Moody pop song featuring a groovy bass and strong chordal synths. "hate me." is about losing faith in love. It's about going into a new relationship with someone but knowing that it's not always gonna be sunshine and rainbows. Being hurt in past relationships has you feeling like it's inevitable that one day you both will lose the love you once had and not be able to stand each other anymore. This is an "in your feelings" kind of song.
