TikTok-approved Michigan singer-songwriter Hayden Hubers, better known as Hayd, returned yesterday—Valentine’s Day—with “All of the Stars,” a gloomy piano-pop song about that feeling you get when you realize a relationship just isn’t meant to be. Most everyone has been there, which might explain why the song debuted inside the Top 40 of the Genius Top Songs chart. (Hayd Laments a Doomed Relationship on New Song “All of the Stars,” n.d.)
