Hunter Hayes

Hunter Hayes released his new single, "The One That Got Away," off his forthcoming album, "Red Sky (Part II)," today (1/14). He debuted the single during a performance on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America." Watch the music video, shot in Los Angeles, here. "Red Sky" serves as the follow-up to "Wild Blue," the second installment in Hayes' musical trilogy about personal transformation. 

"I wrote ‘The One That Got Away’ after having a certain chapter in my life end abruptly," said Hayes. "At first, I saw that change as a bad thing, even though I’d played a part in the ending. The song came from realizing that certain things I was holding onto so tightly were slowly destroying me, and from feeling weightless and free once I finally let go. I wanted to write something that people could get a speeding ticket to and feel so lucky that they’ve gotten away from whatever wasn’t good for them—whether that be a town or a job or a relationship or whatever else."
