“I truly think the music in this business that we share is far as secondary towards the relationship Shane and I have been able to have while making music and working together,” revealed Hayes during an exclusive interview with Music Mayhem. Writing the transparent track was not the only help Hayes received from McAnally, as their friendship goes far beyond music. It’s not easy all the time, but my wife smiles a lot, and my kids are growing up with more than I had, and that’s a really good thing.” I’m just trying to be the best dad and husband I can be. I think a lot of people can relate to that. I’ve struggled with alcohol abuse, and sometimes I wish I didn’t need AA, but I do. “And what I really mean to say with this song is just that I’m trying to stay the course. “At the end of the day, we are all just doing the best we can,” says the hitmaker in a statement.

Off the heels of the sensational hit, “Fancy Like,” Hayes and McAnally joined forces to release “ AA,” a moving melody that touches upon sobriety. Together they have experienced the difficult road to recovery, and now they are vocalizing their journey to help aid others who might be stuck in the dark place they know all too well. After conquering his fight against alcoholism, Hayes channeled his energy into helping three-time Grammy winner and famed Nashville songwriter, Shane McAnally who was striving to reach sobriety.

Throughout the years, viral hitmaker Walker Hayes has learned to utilize his weakness as a strength.
