ALEXIS Releases New Single ‘HATE IT HERE’

With her sophomore release “HATE IT HERE,” ALEXIS establishes herself as a pop force unafraid to lay bare her insecurities while still crafting something undeniably addictive. It’s a confessional wrapped in melody, a dance floor filler laced with vulnerability—proof that honesty can be as catchy as any hook.

From the opening bars, the track feels expansive yet intimate. The synth-driven arrangement pulses with an “upbeat sad girl” energy, allowing her lyrics to resonate without weighing the song down. Instead of masking pain with gloss, ALEXIS integrates the two, creating a sonic atmosphere where melancholy and euphoria coexist.

Lyrically, ALEXIS is fearless. She admits to struggles with self-acceptance and the discomfort of questioning one’s place in the world, themes that strike with immediacy in a time when so many young listeners are grappling with similar questions. Yet she transforms these doubts into something empowering, an act of reclaiming space through song.

The accompanying visuals further elevate the release. Shot in a mirror installation, the video literalizes the fractured, multifaceted self while maintaining a sleek, futuristic aesthetic. Paired with the Filipinana blouse on the cover art, ALEXIS anchors her narrative in cultural pride and artistic ambition. “HATE IT HERE” isn’t just a single—it’s a declaration that pop can be profound without losing its pulse.
