Kate Hudsonis looking to her mom,Goldie Hawn, for musical inspiration.
TheRunning Pointactress and singer, 45, released the deluxe version of her debut album,Glorious, on Feb. 21, featuring the song"Right on Time"about her famous mom’s life and the difficulties she faced pre-fame.
“She used to wrap her feet because she had all these holes in the bottom of the Cadillac — it was her dad’s car — and so she wrapped her feet while she drove to dance class,” she said. “When she’d get there, she’d have to thaw them out in warm water because they were frozen.”
The song came together while Hudson was in the studio with Linda Perry, who stepped out of the room to “take a phone call” while theAlmost Famousstar worked on music at the piano.
“She came back and she’s like, ‘That’s really good — what are you doing?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, I just started writing it. It feels like my mom,'” she recalled.

Hudson then opened up to the publication about feeling as though children are “supposed to carry on the stories of our parents,” noting that Hawn’s “story is amazing.”
The Golden Globe winner spoke about “how wild her stardom was for this little girl who came from a duplex house in Takoma Park, Md.”
“Sometimes I think part of what’s happening in our culture is we’re losing sight of the three-generational household. My grandma — my mom’s mom — she lived with us when I grew up, and there’s something about going in your grandma’s room and hearing her stories and understanding your history,” said Hudson.

She added, “I live seven blocks from my mom now, and she comes over every day.”
“My mom used to dance at truck stops in Jersey,” she detailed of her mom’s pre-fame origins. “She would go-go dance in cages. Well, she did a couple. Then she was like, “I don’t think I want to do this — I’m going to New York.'”

In another recent interview withThe Graham Norton Show, according toPopCrush, she spoke about Hawn’s reaction to the track: “I think she was confused at first but when I told her it was about her childhood, she was very emotional.”
Glorious was originally released in May 2024 and included the lead single “Talk About Love.” The deluxe version features two additional tracks: “Right on Time” and “Desert Warrior.”
