This acoustic-tinged ballad has an unusual twist as when the girl leaves her man, instead of moping, the man feels great. It's a huge contrast from the '70s hit "Without You," where the singer has a hard time adjusting to his heart being ripped out.
Hinder's "Without You" was written by band members Cody Hanson (drums) and Austin Winkler (vocals) along with their producer Brian Howes. Hanson told us that most of their songs that click are the ones inspired by real life events, as was the case with their big hit "Lips Of An Angel." Said Hanson: "Those songs that are real personal experiences that other people can relate to, those seem to be the ones that go."
The video has some star power: the couple are portrayed by Kellan Lutz of Twilight and Aimee Teegarden of Friday Night Lights. In the clip, it is the girl who is expressing the thoughts of the song, as Teegarden plays the wholesome, intelligent girl who is caught up with a troublesome boyfriend. When she leaves him behind, she graduates and looks forward to a bright future.
