'So we told the 49ers, 'Anything you guys can do, it would be amazing to be part of it.' They came back and offered not only play for us to play 'Hail Mary' at halftime on 'Monday Night Football' against the Browns, but Rob had also the idea to direct the music video.' 'We finally are with Sony ATV (on the new label Hickory Records/RED Music) in a record deal and getting our first real shot at radio,' Michael says. Now, as they try to make their way in a business as competitive as the NFL - recently opening for megastar Jason Aldean was a major step - Haley & Michaels are getting support from the team they've supported most of their lives. So the duo had a natural connection before they hooked up in music - and in life. To Michaels, the way the team reacted in defeat was as impressive as how they celebrated all those Super Bowls. He was most struck by the 'class' the Niners showed under Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh and his two Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Montana and Steve Young.

Michaels was raised in Palo Alto, and was a standout in soccer who even played in an international tournament. She even went to elementary school with one of Joe Montana's daughters. She would spend weekends with her father 'watching football all day,' then re-watch the games. Haley grew up in Los Altos, California, and though her mother's side of the family rooted for the Packers, her dad was all 49ers. Nowhere would be more fitting for the couple than Levi's Stadium. 'Anytime you can turn a world-class venue into a stage while a band like Haley & Michaels puts on a show, the final piece is amazing and that's exactly what happened.' 'Working on high-level productions like the shoot that occurred at Levi's Stadium is something our production team looks forward to,' he says. Niners vice president Rob Alberino reached out and wound up not only directing and producing the video, but inviting Haley & Michaels to perform at halftime of the Monday night game with Cleveland on Oct. 'We had this insane idea and dream that if we get in touch with the 49ers, they will be open to listen to us.' 'We wrote it about the time we were struggling in the music business and in our lives, and felt like, being huge football fans, we were at the point of the game when you threw a Hail Mary,' Haley says.
