Detroit Gospel artist Ellen Hayes delivers a deeply personal message of faith and perseverance with her new single, “Behind My Eyes,” the title track from her upcoming project. Drawing from one of the most challenging seasons of her life, the song explores suffering, obedience, perseverance, and the unseen work of God.
Written during a period of intense stress and difficult decisions, “Behind My Eyes” reflects the emotions and experiences that can remain hidden beneath the surface. For Hayes, the song became a personal testimony of how God carried her through adversity and strengthened her mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Born and raised in Detroit, Hayes grew up surrounded by music and discovered her passion for the piano at an early age. She later became a vocalist, songwriter, composer, producer, and minister of music.
Her musical journey includes choir direction, gospel recordings, and charting releases such as “Another Chance,” which received Billboard and Media-base Gospel chart recognition.
With “Behind My Eyes,” Hayes transforms personal struggle into encouragement, reminding listeners that even when others cannot see the full story, God is always working behind the scenes.
