Background and composition
"Hate My Heart" is told from the point of view of a character who is regretful over her breakup, wishing she could move on. "‘Hate My Heart’ was definitely part of my desire to have fun on this album," Underwood said via a statement. "I wanted songs that would be exciting to perform live and would fill up an arena, and that’s exactly what we’re about to do with The Denim & Rhinestones Tour. This one is definitely going to get everyone up on their feet and having a good time. It was great writing ‘Hate My Heart’ with Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia, who I love collaborating with, and also getting to work with Hardy, who brought a cool vibe and an energy to the track."{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/country/carrie-underwood-hate-my-heart-single-1235154345/|title=Carrie Underwood Sets 'Hate My Heart' as Next Radio Single|first1=Jessica|last1=Nicholson|magazine=Billboard |date=October 11, 2022}} "I have a love for 90's and 2000s rock as well as 90's and 2000s country. I feel like I kind of married those genres and times together. It is a super fun song that I feel like accomplished everything that I wanted to accomplish," she said.{{cite web | url=https://www.ecr.co.za/music/carrie-underwoods-releases-new-music-video/ | title=Carrie Underwood's new music video is here! }}
