Los Angeles, CA – Sienna Melgoza just released her new single “Hate It When I See Ya,” a heartfelt anthem about love, loss, and the struggle of letting go after a separation that ended too kindly. Through Melgoza’s soulful vocals, each lyric becomes a confession of genuine emotion, enticing listeners into the paradox of a connection so deep it becomes hateful. Stream “Hate It When I See Ya” on all digital platforms worldwide.
Beginning with a slow, unfolding intro, the song gradually draws listeners into curiosity and longing for a relationship that has already ended. As the narrative progresses, the emotions intensify, transforming into a torrent of tenderness that flirts with pain. “Hate It When I See Ya” blends Melgoza’s signature alt-pop sound with memorable, addictive lines. “Holding onto what I had with you and me, Hanging onto everything we used to be, Thought I could erase all of these memories, But I hate it when I see ya…” The lyrics capture the agony of conflicting feelings in romance, the struggle of moving forward, but pulling back because of those unfading memories, creating an emotional tug-of-war. As Sienna Melgoza describes, “‘Hate It When I See Ya’ is literally about being so infatuated with someone that you hate being around them. It hurts too much to know you both live two completely separate lives now, and you know nothing about theirs anymore. This song recalls my experience of dealing with a breakup that ended on good terms, which, in hindsight, made it way harder to move on.” “Hate It When I See Ya” was written by Melgoza, Caleb Hulin (Avril Lavigne, Demi Lovato), Aaron Brohman (Demi Lovato), and Ashley Mehta. Produced by Brohman and Hulin, mixed by Mat Mainhard, and mastered by Dale Becker (SZA, Billie Eilish, Benson Boone). With its unforgettable lyrics and catchy melodies, the track tells a story of hatred born from passion.
