“I wanted to tell the story of my parents’ divorce and that part of my life and the confusion -- and the fact that it wasn’t easy for a while … It was a massive hit not only to me but my whole family,” Ray said.

The video also explores the heartaches in two other relationships and culminates with all three stories intersecting at the end.

In his real life, however, Ray’s own romantic life is far from heartbreak. Ray tied the knot with fellow country singer Carly Pearce last week.
