Hunter Hayes and Jason Mraz collaborated together on a new single called “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me”.  And they’re promoting it with a YouTube video, where they pulled together a bunch of artists who are basically ONLY known on YouTube, and did a new version of the song.  So it’s like a big mash-up of a bunch of different covers of the song, in all different styles.
