Song Lyrics:

I HATE SHAKESPEARE AND GOSLING
AND CAKES WITH WHITE FROSTING
TWO NAMES IN A HEART-SHAPED TATTOO
I THINK CUPID IS STUPID
AND VIOLETS ARE PURPLE, NOT BLUE

I HATE CATCHING BOUQUETS
THE HONEYMOON PHASE
AND LETTERMAN JACKETS DON’T FIT
YOUR EYES CAN’T HOLD STARS
AND YOU’LL DIE IF YOUR HEART REALLY SKIPPED

I HATE LOVE SONGS
YEAH I REALLY DO
I HATE LOVE SONGS
BUT I LOVE YOU

I HATE PINK CARDS WITH GLITTER
AND VALENTINES DINNER
AND ROSES JUST DIE IN A WEEK
WE WERE DRUNK WHEN WE MET
SO WE DON’T KNOW OUR ANNIVERSARY
WHOOPS

OH AND I’M FAR TOO VAIN
TO KISS IN THE RAIN
THE CLOUDS, THEY AREN’T NUMBERED TONIGHT
AND YOU MAKE ME FEEL SOMETHING
BUT IT SURE AS HELL AIN’T BUTTERFLIES
NO

I HATE LOVE SONGS
YEAH I REALLY DO
I HATE LOVE SONGS
BUT I LOVE YOU
OH YEAH
I REALLY DO

AND I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
BUT I DON’T HAVE TO SING IT
FOR WORSE OR FOR BETTER DON’T RHYME
THEY SAY I GOT THE RIGHT ONE SO NOW I SHOULD WRITE ONE
BUT I’D RATHER JUST SHOW YOU TONIGHT

CAUSE I HATE LOVE SONGS
YEAH I REALLY DO
I HATE LOVE SONGS
BUT I LOVE YOU
YEAH

I HATE LOVE SONGS
THE OLD AND THE NEW
I HATE LOVE SONGS
BUT I LOVE YOU

Review:

Kelsea Ballerini’s “I Hate Love Songs” opens with an unapologetic confession that immediately grabs the audience’s attention: “I hate Shakespeare and Gosling, and cakes with white frosting.” Right from the start, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical love song. The protagonist dives into a list of things she can’t stand about the overly romanticized clichés that seem to dominate everything from movies to holidays. It’s a refreshing approach, especially for anyone disillusioned by the overly polished portrayals of romance we often see in pop culture.

As the song progresses, Ballerini cleverly contrasts this rejection of conventional love with a deeper, more truth: “But I love you.” The playful defiance of the first verse turns into a genuine admission that even though she rejects the clichés, she still feels something real for someone special. This combination of humor and sincerity makes it feel authentic like a conversation with someone who’s skeptical about love but isn’t entirely immune to it.

What makes the song particularly appealing is how it speaks to anyone who’s ever felt out of place in the typical narrative of romance. The protagonist is relatable, expressing frustration with the idealized notion of love while acknowledging its hold on her. It’s like saying, “I don’t need grand gestures or flowery speeches to know I care about you.”

However, while the song delivers a clever twist on love songs, the music video might detract from its authenticity. Ballerini’s portrayal in the video is perhaps a little too exaggerated at times, with dramatic gestures and stylized outfits that seem more like a performance than a genuine expression of the song’s rebellious tone. This over-the-top representation risks taking away from the relatability and rawness of the song itself.

Even so, “I Hate Love Songs” is a playful, bold declaration that offers a refreshing take on love—a love that doesn’t need to follow all the rules or clichés to feel true. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever wanted to love without the pressure of fitting into someone else’s idea of what romance should be.
