Let's hear it for Hayley Payne!!!

Seven months ago I found out the person I had spent the last year of my life with was someone I actually didn’t know at all. After finding out he had cheated on me, in one instant the man I once loved was dead to me. I not only had to mourn the future I thought we had together but also the good person I thought he was. The very next day I wrote down the idea “here lies the man I thought you were” in my notes app and brought it to my write with Maddie Lenhart and Laura Pearson two days later. I felt this song in my bones and it is truly a piece of my heart that I’m ready to share with you all now.

This is only the beginning of the story. “The Man I Thought You Were” is OUT NOW 🪦
