The Chainsmokers continue their rebrand with another brooding single, “Everybody Hates Me.” The song focuses on the ironic and somewhat contradictory aspects of being famous as Taggart, the duo’s singer, laments feeling lonely and self-critical despite hordes of adoring fans. They began teasing the song in early March.
“Everybody Hates Me” is a continuation of the theme established in the duo’s 2018 releases, “Sick Boy” and “You Owe Me,” which tonally marks a significant shift from the group’s previous string of hits that primarily focussed on love and relationships, including “Closer,” “Something Just Like This,” and “Roses.”
The song, first played live on February 10, 2018, in Vienna—the first stop on the duo’s month-long tour of Europe in support of "Memories…Do Not Open"—was expected to drop during the first week of the duo’s tour. However, the duo released “You Owe Me” instead.
“Everybody Hates Me” was released on March 16th 2018, and was officially announced one day after the duo won three awards at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
On April 2nd 2018, they released the official video directed by Rory Kramer, the duo’s good friend and tour photographer.
