Background

Tucker Wetmore previewed the song through snippets on the video-sharing app TikTok before releasing it, [1] helping it gain viral attention on social media. The song is about him being ready to date a girl who is not blonde and looking for a brunette instead. During an interview with Taste of Country Nights following the song's release, Wetmore said "I've been known to like blondes. Pretty much every girlfriend I've ever had was a blonde". He also admitted that he had yet to date a brunette. [2]

Composition and lyrics

"Brunette" is a country pop song. It starts with fast fingerstyle guitar, followed by the entry a drum fill and thumping bass drum among other instruments played by a full band. Tucker Wetmore begins by explaining that he has always been attracted to blonde women, but they have mistreated him in his past relationships with them, so he no longer seeks romance with blondes. In the chorus, he describes the type of woman that he is now interested in: "I need a brown eyed 5'5" / North side of the Mason–Dixon line / Kind ain't climbed up in a four-wheel drive that's lifted / Never been fishing never been mudding / Gotta be gotta be one that doesn't remind me of you there beside me / I need to find me a brunette". Later on, Wetmore highlights that he does not wish to find a partner who reminds him of his ex-girlfriends and only wants to sleep with a woman who has a different hair color. [1]

Music video

The music video was released on November 21, 2025. The video was directed by Chase Foster and Wetmore, and stars Hannah Godwin as "the Brunette", Joey Graziadei as the bartender, and Austin Richardson as the Deputy. [3]
