YUNGBLUD opens up like never before on his new single Hated, which he describes as “a rallying cry and an exposition of the soul”.
YUNGBLUD has unveiled a brand-new single and video, Hated.
Previewing his latest song with a trigger warning, YUNGBLUD shared in a statement that Hated is “the most personal song I’ve ever released”, due to the fact it addresses the fact that he was “molested by a doctor” when he was a child (‘Alright kid, how’s life? ’bout time that we spoke / Let’s talk about the day when you were seven years old,’ are the opening lyrics).
“It’s a rallying cry and an exposition of the soul,” YUNGBLUD explains. “This song is ultimately about freeing yourself from bad experiences and trauma. Finding inner strength. Acknowledging your past, accepting the pain and having the courage not to let it define your future.
“You’ve got to kill somebody to be somebody to be who you want to be. You’ve got to hit rock bottom and live through all of the shit nobody believes. You’ve got to hurt some people but first some people will thirst on watching you bleed. And that’s when you know that you’ve made it. When you’re hated.”
