If love is a fire, sometimes it glows brighter when it lingers. Folk-pop breakout Christian Hayes delivers that timeless truth on his radiant new single Good As It Gets, out now via Capitol Records. At just 26, Hayes carries a depth of wisdom far beyond his years both understated and achingly powerful. Pairing gilded guitar tones and tender banjo lines with an open-hearted meditation on love’s patient pursuit, the track captures the quiet magic of savoring a moment before it slips away. Hayes admits:

I’ve always wanted to rush love — never been the type for a slow burn. This song is about letting love take its time… enjoying the pursuit, falling in love the right way. 

That philosophy flows through the song’s sweeping chorus, where he offers a heartfelt refrain. From the afterglow of a perfect first date to the vulnerable intensity of its bridge, Hayes transforms fleeting detail into universal resonance. With production by Brett Truitt, the result is a soul-stirring reminder that the best stories are written in time’s unhurried rhythm. Building on the success of his viral hit LILY and the harmony-fueled collaboration Something To Lose with Corey Harper, Hayes continues to redefine and amplify folk-pop. Stream “Good As It Gets” now and watch the official video to experience the slow-burn beauty for yourself. Be sure to follow Christian Hayes on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube.
