Hayley Kiyoko Alcroft is an actor and a musician, active since 1998 when she started doing commercials as a kid. Since then she's moved on and been in movies and TV shows, which is where I first know her from. In 2007 she was asked to join a girl group called the Stunners. They had a couple record deals and a couple of singles with plans to release a full album, but the group broke up in 2011 before they could do so. She decided to focus on her own music instead, and released her first EP in 2013. Her second EP, written with James Flannigan was released in 2015, followed by another EP the next year. This song is off of Hayley's debut album, released in 2018, followed by her supporting Panic at the Disco on their tour. She released singles throughout 2019, culminating in her fourth EP that was completed in 2020. If you listen to her discography, and even just this song, you can see that much of it focuses on LGBT relationships. It's because Hayley herself is a lesbian, and is trying to help normalize that so people don't have to struggle with it the way she did growing up, which I find commendable. She also does dancing, and a reason I love this song so much and wanted to feature it was because of her work with Anze Scrube, a choreographer who I've also mentioned before. In this video you can also see how quirky Hayley is which makes me like her that much more. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Peace.
