Yungblud (real name Dominic Harrison) is entering a bold new chapter in his music journey — and he’s not holding anything back. His latest release, “Hated,” is his most personal track yet, tackling deep and painful truths with unflinching honesty.
Just two days before the song’s release, Yungblud opened up to fans on social media, sharing a heartbreaking experience from his childhood: he was sexually abused by a doctor when he was just seven years old. His decision to speak out was as courageous as the song itself.
Accompanied by a striking music video directed by Sandeep & Chadrick, “Hated” is more than just a single — it’s part of a bigger mission. Yungblud has partnered with the American Society for the Positive Care of Children, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing child abuse and raising awareness about the long-lasting trauma it can cause.
The song dives into the emotional rollercoaster of rising fame, reflecting on how Harrison realized he had “made it” when he started to face hate — something he admits has taken a toll on him. In the lyrics, he opens up about the difficulty of staying true to himself in the public eye, while trying to shield the people he loves from being affected by the criticism and cruel labels often thrown his way.
But through it all, Yungblud continues to do what he does best: create music that connects, comforts, and unites. “Hated” isn’t just a song — it’s a message to anyone who’s ever felt broken, misunderstood, or judged. It’s raw, real, and completely authentic.
Following the energetic single “Lowlife,” this new track marks a deeper, more vulnerable phase of Yungblud’s evolution — one that promises to speak louder than ever to fans who need it most.
