Ariana Grande, “Hate That I Made You Love Me”

Ariana Grande, "Hate That I Made You Love Me"

It’s beyond fitting that Ariana Grande’s 10th Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper is an outright, unapologetic rebuke of “fans” who are seemingly incapable of letting go of past — and even imagined — iterations of herself and artistry. Written and produced alongside longtime collaborators Max Martin and ILYA, “Hate That I Made You Love Me” sources its quiet power from Grande’s rich lower register, in which she resides for the entire song, save for a few ad-libs in the final chorus. Her steely, almost detached vocal performance elevates the hook from a snarky kiss-off to something colder — she’s long moved on and thrown away her rose-colored glasses, so why haven’t we?

In the vein of her last Hot 100 No. 1 hit, 2024’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” “Hate” uses the thinly veiled metaphor of a romantic relationship to explore Grande’s endlessly tumultuous relationship with both the media and her own fans. From picturesque lyrics like, “Just know that I will find my way from you/ Like flowers from a tomb” to that gorgeous, guitar-back bridge, “Hate” synthesizes nearly all of Grande’s past musical inclinations into one addictive anthem. Petal can’t come soon enough. — K.D.

    This is beyond dull. It sounds like something you find on New Music Friday and think oh this is nice but never return to. It's so poor for Ariana standards.

  • Ariana has just achieved her 8th U.K. #1 with this

This is track #3 on the latest Now album.

I think I count 26 appearances for her now from 'Problem' onwards? Oh Ari the hit-maker you are

This is proving to be stable in the U.S. so far as well as it's currently #7 there in its fifth week.

Her last lead 'yes, and?' was out of the top 20 by this point on the Billboard Hot 100! But did have a better run here.

This seems like a genuine big stable hit worldwide? I had no idea

Did 25,706 this week. Missed #2 by just 249 units.

Overall units are 196,733. 100% likely to be certified Silver next week.
