Elise Hayes is no stranger to industry. The Nashville-based singer and songwriter is known for not only penning songs featured on numerous TV shows, such as ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy”, Freeform’s “The Bold Type”, MTV’s “Siesta Key,” but also as being one of Carly Pearce‘s backing vocalists on tour with Blake Shelton. She’s now stepping to the front of the spotlight with the release of her song “Float,” and it’s something you definitely need to listen to.
Exclusively running on Celeb Secrets before its big debut tomorrow, the pure infectious pop track is all about following your intuition. “Writing this song helped me find the courage to make some difficult decisions and listen to myself,” Hayes tells Celeb Secrets. “I’m hopeful it can do this for others and let them dance a little bit throughout the process too.”

During this past year on the road, Elise felt inspired to find her way back to her own music and career as an artist. “I think I had been in Nashville too long, churning it out behind the scenes in the industry,” she says, “Having the opportunity to get out into the world and see how powerful music is and how it can bring people together in such a moving way made me fall back in love with performing. It lit me up again.”
With that realization fresh in her mind, Elise decided to step away from her role in Pearce’s band in late spring of 2018. “I felt this really strong instinct to follow my own dreams and songs, and I wanted to be true to that and act on it.” “Float” documents that honest journey back to herself, all the while making you want to dance and turn the music up loud on your speakers.
“I recorded this song in my home studio with some of my closest friends in Nashville. They are like family. Having collaborated on “Float” with such important people in my life really deepens the meaning of the song for me,” she continued.

“Float” comes out tonight at midnight, EST.
