When Hunter Hayes sat down to write “Wanted” he only had one person in mind.
“‘Wanted’ is very much a love letter. It was written basically to tell a girl how I felt about her,” Hunter said. “It didn’t actually work but I’m okay with that. I got my single, I got my song and I’m okay with that.”
What he didn’t know was the song would become his first No. 1 hit as well be covered by a contestant on The Voice. On it’s way to becoming a crossover hit, not unlike Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, Hunter is being embraced beyond country music.
“I went on to write this song and I was definitely just desperately trying to get the point across to this girl,” he said. “Those are the songs that really write themselves very quickly. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time over-thinking this one.”
