Wanna Be Loved: Behind the Song with Red Clay Strays at Long Road Festival

Hey, this is Red Clay Strays. We’re here at Long Road Festival, and this is behind the song with Holler. And the song you wanted to hear talk about talked about was, uh, Wanna Be Loved. Um, so I have two little brothers. Uh, one little brother, Matthew, he writes a good bit of our songs. And then my littlest brother, Dakota, is the one who actually wrote Wanna Be Loved. And, uh, we were actually on our way to a show, uh, in mobile. We were headed to Daphne, I think, to play Macy’s. And, uh, Matthew had sent it. Um, Dakota had written the song, and then Matthew had touched it up and wrote a couple extra lines, and, I think Dakota was going through a breakup at the time, and that’s what LED him to write it. And, you know, it’s just a very relatable song, because I think everybody on earth wants to be loved by somebody, you know? And I think that’s why it’s doing so well. I think that’s the most popular song on the album, and I think that’s why it’s doing so well.
