Hunter Hayes Confirms His Breakup with Libby Barnes & Opens Up About How Music Helped Him Through It

We weren’t 100% positive that Hunter Hayes and Libby Barnes split, the singer confirmed it during an interview with People.

The 26-year-old musician and Libby had been dating for several years before their break up. He even wrote a song or two for her.

While promoting his new music, Hunter says that you can hear how his music helped him through the split.

“I had a lot to go through, and you do hear it through every step of the album,” he says. “The good, the bad, the denial…all of it, and even the after, the moving on.”

He also opened up about how he’s always looking for his life partner.

“I’m pathetically always looking for my life partner,” Hunter shared. “…I’m less knowing of what the h*** I’m doing, and what I’m looking for, or who I’m looking for, and how I can be good for somebody and more aware of the fact that I’m completely clueless.”

You can stream Hunter‘s two new songs “Dear God”, and “One Shot” on JJJ now.

Hunter adds, “Musically, there’s some stuff we’ve tried that we’ve never tried before.”

Hunter Hayes Debuts Electrifying 'Dear God' Music Video - Watch Now!

Hunter Hayes has dropped the official music video for his honest new song, “Dear God”.

The track, co-written with Andy Grammer and Dave Spencer, started as a letter Hunter had written on a plane.

“I had written a letter on the plane that was at first ‘Dear World’ before I realized I was actually writing to God,” he explains. “…When Andy took the series of questions we were making for the chorus and turned the last one into ‘are you sure that you don’t mess up,’ it hit me really hard.”

“I ask that all the time and I don’t think I’m not the only one,” Hunter adds. “It’s a valid question and one I truly believe you don’t ask unless you already know that answer because the opposite would be entirely too scary to live with.”

Hunter continues that the tracks “description of the nights when I question my world couldn’t be more vulnerable. We all face the question of being good enough for the world around us and sometimes we just need a reminder that we are.”

You can pick up the song NOW on iTunes.

Hunter Hayes Says He Can't Compare His New Album To Anything Else

Hunter Hayes Says He Can't Compare His New Album To Anything Else

Hunter Hayes doesn’t have a drop date for his new album yet, but he can tell you some things.

Speaking with Taste of Country, the 26-year-old musician revealed that he hopes “it would be at least as emotional as the debut record” and that he “can’t compare this record to anything else.”

We’re intrigued…

“I’ve never done anything like this,” Hunter adds. “I’ve never written anything like the stuff on this album and there’s topics that I’ve never covered before that I’ve been afraid to cover. Musically, there’s some stuff we’ve tried that we’ve never tried before.”

Hunter continues, saying that the music will be something he and his fans will be able to have a conversation about.

“I’ve learned that when I do crack the surface and break through the ice and show people the scars and the things underneath, we have a lot more to talk about together,” he shares. “Those moments are beautiful too — the hard times in life and the good times. Really letting people in is always a better conversation.”

“The fans taught me that lesson. If anything, I’m trying to listen to what they’ve taught me and work with the faith that they’ve put in my hands.”
