Now he's back with "I Want Crazy," a song he debuted this weekend at the Academy of Country Music Awards. On the track, Hayes sings, "I don't want good and I don't want good enough/I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love . . . I don't want easy, I want crazy."

Radio.com sat down with Hayes to discuss his songwriting process and whether he ever holds back on revealing too much for fear the person he's writing about will find out.
