I Hate U - SZA - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"I Hate U" is a single by American R&B singer SZA, who had previously garnered widespread critical acclaim with her 2017 studio debut, Ctrl. The track was first posted on her SoundCloud account on August 22, 2021, in what she deemed "an experiment," a way to put her feelings out there with no expectations about the repercussions it might have. Soon after, "I Hate U" went viral on social media, prompting the artist to release the song as a commercial single in December of that year. Backed by a minimalistic instrumental track indebted to both 1990s R&B and hip-hop, "I Hate U" is a classic breakup song in which SZA pours her heart out about a failed past relationship. Shortly after its release, "I Hate U" shot straight to the top of the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Rhythmic charts, and peaked at Number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. An accompanying video starring actor Lakeith Stanfield premiered on January 7, 2022.
