"Hello" is a song recorded by Canadian

Universal Music Canada as the album's second official single.[1]

"Hello" placed in the top 10 on multiple adult and pop radio formats, including a career-high peak of two on the

Billboard Canada Hot AC airplay chart. The song peaked at 20 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100
, the group's only top-20 single from Hello to date.

Background

After the release of 2013's Wild Life, which produced four consecutive top-40 singles, Hedley returned to the studio to record new music in 2014. They had been writing for nine months when they came up with the idea for "Hello", and "all of a sudden we thought, 'Oh man, we've got to share this," Hoggard said in an interview with CBC.[2] They credit the song with inspiring the feel of the album.[2]

On September 8, 2015, Hello was made available for pre-order and "Lost in Translation" was released as the lead single.[3][4] The song performed poorly, becoming the group's first promoted single to not enter the Canadian Hot 100 since the chart's 2007 inception, and stalled in the mid-30s on the pop charts. A month later, on October 9, 2016, the band ceased promotion of "Lost in Translation" and released "Hello" as the second single.[1]

Commercial reception

"Hello" debuted at number 46 on the

Canada CHR/Top 40 airplay charts.[10][11]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Hello" was co-directed by Jacob Hoggard and Matt Leaf, and premiered October 28, 2016 through

MTV Canada.[12] It features a love story between two elementary school kids and also contains shots of the band performing inside a school gymnasium.[12]

Live performances

"Hello" served as the set opener for Hedley's 2016 Hello World Tour.[13]
