Don’t mess with Hilary! Toronto-based pop/rock singer and songwriter Hilary Weaver is playing no games when it comes to her music. Hilary released her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Heart Breakout’ in June 2012 and quickly amassed a large fan following online. Since then, she has met with several well-known producers across the U.S. and Canada to work on new music and hone in on her sound.

Hilary has just released her new single, “Head Games”, a song she worked on with producer Brian Howes in Los Angeles. The song is a powerful anthem about loving a guy who is playing with your head and your heart like some kind of game. “Head Games” is catchy and relatable and her fans have quickly responded with love for the track. Clearly, Hilary is the winner in this game!

I chatted with Hilary as she was gearing up to release “Head Games” to find out what she had to say about the single, her favourite singers and her Weavies.

Your new single “Head Games” is officially out! What is the song about and what inspired it?

“Head Games” is about a past personal relationship where I fell for someone. I thought the feelings were mutual, but in the end it turned out he still wanted to be with his girlfriend. This situation was an emotional rollercoaster for me for a while as I felt he was giving me hope and then taking it away over and over again – basically playing with my head and my heart like it was some kind of game!
