Background and release

Kate moved to New York to pursue a career in music. She had gotten a job there, but was fired because she was spending "so much time" working on her music. [1] Her 2020 single "Fuck Up the Friendship" was noticed by American entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian on Indify, a startup which helps promote independent artists, who then helped Kate get in touch with digital marketing company Creed Media. The aforementioned company promoted the song on the online video platform TikTok where it went viral, and later on the social networking service Instagram. [2] In 2021, she released her debut album titled What Just Happened?. [3]

Kate wrote "10 Things I Hate About You" with Mike Wise and Madi Yanofski, while Wise also produced it. [4] The track was written in 2022.

Composition and reception

"10 Things I Hate About You" is a pop-punk song. [1] [3] Although the song shares the same name as a 1999 film, Kate revealed in an interview with iHeartRadio that the movie did not serve as the inspiration for it. [9] She was trying to move on from a past relationship which resulted in her making a list of things she disliked about the ex-boyfriend from that relationship. Kate told Rolling Stone that the list contained 50 reasons "why [she] shouldn't miss him and why [she] should hate him" and that "it very quickly turned into a song". [1]

Rachel Brodsky of Stereogum called it a "punchy fuck-you anthem" and compared it to the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Gayle. [3] It went viral on TikTok and was used in over 580,000 videos as of June 24, 2022. [9] [10] Commercially, "10 Things I Hate About You" reached the top 30 in Australia and the United Kingdom. [11] [12] In the United States, it peaked at numbers two and 20 on Billboard 's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and Mainstream Top 40 charts, respectively. [13] [14]

Music video

A visualizer for the song was released on March 25, 2022, on Kate's YouTube channel. [15] The official music video premiered on June 1 and was directed by Jason Lester. [1] [16] In the visual, Kate is giving a press conference, and throughout the video, interspersed shots show her being "surrounded by a gang of girls." [1] As of June 2024, the music video has amassed over 1.6 million views while the visualizer has over 8 million views.
