’s Time To Find Somebody Else
Girl, Finally
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
[Post-Chorus]
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
[Verse 2]
I Led You On, I Let You Dream
I Let You Dream, And That Ain’t Right
Knew Right Away The Games I Played
The Calling Names And Picking Fights
It’s So Addictive, You’re So Hard To Put Down
Tired Of Wondering When, Just Do It Now
[Chorus]
Girl, Break My Heart
Just Let It Bleed
You Should’ve Known
We’d Never Be
It’s Common Sense
It’s Time To Leave
It’s Time To Find Somebody Else
Girl, Finally
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
[Post-Chorus]
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
[Chorus]
Girl, Break My Heart
Just Let It Bleed
You Should’ve Known
We’d Never Be
It’s Common Sense
It’s Time To Leave
It’s Time To Find Somebody Else
Girl, Finally
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
[Post-Chorus]
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A
Go Find A Better Man Than Me
