"I heard you were a fan of my music so I wanted to make a video for you," the global music sensation added in the visuals.

He expressed his gratitude for the young fan’s love, saying, "Thank you for being a great fan and lots of love.”

Hunter reacted to the lovely tribute, "It was quite surreal."
