Mirroring his intimate reflection of personal growth and self-assurance…
Michael Isaak has released his new single, “hey boy.” This moving track serves as a love letter to his younger self, encapsulating the universal experience of growing up and finding one’s path. “hey boy” is the final single to be released ahead of his forthcoming debut EP, Forever is a Scary Word.
Inspired by a reflective moment looking back at his childhood bed, “hey boy” is a poignant composition, a song about sending good wishes to the younger versions of oneself. “I wonder if I can channel that young person in his sophomore year of Catholic school and tell him it’ll all be okay,” Isaak muses. The song embodies the message that everything, in the end, works out, and the challenges of the past pave the way for the strength of the future.

With gentle acoustic melodies and earnest lyrics, “hey boy” is a tender reminder that, while we cannot speak to our past selves, we can honor them through understanding and love. “There’s so much I would say to my younger self, and I wish I could, but I’m also quite confident he’ll be able to figure it all out on his own. ‘Hey boy, I love you…'” Isaak reflects.
The song is a touching ode to personal growth, resilience, and the enduring power of self-love.
As listeners embark on this musical journey with Isaak, they are invited to extend compassion to their past selves and recognize the strength that comes from overcoming life’s challenges. “hey boy” was produced by Owen Korzec and Michael Isaak, and features instrumentals from guitarist Declan Fine.
