The story behind the song

"Ho Hey" was born from the Lumineers' desire to engage audiences during their early shows in Brooklyn. The band's founding members, Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, intentionally crafted the song with shouts to capture the attention of indifferent concert-goers. This track became the lead single from their self-titled debut studio album, released in 2012.
