From the album Aggressive (2016)
“Hated” by Beartooth appears on 2 radio countdowns from 2 stations between 2016 and 2017. It was first released in 2016 on the album Aggressive. Its best result is #4 on the 98KUPD Top 98 of 2017. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #44 hard rock song of 2017 and #120 of the '10s.
"Hated" is one of the singles from Aggressive, Beartooth's second album, and it's a Caleb Shomo production from the ground up: he wrote it and produced it himself. Revolver gave it its streaming premiere in 2016 before it went out as a download.
The music splits the difference between hardcore punk and metalcore, but Shomo mostly sings it clean instead of shredding his throat. He explained it as a song about individuality, aimed at the insecure types who go after anyone for simply being themselves, and the lyrics turn plenty of that scorn back on the singer. It climbed to 36 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, landed at 28 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay year-end list for 2017, and the acoustic duo This Wild Life later covered it. The RIAA certified it gold in March 2025.
