I started journaling on a trip by myself to my \u2019future better half\u2019 and became immediately aware of how important this message was to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it had to be a happy message, one of encouragement about the uncertainty of the future because that\u2019s exactly how Hayes was approaching his romantic journey in real life.<\/p>\n<p>And how he wanted to approach this music video, directed by Collin H. Duffy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/embed\/mgid:arc:video:cmt.com:10e279ba-b36b-445b-8501-d6afdb2ed23b\">media.mtvnservices.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe filmed everything in Los Angeles for this one over about two days,\u201d Hayes said. \u201cI\u2019m confident I ran a marathon in those two days with all of the running shots I did. I couldn\u2019t walk for a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember explaining my love life to Collin not as a series of relationships, but somewhat \u2019Groundhog Day\u2019 but with a positive attitude. A sort of a get knocked down, get back up and keep going thing. I told him that optimism was one of the key elements. He told the story in such a brilliant way. I hope it gives people pure joy, happiness, and humor watching me spill coffee all over myself so many times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And hope for their own futures. Speaking of hope, if you were wishing for a new Hayes record, you should absolutely be optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is track three of a full-length project that isn\u2019t out yet and at the moment that\u2019s all that I can tell you\u2026\u201d he teased.<\/p>\n<p>We do know, however, that a tour is on the way.
