SZA is the undisputed Queen of effortless bops, and she cemented that assertion on I Hate You, her latest RnB earworm.
After enjoying quite the successful year and run last year with Billboard top ten hits like Good Days and Doja Cat’s Kiss Me More, she released the song, among two others-Joni and Nightbird-on Soundcloud. Unbeknownst to her was that I Hate You would shortly be a hit with the TikTokers. The song began going viral, which prompted SZA to issue it as an official release and single.
I Hate You is the quintessential breakup song, which, backed by a dark, ethereal instrumental against SZA’s vocals, details a love gone wrong and resentment towards an ex. The ethereal RnB anthem will instantly evoke all your feels with its ethereal, deep lyrics that see SZA boldy call out her exlover on what could have been, you know, that kind of stuff.
…and if you wonder if I hate you, I do. And if wonder if I hate you, f**k you..so goes the most catchy line.
The song debuted at #1 on Spotify and Apple Music and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
