Hudson Westbrook’s Exclusive EP storms in like a Friday night tailgate on January 23 via Warner Music Nashville, and “Pretty Privilege” is the cheeky standout that’s already got us tipping our hats to that effortless allure—smooth as bourbon, sharp as a boot heel.
This one’s Hudson in his wheelhouse: a flirtatious country groove with twangy guitars strumming under those honey-dipped hooks, blending barroom swagger and heartfelt jabs at beauty’s unfair edge. Co-written with Lukas Scott and Beau Bailey, it’s got that modern Texas polish—think steady mid-tempo pulse, pedal steel sighs, and a chorus that sneaks up like a free drink at closing time.
Thematically, it’s all playful envy wrapped in confession, calling out the “beautiful abuse” of pretty privilege while admitting the pull: lines like “What’s a man to do when you wear that dress so confident?” hit that sweet spot of lust and light jealousy, proving Hudson’s got a knack for turning everyday crushes into ear candy. Dropped back in October with a fan-shot visualizer from his sold-out Dallas gig—directed by Emma Kate Golden—it blew up on TikTok, with clips of crowds singing along like it was their own inside joke.
Exclusive itself is Hudson’s second EP, a tight five-track punchbowl of fresh cuts that lean into his homegrown charisma—kicking off the year with unfiltered stories of love, longing, and Lone Star grit. The title track “Exclusive” sets the tone with its co-writes from Neil Medley and Ryan Beaver, followed by the cryptic “LMWYL,” a cover-tinged “Lovin’ on Me,” the brooding “If He Wanted To” (already a fan fave), and one more ace up his sleeve to round it out. It’s less a concept album, more a snapshot of a 21-year-old Stephenville kid chasing the Nashville dream, recorded in sessions that echo his Texas Forever full-length from last year—bigger production, but still that raw, road-tested soul.
Westbrook’s on a rocket ride right now, fresh off Texas Forever’s regional radio takeover and those packed headline shows that had lines wrapping ’round the block. The guy who ditched college for chord progressions is evolving fast—trading wide-eyed debuts for confident cuts that nod to elders like Cody Johnson while carving his own lane. With tour dates stacking up through spring and this EP teasing even bigger swings, it’s clear: Hudson’s not just playing the game; he’s rewriting the rules, one privileged pretty at a time.

Lyrics of Pretty Privilege by Hudson Westbrook
[Verse 1]
You Ain’t Ever Waited Outside
In A Line Wrapped ‘round A Dallas Nightclub
When Was The Last Time, You Had To Buy That Double Shot In Your Cup
Just Swing On By When That Drink Runs Dry
I’ll Be Next To Fill It Up
[Chorus]
Yea I’m Falling A Victim To Beautiful Abuse
What’s A Man To Do
When You Wear That Dress So Confident
I Lose All My Sense, Getting Mixed Up In
That Born With It, That Golden Ticket
That What You Want You Get It
Pretty Privilege
[Verse 2]
Laugh It Off Like You Ain’t Heard This
We Both Know That’s Far From The Truth
Must Be Nice Bein’ Miss Perfect
It’s Like Heaven Had Somethin’ To Prove
Darlin’, Are You Fallin’ Too?
[Chorus]
Cause I’m Falling A Victim To Beautiful Abuse
What’s A Man To Do
When You Wear That Dress So Confident
I Lose All My Sense, Getting Mixed Up In
That Born With It, That Golden Ticket
That What You Want You Get It
Pretty Privilege
Yeah You Got That Pretty Privilege
[Bridge]
Yeah You Ain’t Ever Walked Up To Anyone
They Always Walk Up To You
And Baby How Does It Feel
When Every Guy In This Room
[Chorus]
Is Falling A Victim To
You’re Come Kiss Me Blues
I’m Addicted To
You Wear That Dress So Confident
I Lose All My Sense, Getting Mixed Up In
That Born With It, That Golden Ticket
That Whatever You Want You Get It
Pretty Privilege
Whatever You Want You Get It
With That Pretty Privilege
[Outro]
You Ain’t Ever Waited Outside
In A Line Wrapped ‘round A Dallas Nightclub
