CMT News  OFFSTAGE: It's Hunter Hayes' Turn to Write Songs About
Exes Hunter Hayes Hunter Hayes  Hunter Hayes is cool with taking
chances. That's why his song "Somebody's Heartbreak" is so
fitting. The story behind the song sounds like a pretty familiar
one: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy writes a song about
girl. Hayes described the whole story behind the song in People
magazine's special country issue. "I knew it wasn't going to
work because she wasn't into the relationship thing, but I
wanted to try anyway," Hayes said. "The song was an attempt to
say, 'Let's see how it goes. I know I'll probably get bummed
out, but I will take any time with you.'" He admits the real-
life heartbreak wasn't nearly as bad as he made it out to be in
the song. And he also says he just wanted to write it and maybe
not ever play it for her. But eventually, he did. "She knows the
song is about her, and I give her a hard time, but we laugh
about it now," he said. CMT - Get country.
