Kayati press release

Kayati's "I Hate It" explores the raw emotions of a past relationship and its

lingering impact even after you've moved on.

‘I hate it’ is out June 6th on all streaming platforms released under LA-based

label SoCal Records.

The song "I Hate It" dives into the raw emotions of a past relationship and the lingering impact it has even after you've moved on. At its core, the song reflects on the process of coming to terms with a breakup and the realisation of the many things that were wrong with the relationship.

In the aftermath of a breakup, it’s common to reflect on the relationship with a new perspective. "I Hate It" captures this moment of clarity where, after the initial pain fades, you start to recognise and articulate all the things you didn’t like about the other person. The song conveys a sense of regret for not seeing these issues earlier and acknowledges that the relationship was a mistake from the start. Despite having moved on, the song highlights one persistent reminder of the past, the smell of cigarettes. This smell acts as a powerful trigger, evoking memories and feelings associated with that relationship. It symbolises how certain aspects of the past can linger and resurface unexpectedly, despite your best efforts to leave it behind.

"I Hate It" allows you to express the frustrations and regrets you have about the relationship, while also acknowledging the subtle ways in which the past continues to affect you. It’s a reflection on how even after you’ve moved on, the remnants of a past love can still catch you off guard, like the pervasive smell of cigarettes.

Kayati explain:

‘We wrote “I Hate It” back in 2021, just the two of us in our room with a guitar. At first, we weren’t completely sure about it,but as soon as we started writing lyrics to the melody, something clicked.The single was then brought to life by Peter Borg of Railway Studios’. A year later, we sent a few demos,including “I Hate It” to SoCal Records. The label immediately connected with the track and wanted to release it.'

'I hate it' was written by Kayati and recorded and produced by Peter Borg at Railway Studios Released under LA-based label SoCal Records.
