Something Out West Releases Debut EP ‘Leaving Hollywood’

June 23, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Something Out West recently released their debut EP Leaving Hollywood via Big Machine Records.

In celebration of the new EP, which includes “You Better Run,” “Bipolar Heart,” the title track, and more, the duo of Chet Hanks and Drew Arthur will make their TV debut on TODAY and The Kelly Clarkson Show tomorrow (June 24).

Following the success of their viral hit and music video for “You Better Run,” which quickly garnered nearly half a million views in its first week of release, Something Out West’s Leaving Hollywood EP features five original tracks that draw influence from the Eagles, Blink-182, The Beatles and more.

Comprised of Arthur, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter from Florida known for his introspective lyrics and dynamic melodies, and Hanks, who stars in Netflix’s No. 1 hit series Running Point as basketball star/aspiring musician Travis Bugg, Something Out West has developed a distinctive sound that fuses Nashville roots with modern, genre-blending influences. The duo has already been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Drew Barrymore Show, TODAY, Variety, Esquire, and more.

Leaving Hollywood Track List:
1. “You Better Run” (Drew Arthur, Brendan Cooney, TJ Courtney)
2. “Bipolar Heart” (Drew Arthur, Brendan Cooney, TJ Courtney)
3. “Already Won” (Drew Arthur, Brendan Cooney, TJ Courtney)
4. “This Ain’t Heaven” (Drew Arthur, Brendan Cooney, Chris Rafetto)
5. “Leaving Hollywood” (Drew Arthur, Heath Warren, Eric Paquette, Eric Van Houten)
