"I Hate Everything About You" is a song by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace from their first album Three Days Grace. The song was released on April 28, 2003, as their debut single.[1] One of the band's signature songs, the song peaked at number one on the Canadian rock chart. The song also peaked at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number four on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number two on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It was the 9th-best-performing song of the decade on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.[2] Despite not being one of their number one hits on either of the two charts, it is the band's longest running song on both the Modern Rock chart at 45 weeks,[3] and the Mainstream Rock chart at 46 weeks.

Background

Written by Three Days Grace lead vocalist Adam Gontier and produced by Gavin Brown, the theme of "I Hate Everything About You" deals with love–hate relationships.[4] Gontier said of the track:

Brown and the band created a demo album, which they gave to EMIMusic Publishing Canada. The record label wanted to hear more material, and with Brown producing, the band created the song "I Hate Everything About You", which attracted the interest of several record labels.[4] Jive Records' Michael Tedesco brought the track to Warren Christensen at management company Q Prime, which ultimately led to the group signing with the label. Christensen recalled thinking that the song was "perfect for rock radio."[5]

According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, by Alfred Music Publishing, the track runs at 168 BPM and is in the key of F minor.[6] Gontier's range in the song spans from the notes C#4 to B5.[6]

Music

According to Houston Press, the song "basically goes just like it sounds: angsty, whiny, and angsty again."[7]

Critical reception

Template:Album ratings

"I Hate Everything About You" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Heather Phares of AllMusic called the song "one of the better alt-metal/modern rock singles in recent memory".[8] She stated, "At first, the song seems almost stupidly simple, both lyrically and musically. However, the controlled fury of the choruses and the ambivalent verses make the song a surprisingly smart and concise anthem for anyone stuck in a baffling relationship."[8] She also added, "I Hate Everything About You's frustrated explosions and passive-aggressive recriminations eerily simulate the trajectory of an ill-fated couple."[8] Dave Doray of IGN praised the guitar licks that complement with Gontier's vocals.[9] Kaj Roth of Melodic called the track "a typical fave song for many modern rockers".[10] Issy Herring of Distorted Sound called the lyrics "timelessly relatable" for any Three Days Grace fans who have experienced a toxic relationship at some point in their lives.[11]

Music video

The music video for "I Hate Everything About You" premiered on June 18, 2003, via MTV.[12] The video was photographed by cinematographer Steve Gainer and directed by Scott Winig.[13] The video starts zoomed in towards several things, such as a TV producing static, a picture frame, and an ash tray, and then transitions towards Adam Gontier who starts singing. The video shows three teenagers going through a disastrous moment in their lives. One shows a young boy who finds his girlfriend cheating on him in the alleyway, kissing another guy. He is spying on them in his car. The second teenager is a young girl, who just broke up with her boyfriend, and the last is a boy who is being abused by his alcoholic father. Towards the end they are all seen smashing items into a hill. The young boy spying on his cheating girlfriend whips a portrait of a picture of them, smashing it to pieces. The second teenager is seen smashing her notebook of love notes and miscellaneous love items with her ex-boyfriend into the hill. The last boy, who is suffering child abuse, throws his drunken father's alcohol into the hill.

This is the only Three Days Grace music video to not have Barry Stock (as he did not join the band yet).
