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.
Two different people
'Round and 'round again
We keep pretending around our friends
We're two different people
And you're mixing signals
Mixing you and me and the truth between
Just like we're mixing drinks, you're mixing signals
All the talking is just talking
'Til the talking stops and everybody leaves
They think you're going home
But they don't know that you been coming home with me, yeah
Baby, when the Sun goes down
We make secrets we don't talk about
Girl, you make the stars come out
And the difference is like night and day, night and day
I melt into you like a sunset red
And you burn me up with every breath
Baby, when you're falling into me, falling into you
Nothing in-between
We get tangled up like night and day, night and day, yeah
Ooh, stop
When you wake up tomorrow
Will you change your mind and draw the line
Or will you still be mine when you wake up tomorrow?
Your body language
Oh, it contradicts and goes against
Every single little thing you've been saying
All the talking is just talking
'Til the talking stops and you lean into me, into me
And when midnight hits your lips
Without a word, your lips can tell me everything I need
Baby, when the Sun goes down
We make secrets we don't talk about
Girl, you make the stars come out
And the difference is like night and day, night and day
I melt into you like a sunset red
And you burn me up with every breath
Baby, when you're falling into me, falling into you
Nothing in-between
We get tangled up like night and day, night and day, yeah
Talking is just talking 'til the talking stops
Oh, when the Sun goes down
We make secrets we don't talk about
Girl, you make the stars come out
And the difference is like night and day, night and day
I melt into you like a sunset red
And you burn me up with every breath
Baby, when you're falling into me, falling into you
Nothing in-between
We get tangled up like night and day, oh, like night and day
Baby, when the Sun goes down
We make secrets we don't talk about
Girl, you make the stars come out
And the difference is like night and day, night and day
