Alexander 23 is no stranger to penning breakup songs as he was already writing them for other artists before he started creating his own music. The young musician has a GRAMMY nomination to his name and has co-produced Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u,” and is known for translating feelings into relatable sentiments.
“Hate Me If It Helps” is a new and strong take on the classic heartbreak song. The track is an energetic and addictive song, especially the guitar solo that comes after the chorus part. Alexander does an excellent job of capturing the essence of sadness but also the acceptance that follows a breakup.
