About This Track

‘Bubba’ by Hovvdy is an alternative track from the album ‘Hovvdy’, released in 2024. The lyrics move through a conversational, urgent address, prompted by a sister’s directive to revise course, with a repeated insistence on being held by the hand. There is also a small roll call of emotional flips, from crash to tears to smiles, alongside a speaker who admits uncertainty, then resolves to “cut, cut it out” and get a grip. The tone is intimate and self-correcting, as private doubt collides with close kin advice.

"Bubba" is a single by Hovvdy, from the album Hovvdy, released 25th April 2024. The track is 3:09 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Hovvdy.

Lyrics

Bubba

Can I dive deeper?
My sister said, "Bubba, change your plans"
You can hold me by the hand
You can hold me by the hand

Crash made you cry, he made you smile
Never knew a better man
Never knew a better man
Never knew a better man

I'll cut, cut it out
I'll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while

I'll cut, cut it out
I'll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while

Let it go, 'cause it's all
You let it go

You used to talk about him much more
Now you can't
Bring it up without a helpless feeling
I get it

Bubba, you know I wanna fix it
When you're down, when you need some help
I'm not around, god, I hate it
(God, I hate it, yeah)

But I'll cut, cut it out
I'll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while

I'll cut, cut it out
I'll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while

Please hold on to it for a while
