YUNGBLUD has released an emotional music video for his new song “Hated” which can be streamed below. Speaking on the song, YUNGBLUD shares (TW: sexual abuse):
“When I was seven years old I was molested by a doctor. I never told anyone until I told my producer when this song started to come out. This is the most personal song I’ve ever released. That’s not to say it’s soft or gentle. Far from it. It’s a rallying cry and an exposition of the soul. The song is ultimately about freeing yourself from bad experiences and trauma. finding inner strength. acknowledging your past, accepting the pain and having the courage not to let it define your future. You’ve got to kill somebody to be somebody to be who you want to be. You’ve got to hit rock bottom and live through all of the shit nobody believes. You’ve got to hurt some people but first some people will thirst on watching you bleed. And that’s when you know that you’ve made it. When you’re hated.”
