Walker Hayes is back with his first new song of 2021. It s called I Hope You Miss Me, and the summery anthem is sure to put a smile on your face with its poppy atmosphere and nostalgic narrative.
The tune was co-written by Hayes with Shane McAnally, Sam Summer, Nick Ruth and Sean Smalls; it was produced by McAnally, Hayes and Nash Overstreet. But despite the robust list of collaborators, I Hope You Miss Me is quite intimate for the singer. I m always reminded when I release songs how personal I m allowed to be, Hayes explains of the song s meaning. To me, the sounds of this song and the lyrics emotionally embody something my daughter, Loxley, told me one time when she was 4 years old Daddy, you can hold me, but you can t hold me forever. That s what I hope I Hope You Miss Me feels like [for listeners].
