Yungblud is continuing his new era with his new single, ‘Hated’ today. Undoubtedly Yungblud’s most lyrically poignant and personal offering to date, the incredibly vulnerable track is accompanied by a striking and powerful music video, directed by Sandeep & Chadrick.
If this song brings up difficult emotions for you or has triggered memories, the American Society for the Positive Care of Children is available as a resource, providing a safe space to find support. American Society for the Positive Care of Children (American SPCC) is a lifeline for anyone seeking guidance, healing, and empowerment, and are dedicated to breaking the cycle of abuse and fostering a world where every child can thrive, free from harm.
“When I was seven years old, I was molested by a doctor,” the artist born Dominic Harrison claimed in a statement shared to social media ahead of the song’s release. “I never told anyone until I told my producer when this song started to come out. This is the most personal thing I’ve ever released. That’s not to say it’s soft or gentle. Far from it. It’s a rallying cry and exposition of the soul.”
“The song is ultimately about freeing yourself from bad experiences and trauma,” Yungblud added in his statement. “Finding inner strength. Acknowledging your past, accepting the pain, and having the courage not to let it define your future.”
