Hunter Hayes Drops New Single & Will Hit the Road for “Closer to You” Tour

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | March 25, 2019

Hunter Hayes shipped a new single, “Heartbreak,” to country radio on March 25.

“Heartbreak” marks Hunter’s first single since 2016’s “Yesterday’s Song.” The new tune is the lead single from Hunter’s upcoming third studio album, which is expected later this year.

“It’s a song about freedom,” says Hunter. “It’s a song about true honest happiness and love and how there is love for everyone. Not only are you worthy of being loved but there is somebody out there who loves you even though they haven’t met you. In the darkness of a heart breaking, I’m here to tell you there’s also a whole lotta light.”

Listen to “Heartbreak” below.

In addition, Hunter will embark on his 20-date Closer to You Tour in April, with stops in Atlanta, Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver, L.A. and more. Tickets are on sale now.
