Originally featured on Hudson's recently released EP, The Long Way Home (Vol. 1), the song brings together two of indie music's most compelling young voices. Produced alongside Adam Melchor and Jack Schrepferman, the delicate duet unfolds with quiet honesty, blending Hudson's introspective songwriting with Sydney's unmistakable warmth to create one of the project's emotional centerpieces.
“We shot 'Don't Get Me Started' in Nashville, and having Sydney there made it feel less like a music video, and more like we were just letting the camera catch something real. Nashville is home, so shooting it there with Sydney just made sense, and it made the song feel more tangible to me.”
– Hudson Ingram
"This was one of the easiest songs I’ve ever collaborated on. The atmosphere that Hudson, Jack and Aaron created at Long Pond was so incredibly inviting. Once we started writing, it all flowed so smoothly. I’m so honored to have been thought of and to be a part of this song."
– Sydney Rose
The performance video arrives just after Hudson's appearance at Rolling Stone's Stateside Festival in Kingston, New York, where Sydney Rose surprised the audience by joining him onstage for a live performance of "Don't Get Me Started," bringing the collaboration to life in front of fans for the first time. Released earlier this month, The Long Way Home (Vol. 1) marks the first installment in Hudson's upcoming trilogy of EPs. Exploring themes of growing up, leaving home to chase a dream, and returning changed by the journey, the project continues to establish Hudson as one of indie music's most promising young songwriters. Hudson continues to build on a breakout year, with more new music and announcements to come.
About Hudson Ingram:
Hudson Ingram yearns for what’s real. In a time of algorithms and isolation, the Nashville singer-songwriter, 19, pulls you in with textural strums, laid-back chords, searching lyrics, and satin-smooth vocals — a blend of indie-pop and Americana that warms the skin like a bear hug. That vision coalesces across The Long Way Home, a trilogy of EPs Hudson’s honed with Aaron Dessner in a joint venture between the acclaimed producer and Interscope Records. The new music isn’t just a balm against falsity — it’s also a coming-of-age project that traces Hudson’s return to what he considers to be his truest self after a period of upheaval left him creatively and personally adrift. But he’s nothing if not a natural storyteller, born and raised in Austin, TX, immersed in song at home, in honky-tonks, and at the occasional arena. He went from studying classical piano to singing in middle school theatre to playing guitar at church, while developing a melting pot of tastes now reflected in his work — spanning classic pop, rock, and folk (Taylor, Petty, Dylan) to our contemporary confessional era (Swift, Mayer, Bon Iver). At just 17, he left home for Nashville and began taking college courses, suddenly dropped halfway through the maze that connects adolescence to adulthood. Now, he’s writing and recording his way out guided by both youthful vulnerability and old-soul wisdom. The search for authenticity can be anguishing, but, as Hudson demonstrates, the scenic route is the most rewarding.
About Sydney Rose:
Music will always be there for us—especially when we don’t have the words to express what we want to say. Georgia-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sydney Rose writes songs for those moments. As she sings, it almost sounds like she’s whispering in your ear, giving you a boost of confidence, offering a little clarity, or just reminding you everything will be okay. Growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, she picked up ukulele, piano, and guitar. Building an audience organically on social media, she broke through with a viral take on “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last. It gathered over 67 million Spotify streams, led to her first label deal at 18-years-old, and set the stage for 2022’s You Never Met Me EP. A year later, she unveiled her debut LP, One Sided, highlighted by “You’d Be Stars” [feat. Chloe Moriondo]. She received co-signs courtesy of everyone from Olivia Rodrigo and Addison Grace who invited her on tour. In the Fall of 2024, Sydney found herself unexpectedly released by her label. Now settled in Nashville, she reflected inwardly and returned all her focus to honing her music. She independently dropped the fan favorite voice notes EP. While sitting at the piano one day, she crafted “We Hug Now.” It exploded on TikTok and inspired over 1 million “creates,” yielding 6.5 billion total views and reaching the Top 15 of the TikTok Top Songs Chart. “We Hug Now” catapulted to the Top 3 of the Spotify US and Global Viral 50 Charts. Amassing 190 million streams and counting, she entered and quickly hit Top 20 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart and hit Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Alternative Songs Charts. In 2025, Sydney released her acclaimed I Know What I Want EP and embarked on a sold-out headline across Europe and the U.S., closing out the year with a collaborative cover of "Sympathy Is a Knife" with Medium Build. Sydney recently wrapped her Australian headline tour and will join Mon Rovîa as support on his North American tour this September. Most recently, she released her new single, "Track Team."
