Hope has a way of making us feel timeless, and Hunter Hayes captures
this feeling beautifully in his new single, "Wait." This song is the
second track from his upcoming album, "Evergreen," and it's one of the
most personal songs he has ever written.
"Wait" is a song that
Hayes could not have written a single note of had he not been through so
many negative experiences. He teamed up with John Mark Nelson and
Steven Solomon to write the song, and Alex Flagstad helped produce it.
"Wait" explores the feeling of being in a situation where you desire
something but must hold on and be patient for it to happen. Hayes
reveals that he wrote this song during a time when he was struggling to
get someone to see him as more than just a friend, a situation many can
relate to.
The essence of patience is what drives the song.
"Wait" is a sweet blend of pop sounds with a touch of storytelling that
feels vivid and dreamlike. With his warm voice, Hayes sings a heartfelt
plea for someone to recognize his feelings, creating a moment of hope
that resonates deeply. The music builds gradually, reflecting the
journey from wanting to accepting the situation as it is. The music
video, produced by Good Game Productions, perfectly complements the
song. It offers a calm and thoughtful portrayal that aligns with the
song's themes, emphasizing that sometimes the most powerful emotions are
felt in quiet moments rather than loud ones.
