Through his email subscriptions, Hunter Hayes said of the track: “I am so thrilled for ‘You Should Be Loved’ to be the next song out. From the writing to the studio time to having The Shadowboxers on this song, it’s been such a pure process and labor of love for the lyric and musical side. I’m excited to have a little bit of the music I grew up around in Louisiana represented on this track and I’m so excited about having worked with my good buddy Sam Ellis on this. I hope you guys dig it!”
The song sees the young country star, Hunter Hayes, teaming up with the soulful five-piece pop group, The Shadowboxers. As a collaborative single it pushes Hunter Hayes into a more musical-mainstream genre. His recent releases have proven how much he has grown over the past few years.

Hunter Hayes has always impressed us with his amazing talent of flooding songs with emotion. “Wanted” is so unforgettable in every way because the song is so full of meaning. Yet again, he has gifted us with a full-on passionate song, one we can’t get out of our heads.
Collaborating with The Shadowboxers certainly expands his audience, allowing to see how versatile Hunter Hayes can be; managing to dip into a much more soulful side. It’s certainly a sweet song, one we wish Hunter Hayes or any of The Shadowboxers were actually singing to us, we can dream though. So honest, truthful, and uplifting to every single listener.
