Paris WYA Unveils New Single ‘Hate You More’

Globally-inspired pop artist Paris WYA kicks off 2026 with her brand new single Hate You More, a sharp, anti-Valentine’s Day breakup anthem produced by Grammy-nominated hitmaker Morgan Taylor Reid (Backstreet Boys, Jesse McCartney). 
 
What I like the most about this song is its infectious energy and anthemic chorus that is guaranteed to get you singing along to it in no time. The third single from her upcoming EP MANNEQUIN, Hate You More finds the talented artist capturing the raw, complicated space between heartbreak and healing. Basking in quintessential 2000s nostalgia, Paris WYA glides through memory after memory, reminiscing about a year after an abrupt and immature conclusion to a cutting connection. In brief moments, she wishes she could rage away her frustrations the way her childish partner does, but it still burdens her mind. This relatable breakup anthem is flawlessly conveyed through Paris WYA's gorgeous, expressive vocals which glide passionately over the vibrant and dynamic pop production that blends soft guitar strings with synth notes and killer drum beats, together creating a high-energy listening experience with an anthemic touch.

Speaking about the song, Paris WYA said,
Despite the title, it’s ironically still a love song. The full line that includes the title is actually ‘wish I could hate you more.’ A lot of us think that when we love hard and get hurt, the only way to move on is through hating the other person. But a big part of growing up for me was realizing that we don’t have to hate the people who hurt us. We can still hold space and be grateful for everything they taught us. That stage of grief, somewhere between anger and acceptance, is kind of the cool part. That’s where this song lives.


Accompanying the single, Paris WYA has released a narrative-driven music video shot entirely in Shanghai and directed by HaBei. Drawing on her background in ballet, jazz, and hip-hop dance, Paris delivers a performance that cements her place as a multidimensional artist.
