Hunter Easton Hayes nació el 9 de septiembre de 1991 en Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Desde una temprana edad, destacó por su talento musical, alimentado sustancialmente por la rica influencia cultural de su entorno. Apenas a los dos años de edad, Hunter ya había recibido su primera guitarra de manos del actor Robert Duvall, lo que marcó el inicio de una vida inmersa en la música.
Durante sus años infantiles y adolescentes, Hunter ya había mostrado un talento increíble. Apareció en el programa de televisión "The Maury Show" a los cuatro años y en "America's Most Talented Kids" a los trece, asombrando al público con sus dotes como cantante y multiinstrumentista. Podía tocar más de 30 instrumentos y se ganó una reputación como un verdadero niño prodigio.
En 2010, después de mudarse a Nashville, firmó un contrato con Atlantic Records. En 2011, lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, "Hunter Hayes". El sencillo principal, "Storm Warning", recibió una favorable acogida, pero fue con "Wanted" que alcanzó notoriedad mundial. Esta canción no solo ascendió rápidamente en las listas de éxitos, sino que también le otorgó su primer número uno en el Billboard Hot Country Songs.
I'm booking myself a one way flight
I gotta see the color in your eyes
I'm telling myself I'm going to be alright
Without you baby is a waste of time
Our first date girl the seasons changed
Got washed away in the summer rain
Can't undo a fall like this
Cause love don't know what distance is
Yeah I know it's crazy
But I don't want good
And I don't want good enough
I want can't sleep can't breath without your love
Front porch and one more kiss
Doesn't make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you're all I think about
I've searched the world and I know now
It ain't bad if you ain't lost you're mind
Yeah I don't want easy
I want crazy
Are you with me baby
Lets be crazy
Yeah
I wanna be scared don't wanna know why
I wanna feel good, don't have to be right
The world makes all kind of rules for love
I say you gotta let it do what it does
I don't want just another hug and a kiss goodnight
Catching up calls and a date sometimes
A love that revels and we still believe
We're the kind of crazy people wish that they could be
I know what crazy
Yeah
But I don't want good
And I don't want good enough
I want can't sleep can't breath without your love
Front porch and one more kiss
Doesn't make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you're all I think about
I've searched the world and I know now
It ain't bad if you ain't lost your mind
Yeah I don't want easy
I want crazy
Are you with me baby
Lets be crazy
But I don't want good
And I don't want good enough
I want can't sleep can't breath without your love
Front porch and one more kiss
Doesn't make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you're all I think about
I've searched the world and I know now
It ain't bad if you ain't lost your mind
Yeah I don't want easy
I want crazy
Yeah look at us baby
Tonight the midnight rules are breaking
There's no such thing as wild enough
Maybe we just think too much
Who needs to play it safe in love
Lets be crazy
Who cares if we're crazy
We gotta be crazy
I know that we're crazy
So lets be crazy
Yeah
