"Everybody Hates Me" on YouTube |
The duo debuted the song during a live show in Prague on February 11, 2018.[2][3] They first teased the song on March 13, 2018, along with a shot from the song's music video, which shows the duo standing in front of a car that is on fire. The song was officially announced the next day, accompanied by the cover art.[4][5]
According to CBS Radio's Jon Wiederhorn, "'Everybody Hates Me' is a mid-tempo, hip-hop-inflected track about being dismayed and disillusioned".[6] Lyrically, the song discusses the situation of being self-critical and famous at the same time.[7]
The Rory Kramer-directed music video for "Everybody Hates Me" was released on April 2, 2018. It features the duo racing through a tunnel in an open-top jeep before they are shown at a house party where every other partygoer is wearing LED skull masks, with members Alex Pall and Taggart heavily drinking and sitting underwater in a pool, respectively. During the song's bridge and final drop, the duo pour gasoline on a car and set it on fire, making it explode. The video ends with Taggart, whilst still in the jeep, looking at the camera with pitch-black eyes, similar to the duo's video for "You Owe Me".[8][9][10]
Patrick Hosken of MTV News opined that the song sees "Drew Taggart ditches singing for a Drake-like recap of his innermost insecurities", writing that his voice "sounds closest to the prototypical emo-inspired whine on songs by the bands he grew up admiring, like Blink-182 and Panic! at the Disco".[11] Jon Wiederhorn of CBS Radio deemed the song "yet another example of the group's catchy, beat-heavy blend of EDM and pop".[6] Lauren O'Neill of Noisey ordered lyrics from the song "by Chainsmokers-Ness", calling it "a very Chainsmokers track".[12] Derrick Rossignol of Uproxx regarded the song as "the type of EDM pop track we've come to expect from the Chainsmokers" and "one of the duo's more personal tracks".[13] Andy Cush of Spin wrote: "'Everybody Hates Me' has one saving grace: a triumphant EDM drop to rival 'Roses,' delivering exactly the kind of sugar-coated synthy satisfaction they deliberately withheld on the previous whiners 'Sick Boy' and 'You Owe Me.'"[14]
