[2]
On March 20,2016,O'Brien released her solo version of the song titled "Hate U Love U". [3]
The song was included on Gnash's debut studio album,We,which was released on January 11,2019.
Gnash enlisted San Francisco singer-songwriter Olivia O'Brien with the help of JB,who originally wrote the song,to provide the vocals for the track. O'Brien had already worked with Gnash,having covered his song "Disposable". Gnash originally released the song on July 26,2015, [1] and it was later re-released on February 17,2016, [4] becoming the lead single of Gnash's extended play,Us (2016).
The song is written in the key of F-sharp minor with a tempo of 92 beats per minute. [5] Musically,"I Hate U,I Love U " is a Midtempo Pop song backed by a Piano,with elements of snap and Alt-R&B. "I Hate U,I Love U" starts off with a simple melody played on the piano,as O'Brien starts to sing the first stanza and chorus,the latter of which introduces a Hi-hat drum that plays throughout the rest of the song. The second stanza is then sung by Gnash,as well as the third verse which is sing-rapped. The third chorus is sung by both artists. The first half of the bridge is sung by O'Brien and Gnash joins in for the second half. The song ends with a piano solo,as O'Brien sings the final chorus. It has a duration of four minutes and eleven seconds. [6]
The music video for "I Hate U,I Love U" premiered on March 7,2016. [7] The video was released on Gnash's official YouTube channel and has gained more than 724 million views as of April 2023.
In September 2017,Muslim Nasheed artist Siedd released a cover version of 'I Hate U,I Love U' on YouTube. [8] The song which has over 3 million views on YouTube features a capella arrangements with rewritten lyrics to reflect spiritual themes. [9]
Time was negative towards "I Hate U,I Love U",labeling it as one of the worst songs of 2016,writing "Forget The Chainsmokers and Halsey's chart-conquering smash 'Closer'—the most depressingly zeitgeist-defining song of 2016 is gnash's piano ballad 'i hate u,i love u,' with singer-songwriter Olivia O'Brien,which inexplicably rose to the Top 10 of the Hot 100 this year. The singsongy melody is obnoxious as an ice cream truck jingle,while the lifeless production drains it of any energy." [10]
In 2017,the song was nominated for a Radio Disney Music Award for Best Breakup Song. [11]
