A "windows down, volume up, screaming at the top of your lungs" anthem, "hate to be you" has already garnered attention on TikTok, with over 4,500 videos to the song created to date.

On the new single, Lexi shares "I've been wanting to write an up-beat, angry break up song for a while now that expressed my feelings of having someone you once loved come back to you after you've moved on. I really love every single lyric in this song, but my favorite is "you left forever for something that won't even last". It came from such a personal feeling of knowing your own self-worth. I hope it gives listeners a sense of empowerment and strength."
