Here’s an emotional song for you. Hate Me is an emotional gut-punch of a song, detailing Justin Furstenfeld’s struggles with addiction and the impact it had on his loved ones - especially his mother. The haunting lyrics and intense vocal delivery make it one of Blue October’s most powerful and personal tracks.

Fun fact: The voicemail at the beginning of the song is a real message from Furstenfeld’s mom, adding an even deeper emotional weight to the track. The song became Blue October’s breakthrough hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
