Radio.com sat down with Hayes in L.A. at the GRAMMY Museum during GRAMMY weekend to discuss the song's touching inspiration and how he came to debut it in such a prestigious setting.

"'Invisible' is a totally new concept for me," Hayes explained. "I always write about something pretty personal, [but] this sets a new standard for me. I didn't go in to write this song necessarily, I went in to write something else.

"[Songwriters] Bonnie Baker, Katrina Elam and I ended up writing about how we all, in different ways, can relate to the message of being an outcast, being misunderstood, being� essentially bullied. I say that very carefully because I know there's a lot of people who go through that on a much larger scale. In whatever way I can relate to it, the song is about that.

"It's about disappearing among the crowd, not having a place to fit in, being different you know? Being a music geek in high school, middle school, [and] now, I've just now gotten comfortable with the fact that I can call myself a geek and be proud of it."
