Background

It was written by band members Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, along with production team Stargate, Autumn Rowe and collaborator Claude Kelly. The song began playing on mainstream radio stations July 31, 2012.[2] Hello was the group's second song to top the Hot Dance Club Songs chart after Brokenhearted.
