 TITLE: Hate You (feat. Maddie Urie) ARTIST: Sara Daniels WRITTEN BY: Sara Daniels LENGTH: 3:29 GENRE: Electropop, pop rock, pop punk PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky
It's been a long time since Sara Daniels has graced the airwaves with her beautiful, alternative voice and style, but it looks like now she's back - and she might just be here to stay. Sara returns with an electropop song written to her ex, telling him exactly what everybody has thought about one of their exes at some point or another: That she - "H-A-T-E" - hates him and that she never wants to see him again. She's joined with fellow alternative rock gal Maddie Urie, who echoes Sara's bitter words with some of her own. It's the classic bitter soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend ballad, with both women giving the song their all, obviously letting out some major emotions and feelings into the track as they describe the experience of slowly realizing just how much you can hate the person that you're with. The song overall is the perfect reintroduction for Sara into the music world, not only because it features such a big name as Maddie Urie, but because it also features some of the fantastic musical themes and vocals that Sara has always brought to her music that surely many fans have missed for the past few months that she's been away from the spotlight.
The track opens with both Sara Daniels and Maddie Urie softly whispering, "Just leave, leave, leave, leave..." as a heavy electropop beat comes in. The sound is almost menacing as it starts, and knowing that the track is titled Hate You can't mean that the song is going to be about anything particularly happy. There's a pause before you hear both of them whisper, "Leave," one last time, this time a little bit louder than the first line of the intro before a chaotic percussion comes in. There's no sure and stable beat - it constantly changes to keep up with Sara and Maddie's voices throughout the song. Sara starts off with the verse of the song, her voice very quick tempo-ed, seeming almost as if she is just speaking in rhythm rather than singing. She describes her relationship, saying that she's kept her hopes high that things will eventually work out between them, but she knows that in the end, he'll always find a reason to make her into the bad guy. She tells him that she pretends not to notice that everybody is watching them when they fight - just like they both pretend that they're actually working out their relationship when they yell at each other. Maddie takes the next verse, her voice mirroring the same way Sara's was before, singing that she knows that she has to get out of this relationship because it's never going to change. She asks for one more day, because she still has things she has to say to him. In the pre-chorus, although the beat seems to speed up, Sara and Maddie's voices slow down to the point where they are actually harmonizing and vocalizing with each other. They seem to be readying themselves for the chorus almost literally - obviously in the chorus is when they will ultimately decide to leave their boyfriends, so in the pre-chorus, they seem to be talking themselves into it, telling themselves that this is their "last chance" and that it's time to walk away.
Now with Sara, Maddie, and the listeners sufficiently convinced that the best thing to do would be to leave this relationship, the song launches into the chorus, where it finally happens. Sara sings, "I'm leaving," alone before they both sing together, explaining that for their own sake, they have to leave, because all the fighting that they've been doing isn't healthy. Maddie mirrors this as well in the third line of the chorus, singing, "'Cause I'm leaving," and then they come back together again, asking their now ex-boyfriend how it feels to realize that their love isn't real anymore. And then the moment that the singers and the listeners have been waiting for: Both girls enthusiastically proclaim, "I H-A-T-E Y-O-U," with Sara repeating behind - in case anybody forgot how to spell during the course of the song - "hate you," to which they then repeat the sentiment before going into the third verse of the song. Sara holds on to the end of, "you," until the music starts to fade out and returns to the very simple electro beat that it had before in the beginning of the song. Maddie starts this verse off, but now the girls aren't playing nice anymore. While the beginning of the song was full of them trying to convince themselves that leaving the relationship would be the best idea, now they're sure of it, and are ready to let their exes have it. Maddie tells her ex that she's not his to boss around anymore, and that he's been the reason she needs to drink this entire time. Sara echoes these sentiments, telling him that she can't wait to never see him or any of his dumbass friends again, and that she'll be gone before he can do anything about it. The pre-chorus and the chorus repeat themselves after that, but the girls' voices are a bit different: While before they seemed a little unsure of themselves and if they're making the right decision in the pre-chorus, now they're completely confident in their choice and are ready to get away. After the chorus, the song breaks down to the simplest beat it has, and now Sara and Maddie repeat, "Just leave," over almost no other sound except for each other's voices and this simple beat. The beat starts to speed up a little more by the second "Just leave," adding another, stronger beat into the mix. By the third time "Just leave," is repeated, the song is ready to return to the way it was before, with the girls singing their message of hate to their exes again before fading out. The music carries on for a few seconds longer, slowing down until finally ending with one final note.
SaraMaddieBothJust leave, leave, leave, leave
Leave
I can't leave when hopes are high
Though I know who'll play the bad guy
I'll pretend that nobody's watching
While we pretend this yelling is talking
I know I should get away
I know this game that we play
Give me, give me one last day
Last words, last words to say
Got to get away from him
This is my last chance, sink or swim
Time to cut off this phantom limb
I'm leaving, can't take anymore fighting
And I will keep my head held high
'Cause I'm leaving, tell me how does it feel
To learn that love is a lie?
I H-A-T-E Y-O-U, hate you
I H-A-T-E Y-O-U, hate you
So quit calling me your girl
Stop, unless you want my hate to unfurl
Because I'm done being scared to tell you what I think
You've been the reason I need to drink
Can't wait to never see you
And all your dumbass friends, too
Don't be surprised when you find that I'm gone
Or that all your shit is on the front lawn
Got to get away from him
This is my last chance, sink or swim
Time to cut off this phantom limb
I'm leaving, can't take anymore fighting
And I will keep my head held high
'Cause I'm leaving, tell me how does it feel
To learn that love is a lie?
I H-A-T-E Y-O-U, hate you
I H-A-T-E Y-O-U, hate you
Just leave, just leave, just leave
I H-A-T-E Y-O-U, hate you
I H-A-T-E Y-O-U, hate youSOUNDS LIKE:
