Hudson Thames’ “Wrong” is that late-night drive kind of song—the one you play on repeat when you’re wrestling with your feelings and the silence feels too loud. With a voice that’s equal parts gentle and anguished, Hudson spills his insecurities like a confession. His breath falls softly with each line, like he’s afraid of what he’s admitting. It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and it’s painfully relatable. The piano tiptoes alongside him, the drums thump softly, and by the time the guitars start churning in the bridge, you’re already too deep in your feelings to turn back.
The lyrics are a minefield of doubts and fears. When Hudson sings “I’m afraid of your love / Afraid that it’s real,” it’s like he’s reading from every overthinker’s diary. He’s terrified of commitment, but he’s even more terrified of ending up alone. The chorus—“I hope that I’m all wrong, wrong, wrong”—hits hard, capturing that desperate wish that maybe, just maybe, you’re sabotaging something good for no reason at all. There’s a heartbreaking honesty in lines like “If I wanted love / I would have it now”—like he’s admitting he’s his own worst enemy.
Hudson’s screen actor chops shine through in both the song and the music video. Directed by Taylor Gray and Violett Beane, the video is a moody masterpiece. Hudson is pulled through a series of white doors—each hiding a different version of his life. Behind one is a girlfriend, played by the graceful Camila Arana, behind another is a party, and yet another leads to a stage. But the more doors he opens, the more lost he seems. It’s beautifully shot, haunting, and makes the song’s indecision feel almost cinematic.
Thames’ “Wrong” is a gut punch wrapped in dreamy instrumentals, and if you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice, you’ll feel every second of it. Check out the music video on YouTube.
