Words in My Mouth
"Before meeting my husband, I had a hard time authentically writing love lyrics." Verhaalen said. "I had always resonated more with the sad or sassy songs I'd write. Once I met him, I was able to dig to the actual bottom of my heart and write some very true to my story love lyrics. I feel like that shines through in this song."
Hailey released "Words in My Mouth" the day before her wedding as a tribute to her now husband.

Sunday Morning Love You
"Sunday Morning Love You," released September 2020 speaks to the heart about a kind of love we all want to have. “ ‘Sunday Morning Love You’ is a feel-good song about a love that is more than just a Saturday night. A Sunday morning love is that person you trust with your heart, can be silly around, and feel 100% comfortable with,” says Verhaalen. “After being known for writing mainly funny, rowdy, and heartbreak songs, I am excited to finally be able to show my softer side by releasing my very first love song!”

Someday When This is Over
“Someday When This is Over,” released in May 2020, shows off Hailey's sentimental side – which she said would be a trend with her next several singles. “The scary times we’re living in have been weighing on us all, and I had finally gotten to my breaking point emotionally - in moments like that, I always turn to music to heal. I wanted to remind everyone, including myself, that we WILL get through this together, and we have to stay strong for those around us, especially the younger generations.”

Single and Ready to Jingle EP
Hailey's first Christmas release was 2-pack "Single and Ready to Jingle". It was released in December 2018 and included the classic "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", and her first original Christmas song "Single and Ready To Jingle"- which was another humorous tune Hailey came up with on her bedroom floor. " I had always wanted to release a Christmas song, and I immediately fell in love with it the second I wrote it! Santa sure delivered that year; I met my fiancé the month after this release in January 2019!"

Christmas in My Mind
"Christmas in My Mind" is Hailey's second original Christmas song out on streaming platforms. "The inspiration for this song came on the day I had to make the hard call not to go home for Christmas due to the pandemic. 2020 was the first year of my life I wouldn't be able to spend Christmas with family, and it made me very emotional. Like any other memorable emotion, I wanted to capture it in a song so I could put language to how I was feeling and also have something to remember it by when looking back on that tough year! It is a bitter sweet song that I hope people can feel whatever it is they need to about the holiday season through listening to it"

How I Make a Livin'
Hailey's September 2021 "feel good" single "How I Make a Livin' " speaks to Hailey's belief that money can't buy happiness, but making memories can. "I love a good feel good song, and this one made me so happy to write, and it makes me so happy to listen to! I can only hope my listeners can relate to the belief that as long as we are gifted another day each morning, we might as well make it worth remembering - especially if it means appreciating and enjoying the little things a little more than yesterday!"
