"Hate (I Really Don't Like You)" kicked off the Plain White T's' fourth album, Every Second Counts, as its first single in 2006, and the title leaves nothing to decode. It's bouncy, sing-along alternative rock with a sneer tucked behind the grin, and it turned into one of the band's highest-charting singles; Best Buy shoppers got an acoustic take on their copy of the album.
The video, shot in Toronto, sends singer Tom Higgenson strolling through a city coming apart around him, cut with the band playing in what looks like a warehouse, until an ex-girlfriend, played by Italia Ricci, turns up and stays to watch him play. The song later landed on the Saints Row 2 soundtrack and in the second season of The Hills.
