(The Syndicate) Hunter Hayes released "Victory" and "About a Boy" today, from his upcoming album Red Sky, due April 21.
In discussing the upbeat and moving "Victory," Hayes said, "'Victory' is the final song on the 'Red Sky' track listing because it's an appreciation for all the parts of your past that made you who you are today. It is a celebration of growth. This song sums up 'Red Sky' as a chapter and makes a commitment to move forward with a new outlook." Watch the lyric video below.
In discussing "About a Boy," he added, "'About a Boy' is about the challenge of accepting mistakes and confronting regret, while also acknowledging what you could've done better. It's written from several different perspectives and goes from recognizing that someone deserves better, to offering apologies for what you wish you could change," - Stream via DSPs here.
