Words TRISTEN JITHAN
After a triumphant return last month with the beautifully tender piano ballad "Rearview Mirror", Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter Greyson Chance has blessed fans with his second single of the year, "Haymaker". This latest track brims with vitality and emotive vocals, elegantly blending traditional country influences with an energetic folk twang.
Chance is known for his talent in crafting metaphors and engaging lyrical narratives, and "Haymaker" continues his track record as a seasoned, mature songwriter.
Embracing his vibrant Oklahoma-inspired roots, he reclaims control of his narrative with production featuring twangy guitar strings and subtle, driving percussion.Chance’s expansive vocal range delivers palpable punchlines, weaving an emotive and introspective story in this monumental addition to his discography.
Speaking on the familial influences and inspirations for the track, Greyson shares, “Things got physical between my brother and I. ‘Haymaker’ is a song influenced by a punch, but it’s a lot more than that. I haven’t really spoken to him in three years. Family is everything, until there’s nothing left. That’s what this song is about”.
