Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You (Official Video)

"I Hate Everything About You" is the song that introduced Three Days Grace to the world: the Canadian band's debut single in 2003 and the calling card for their self-titled first album on Jive Records. The writing credit is split four ways, between Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, Brad Walst and Gavin Brown.

The title tells you everything, and the band delivers it with full post-grunge muscle. The verses sulk and simmer, the chorus lands like a slammed door, and the guitars are tuned for maximum brood. Nothing here is subtle, and that's exactly the appeal: it's a grudge you can sing along to, built to sound enormous coming out of a car stereo with the windows down.

It went top five on the rock charts in both Canada and the United States and cracked the top 30 in Australia. And it never really let go. In June 2025 it passed one billion plays on Spotify, which made Three Days Grace only the second Canadian band to reach that mark, after Magic! got there with "Rude". "Just Like You" came next.
