"She Hates Me" was the fourth and last single pulled from Puddle of Mudd's major-label debut, Come Clean, going out on Flawless and Geffen in 2002. It started life with an unprintable word in the middle of its title, and Wes Scantlin wrote it with Jimmy Allen. It's a bratty, sing-along slab of post-grunge: an acoustic strum that swells into a big, crunching chorus, with Scantlin's vocal all petulant grin.
It kept the band's run going, topping the Mainstream Rock chart for a week, reaching number 13 on the Hot 100, and becoming their second single after "Blurry" to sell more than 500,000 copies in the US. It went top 10 in Australia, Austria and Ireland too, and won an ASCAP Pop Music Award in 2004.
