Composition
According to CBS Radio's Jon Wiederhorn, "'Everybody Hates Me' is a mid-tempo, hip-hop-inflected track about being dismayed and disillusioned".{{cite news|last=Wiederhorn|first=Jon|title=The Chainsmokers Drop New Song 'Everybody Hates Me': Listen|url=http://news.radio.com/2018/03/16/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me/|accessdate=March 16, 2018|work=CBS Radio|date=March 16, 2018|archive-date=March 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317035805/http://news.radio.com/2018/03/16/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me/|url-status=dead}} Lyrically, the song discusses the situation of being self-critical and famous at the same time.{{cite news|title=LISTEN: The Chainsmokers Debut 'Everybody Hates Me'|url=http://www.iheartradio.ca/chum-fm/music-news/listen-the-chainsmokers-debut-everybody-hates-me-1.3692613|accessdate=March 16, 2018|work=iHeartRadio|date=March 16, 2018}}
Music video
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".{{Cite web |title=The Chainsmokers Go ‘Full Psycho’ In ‘Everybody Hates Me’ Video |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/kcpc90/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-video |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928055637/https://www.mtv.com/news/kcpc90/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-video |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 28, 2022 |access-date=2023-02-07 |website=MTV |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2018-04-02 |title=The Chainsmokers Get Edgy AF In Brand New Music Video |url=https://www.youredm.com/2018/04/02/chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-video/ |access-date=2023-02-07 |website=Your EDM |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Bein |first=Kat |date=2018-04-02 |title=The Chainsmokers Set Fire to The World in ‘Everybody Hates Me’: Watch |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-video-8280568/ |access-date=2023-02-07 |website=Billboard |language=en-US}}
Critical reception
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".{{cite news|last=Hosken|first=Patrick|title=Everybody Hates The Chainsmokers On Gloomy New Song|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/3069782/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180316224017/http://www.mtv.com/news/3069782/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me/|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 16, 2018|accessdate=March 16, 2018|work=MTV News|date=March 16, 2018}} Jon Wiederhorn of CBS Radio deemed the song "yet another example of the group's catchy, beat-heavy blend of EDM and pop". Lauren O'Neill of Noisey ordered lyrics from the song "by Chainsmokers-Ness", calling it "a very Chainsmokers track".{{cite news|last=O'Neill|first=Lauren|title=Ordering The Chainsmokers "Everybody Hates Me" Lyrics by Chainsmokers-Ness|url=https://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/article/43bgnw/chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-lyrics-ranked-by-chainsmokers-ness|accessdate=March 16, 2018|work=Noisey|date=March 16, 2018}} 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".{{cite news|last=Rossignol|first=Derrick|title=The Chainsmokers Are Tired Of Being The Villains On Their New Single 'Everybody Hates Me'|url=https://uproxx.com/music/chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-new-song/|accessdate=March 17, 2018|work=Uproxx|date=March 16, 2018}} 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.'"{{cite news|last=Cush|first=Andy|title=The Chainsmokers Have a Moment of Clarity|url=https://www.spin.com/2018/03/the-chainsmokers-everybody-hates-me-stream/|accessdate=March 17, 2018|work=Spin|date=March 16, 2018}}
