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 could spray-paint "I love you"
On that bridge or in the sky
And I could swear when you say it to me
There's a good chance I could fly
And I might, it seems like, yeah
If it's gonna be any night
It might as well be tonight
There's this thing that you do
You don't know that it does something to me, yeah
It's in the way that you sway, that you talk
That you touch, that you kiss, that you breathe
That I need, you look at me, girl
You're shaking things up like you wouldn't believe
Crashing my comfort zone, setting me free
It's a "who would've thought? "
You'd never dream " kind of thing
Your name, your name
Sounds so good next to mine, just saying
And I think, I think
I'm gonna put it in all my rhymes, baby
Cause with you, I'm gonna do quite
A few things that I never thought I would do
Your name, your name, your name
Would be a good tattoo, yeah
Would be a good tattoo
Ink it in on my skin, sign me up
Make it last against the time
'Cause this is more than a picture
That fades of a first date Friday night
It's unerasable, unmistakable
Hey, everybody wants to know
Now I think I know
I'll wear it on my sleeve, I gotta let it show
Making a promise
That I never wanna let you go
Your name, your name
Sounds so good next to mine, just saying
And I think, I think
I'm gonna put it in all my rhymes, baby
'Cause with you, I'm gonna do quite
A few things that I never thought I would do
Your name, your name, your name
Would be a good tattoo, yeah
All my life, all I got is this one heart to give
And all my life, all this time
I've been searching for this
Oh and it looks like I found it
Yeah, I finally found it
Girl, it's you-oo-oo-oo
Your name, your name
Sounds so good next to mine
And I think, I think
I'm gonna put it in all my rhymes, yeah
'Cause with you, I'm gonna do quite
A few things that I never thought I would do
Your name, your name, your name
Would be a good tattoo, yeah
Would be a good tattoo
Only you, baby
Only you, now
Only you, now
