Contents

Background

"Hated" premiered via Revolver for streaming on May 19, 2016, [1] [2] before it was released for digital download the following day as the second single from Aggressive . [3] Speaking about the song's meaning, Caleb Shomo stated, "This song is about individuality and how so many people are so insecure that they just attack you for being yourself, even to the point of ignorance." [4]

Acoustic rock duo This Wild Life released a cover of the song on February 17, 2017, via Facebook. [5]

Composition

"Hated" was written and produced by Caleb Shomo. [6] The lyrical content of the song speaks about "self-deprecating indictments." [7] Musically, the track is described as hardcore punk and metalcore, predominantly featuring clean vocals from Shomo. [8]

Critical reception

Bradley Zorgdrager of Exclaim! stated, "For these teeth, apparently the hate is being directed at them for their slick metalcore, which walks the tightrope between aggression and pop punk better than any band since A Day to Remember. The song's breakdown shows the former side, with an off-kilter breakdown not far off from Stray from the Path." [9] Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman called the track a "solid tune." [10]

Chart performance

"Hated" debuted on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart at number 38 on the week of September 24, 2016. [11] The song later peaked at number six in April 2017, becoming the group's first top ten on the chart. [12] The song also peaked at number 36 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. [13]
