Sunmi brings retro ‘80s, ‘90s, and even early 2000s aesthetics in her latest track, starting with the title, a reference to Gretchen Wieners’s iconic line from Mean Girls. The K-pop star sings about her frustrated, angry, and torn feelings to her love interest: “Hurry, it’s time to call my girls / I’ll get you / Where are you? On my way / I have no intention of hating you, you know / You can’t sit with us, oh / I hate you / When I think of you, I’m feelin’ faded.” She even goes out of her usual comfort zone by rapping in the second verse: “Tell ’em you’ve found the only one who blеw you up, yeah / Don’t call me ‘honey’ ‘causе I ain’t gonna be no sweet girl.” Hate is not the opposite of love. Indifference is. —Athena Serrano
