American Idol champion Laine Hardy will appear on Monday’s episode of “The Bachelorette” on ABC. But he’s looking to win ears, not hearts.

The 20-year-old Livingston, La., native will perform his latest song, “Memorize You,” as part of a date planned for Katie Thurston, this season’s Bachelorette, and a lucky suitor.

Hardy will hit the road to serenade his fans with the tune in person soon as well. He’ll launch a new tour on July 22.
