Singer-songwriter Christian Hayes shares heartfelt new single “Something To Lose,” out now via Capitol Records.
Emerging Georgia-bred artist Christian Hayes continues to carve a lane for himself with his deeply resonant songwriting, returning this week with his powerful new single, “Something To Lose.” Released via Capitol Records, the track balances heartfelt storytelling with anthemic folk-pop production that cements Hayes as one of 2025’s rising voices in the genre.
Co-written with Eric Arjes and Nick Atkinson, the track reflects on Hayes’ personal journey of purpose and self-discovery, painting a vivid picture of emotional reckoning. “It’s about finally finding something that means so much that losing it would really hurt,” says Hayes. “I wanted to keep the lyrics open-ended so people can insert their own stories.”
The track’s arrangement, a dynamic mix of acoustic strumming, electric guitars, banjo, and driving percussion, lifts the message to soaring heights. As Hayes sings, “I got something to hold onto / And that’s something to lose,” the song achieves both catharsis and celebration.
Produced by Arjes, the track follows the emotional weight of Hayes’ prior release, “Through It All,” and marks another milestone since signing to Capitol Records last fall. With a string of live dates on the horizon, including a slot at CMA Fest, Hayes’ momentum only continues to grow.
For fans of confessional songwriting with a big emotional core, “Something To Lose” is streaming everywhere now.
