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.
Hit me last night like a ton of bricks
If this is really it, this is starting over
There's no should've, could've, would've said this
Done that, no turning back, no more I wonders
No harm done, no hard feelings
Maybe some other time but gives me some peace of mind
If that was the end of the ride, I'm getting back in line
'Cause I'm telling you
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like shedding a heartache
Writing a new page to say what you wanna say
There's nothing like a heart wide open
That bittersweet comfort of knowing
You can let go and take the weight off your shoulders
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like starting over
Love's got a way of letting you know
When the time to hold on or time to let go, tells you so
It's the cold in the kiss, of looking away
The say what you mean, well do you mean what you say?
I don't really know
It's time to reset, rethink, reposition
There's nothing wrong with me, it's just a condition
It's the science of love, fly when we fall, through it all
We turn with the tide, 'cause we're free on the other side
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like shedding a heartache
Writing a new page to say what you wanna say
There's nothing like a heart wide open
That bittersweet comfort of knowing you
You can let go and take the weight off your shoulders
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like starting over, starting over
Yeah
One is a lonely number
It kind of makes you wonder
How starting back at zero can feel so nice
But it feels just right
'Cause there just ain't nothing like
There's nothing like starting over
There's nothing like shedding a heartache
Writing a new page to say what you wanna say
There's nothing like a heart wide open
That bittersweet comfort of knowing you
Can let go and take the weight off your shoulders
Nothing like starting over, yeah yeah yeah
No there's nothing like
No there's nothing like starting over, no, no, no, no, no
Starting over
