The collaborative new track is available now
Two pillars of their respective genres — alt-pop royalty All Time Low (ATL) and hard rock titans I Prevail — collide on the new single “Hate This Song.” It’s an absolutely epic collab track that combines the best of both bands’ sounds and worlds.
“Hate This Song” combines ATL’s effervescent, three-chord charm and knack for melody with I Prevail’s dueling vocals and riffy snarl. “Hate This Song” is a modern breakup track that highlights how music is the universal love language with which we communicate, featuring a triple vocal attack, catchier-than-a-cold chorus, and a moshy breakdown.
“‘Hate This Song’ has been waiting patiently in the wings since the release of our last full-length Tell Me I’m Alive,” says ATL’s Alex Gaskarth. “It was an opportunity to explore something kind of cheeky and different with a band we have a ton of respect for at the top of their game. The I Prevail guys brought their signature weight to the song and transformed it into something wonderfully unexpected and I see our bands coming together as the two sides of a coin dropping into the jukebox that’s about to spin this song over and over again.”
“A while back we were hit up by this little band called All Time Low,” says I Prevail’s Eric Vanlerberghe. “They sent us a track that they wrote and asked if we could spice it up a bit. We said absolutely and went to work. So happy to have this track out — finally — and to be the first ones to put a blast beat on an ATL song.”
All Time Low’s journey from high school friends in Baltimore to an internationally recognized act is a testament to their talent, dedication, and the strong connection they have built with their audience over the years. They have undeniably, albeit unassumingly, carved out their own corner of popular culture. All Time Low’s catalog consists of five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200 in addition to picking up multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications.
I Prevail have established themselves as the forerunners of the genre in the 21st century. Their latest release True Power, once again produced by Tyler Smyth, features the sort of stadium-sized riffs that will rattle your teeth loose from your gums and unforgettable, supremely catchy melodies that will camp out in your brain for weeks at a time. The band also alternately mixes screamed vocals that sound as though they crawled from the depths of hell with soaring, emotional vocals and heartfelt, intimate lyrics that go so deep, they hit marrow. The result is an album that resonates with the listener in the most personal way.
