Marshmello & Hudson Westbrook reverse the energy with "Better Man Than Me"

American DJ Marshmello and country artist Hudson Westbrook are serving up a surprising, high-octane first-time collaboration with the release of their new single, "Better Man Than Me," The track marks a perfect cross-pollination of Marshmello's electrifying sound and Westbrook's Texas-bred country storytelling, creating an anthem that feels both modern yet simple in its emotional depth.

For Marshmello, who's made a name for himself as one of the few DJs who crossover between genres, this latest experiment represents his ongoing exploration in country-tinged EDM. Hudson Westbrook, meanwhile, continues to prove he's a versatile force. "Better Man Than Me" was penned by a talented group of songwriters, including Grady Block, Hank Compton, Jamie McLaughlin, Logan Garrett, Marshmello, Nils Ganz & Ryan Vojtesak.

The production credits are shared between Marshmello and Charlie Handsome, as well as some of the writers. The result is a track that positively vibrates with energy while maintaining an earthbound, emotional core. Marshmello's towering production wizardry, combined with Westbrook's genuinely country sensibility, and the song already sounds like a highlight for anyone searching for something bold, catchy, and deeply relatable.
