Cloē Hubbard Takes Aim At Modern Dating Culture With Bold New Single “Men Used To Go To War”

Emerging Americana-country artist Cloē Hubbard isn’t holding back on her latest release. With sharp wit, traditional country storytelling and a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek honesty, Hubbard’s new single, “Men Used To Go To War,” takes a hard look at modern dating culture and asks a question many are thinking but few are saying out loud: What happened to chivalry?

Built around vivid imagery of cowboys, blue-collar workers and generations defined by resilience and sacrifice, the track contrasts the grit of the past with the laid-back attitudes of today. Written by Cloē Hubbard, Cole Phillips, Daniel Ethridge and Mike Walker (Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, Max McNown), and produced by Cole Phillips, the song blends classic country conviction with a modern Americana edge.

“Everyone’s so nonchalant these days. We’re bringing chivalry back,” says Hubbard.

With lyrics that reference soldiers storming beaches, miners working long days underground and cowboys riding off into the sunset, Hubbard uses nostalgia as a lens to explore effort, accountability and what she sees as a growing lack of ambition in modern relationships. Equal parts playful and provocative, the song is designed to spark conversation while staying rooted in country music’s tradition of telling the truth as the artist sees it.

Hubbard is a singer-songwriter from Santa Cruz, California whose music blends modern Americana with country storytelling. Influenced by artists including Willow Avalon, Sierra Ferrell, Maggie Antone, Jessie Murph and Tyler Childers, Hubbard creates music that balances timeless themes with contemporary perspectives.

Hubbard’s passion for performance began at a young age and was further cemented when, at just 16, she performed at New York City’s renowned Green Room 42 off-Broadway venue. Since then, she has continued to build a dedicated following through live performances across California’s Central Coast, including appearances at Laughing Monk Brewing in Scotts Valley and The Woodhouse Brewing Company in Santa Cruz.

Recently featured in Santa Cruz New Music, Hubbard continues to gain momentum as one of the region’s most promising emerging artists, earning recognition for her distinctive voice, honest songwriting, and modern take on Americana and country music.

As country music continues to celebrate bold storytelling and distinct perspectives, “Men Used To Go To War” positions Hubbard as an emerging artist unafraid to tackle cultural conversations through her songwriting. Combining traditional country themes with a fresh female perspective, the release showcases her ability to blend timeless values with contemporary experiences.
