"I Really Wish I Hated You" was the fifth and last single from NINE, blink-182's eighth studio album, landing on Columbia two weeks ahead of the record in 2019. It's a song about picking through the wreckage of a relationship gone bad, and it was the hardest one to get right while the album was being made; it went through several versions, one of them a collaboration with Miley Cyrus, before the trio settled on this one.

Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba share vocals with producer Andrew Watt, Travis Barker drums, and the guitars pile up from Skiba, Watt, co-producer John Feldmann and Happy Perez, with Serban Ghenea on the mix. Critics weren't sold, grumbling that the gloss was too mainstream and the lyrics too simple.
