The album features a mixture of Hayes’ favorite songs from his 8Tracks Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 release, as well as a few brand new songs, but don’t expect to look at the track list and find a song that shares the album’s title.

“’boom!’ It’s my favorite word. It’s what I text my team every time another station adds ‘You Broke Up With Me’… It’s the first thing I say after I play a song from the album for anyone,” says Hayes. “So, it’s what we had to call the album. I’m just so excited to share another part of the story. BOOM!”

To kick off the countdown to the album, Hayes is releasing “Beautiful” as the first if four instant grat tracks to fans who preorder the album. Fans can also hear the song on SiriusXM’s The Highway.

boom. is now available for pre-order. Fans can catch Hayes out on the road with Thomas Rhett on the Home Team Tour beginning September 22. For tickets and more album information, visit Hayes’ website.
