Fox News
Country music's Hunter Hayes reflects on how his years in the spotlight affected his mental health, how he addresses those struggles in his new album, and his self-care today.
"I've definitely had my moments of anxiety," Hayes told Fox News Digital. "I think the biggest place that I wanted to grow in and the biggest thing that I wanted to be open about on this project is this just sense of self." Cortney O'Brien is an Editor at Fox News. Twitter: @obrienc2
The musician said that while he was hesitant to release his latest project, his fans have encouraged him to "keep doing things that scare you." Several, he acknowledged, have reached out to him on a specific track entitled "Victory," which serves as a personal exploration of his struggles.
