A music video for the song was released on October 28, 2015. The video features a bunch of overprotective fathers who banded together to kidnap a boy who Daya goes on dates with. Daya is confused to why her date disappears one day at the bowling alley, until she comes home from a pool party arranged by her friends to get her mind off her date, she sees her date run out of her house followed by Daya's father running behind him. Daya scolds her father for kidnapping him
Grace Tandon is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is of Indian, German, and Irish descent, and her stage moniker 'Daya' (pronounced Day-uh), is the Hindi translation of her name, Grace. Daya started playing piano at the age of 3 and when she was 11 she enrolled as a student at the Accelerando Music Conservatory, Pittsburgh. During a visit to the school, songwriter and producer Gino Barletta [JoJo, Miranda Cosgrove, Jessica Mauboy] heard her sing and instantly took an interest in the young songstress. In February 2015, Barletta formally invited Daya to work with him at Paramount Recording Studios in Los Angeles. It was during one of these writing sessions that this atmospheric pop-dance song was written and recorded. It was released as her debut single on April 22, 2015. The song poses the question, "Where do the good boys go to hide away?" "To me, 'Hide Away' is about waiting for that someone who will love and appreciate you for exactly who you are," Daya said. "As a 16-year-old, I'm still figuring out who I am and what it is that I want. I'm not in any rush to settle." This is not to be confused with Kiesza's 2014 single "Hideaway." When this debuted at #97 Hot 100, it not only signalled Daya' s arrival on the chart but it was also the first ever entry for her independent label Artbeatz. The song had a second lease of life in 2024 thanks to a viral three-person dance trend on TikTok where each of the first three lines of the chorus gets its own set of moves from one of the three dancers.
Boys seem to like the girls who laugh at anything The ones who get undressed before the second date Girls seem to like the boys who don't appreciate All the money and the time that it takes To be fly as a mother Got my both eyes out for Mr. Right Guessing now I just don't know where to find 'em But I hope they all come out tonight Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? I'm a good, good girl who needs a little company Looking high and low, someone let me know Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? Boys seem to like the girls who like to kiss and tell Talking them up about the things they do so well But I'd rather find a boy who is down for the chase Putting in the time that it takes To be fly as a mother To supply all of my heart's demands Suit and tie, 'cause undercover He's gonna save my life like Superman Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? I'm a good, good girl who needs a little company Looking high and low, someone let me know Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? Tell me where the good boys go Tell me where the good boys go Tell me where the good boys go Will somebody tell me, tell me? Tell me where the good boys go Tell me where the good boys go Tell me where the good boys go Tell me where the good boys go Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? I'm a good, good girl who needs a little company Looking high and low, someone let me know Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? Hide away, hide away Hide away, hide away Looking high and low, someone let me know Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away?
