Drawing on the same emotional honesty found in artists such as boygenius, Sam Fender and fellow Irish favourites Pillow Queens, ‘Hate Me Now’ thrives on its balance of introspection and soaring indie rock energy. Driving guitars and polished production provide the perfect backdrop for Sadhbh’s distinctive vocal, which brings warmth, character and authenticity to every line. Rather than dwelling solely in sadness, the song carries an underlying sense of resilience that lifts it beyond heartbreak.

While its lyrics explore the lingering emotions of a fractured relationship, ‘Hate Me Now’ feels equally suited to a festival field as it does a solitary listen through headphones. It’s the kind of song destined to become a live favourite, inviting audiences to sing every word back while finding strength in its bittersweet honesty.
