BLACKPINK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you love to hate me
Kinda sad that you always been like that
See me making waves and you don't like that
Driving through your puddles goin' splish splash
(Splish, splash, splish, splash)
Stressing over nothing, baby, relax
While you gettin' angry, I'ma kick back
Only thing I think about is big stacks
(Racks, racks)
Negative days, negative nights
Baby, you're wasting all your time
I can't relate, I keep it light
No, no, no drama in my life
Wake up, yeah
Makeup, maybe
I need you, nah
I been good lately
Blowin' up
Workin' busy
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
How you love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
I'ma let you fade into the background
Baby, all my shows are gettin' too loud
Keep on turin' it up when you want me down (me down, me down, me down)
Negative days, negative nights
Baby, you're wasting all your time
I can't relate, I keep light
No, no, no drama in my life
Wake up, yeah
Makeup, maybe
I need you, nah
I been good lately
Blowin' up
Workin' busy
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
How you love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
Love to hate me, you hate to love me
I'm takin back what you've taken from me
You're mistaken, honey, this something that
Remind me why I be alone, on my own
If I needed you, I'd have you that I know, hold up
I could do bad by myself, don't need help
One of a kind, the hand that I was dealt, like oh, well
Felt, Cupid was stupid, I should have knew it
'Cause I been through it, you wouldn't do it if it ain't foolish, stupid
(Stupid, stupid)
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
How you love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
How you love to hate me
Love, l-l-love, l-l-love
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
The song "Love To Hate Me" by BLACKPINK is a confident and empowering anthem that speaks to the experience of being underestimated and hated by someone in your life. The lyrics speak to a sense of frustration and disappointment with the way that this person has treated the singer, but also a sense of resilience and strength in the face of their negativity. The song begins with the lines "Love, l-l-love, l-l-love / How you love to hate me," which set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is acknowledging that their detractor's behavior is driven by their own jealousy and insecurity, but they refuse to let that negativity bring them down.
Throughout the rest of the song, the lyrics express a sense of detachment and self-assuredness, as the singer describes how they are focused on their own success and happiness, and how they are not going to be brought down by the other person's negativity. Lines like "I can't relate, I keep it light / No, no, no drama in my life" and "Blowin' up / Workin' busy / You ain't worth my love / If you only love to hate me" emphasize this sense of distance and self-preservation, while the chorus repeats the main theme of the song: "You ain't worth my love / If you only love to hate me."
Overall, "Love To Hate Me" is a message of empowerment and self-love in the face of negativity and criticism. It speaks to the power of focusing on your own goals and happiness, rather than getting caught up in other people's opinions and behavior.

How you love to hate me
It seems like you enjoy hating me despite saying you love me
Kinda sad that you always been like that
See me making waves and you don't like that
Driving through your puddles goin' splish splash
(Splish, splash, splish, splash)
It's sad that you've always been like this. You seem to not like it when I'm successful and try to bring me down.

Only thing I think about is big stacks
(Racks, racks)
You're getting worked up over nothing, relax. While you're angry, I'm just chillin'. I'm only focused on making money.
Negative days, negative nights

I can't relate, I keep it light
No, no, no drama in my life
You're wasting your time being negative all the time. I can't relate to that. I try to keep things light and drama-free.
Wake up, yeah
Makeup, maybe
I need you, nah

Blowin' up
Workin' busy
You ain't worth my love
If you only love to hate me
I'm busy with my career and don't have time for you. You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me.
Love to hate me, you hate to love me
I'm takin back what you've taken from me
You're mistaken honey, this something that
Remind me why I be alone, on my own
If I needed you, I'd have you that I know, hold up
I could do bad by myself, don't need help
One of a kind, the hand that I was dealt, like oh, well
Felt, Cupid was stupid, I should have knew it
'Cause I been through it, you wouldn't do it if it ain't foolish, stupid
(Stupid)
Our dynamic is messed up. I'm taking back what you've taken from me. This reminds me why I prefer being alone. If I needed you, I'd have you, so I can do bad by myself. I'm unique and have a unique perspective on love. You're not worth the trouble since you only love to hate me.

Jennie the longest trainee among Blackpink members with 6 years of training. She has seen a lot of trainees left and that motivates her more to continue achieving her dreams. Jennie even tried to make a group by taking charge of it in order to help the other trainees not to give up. Her debut has been delayed many times. Jennie has been the one who welcomed, guided, and helped her other members when they came to YG.
Jisoo: When I first enter the company, JENNIE was the first one I saw. She was really quiet, listened to music, and rap while sitting down. So my first impression was she is a cold person. But as time goes by, she started talking with aegyo and I was like" Huh what is this? She makes my heart flutter"
JENNIE is younger than me in age, but as trainees, she's my senior, and I relied on her and she took care of me a lot. And though many years have passed things haven't changed from before and she still takes care of me now.
Lisa: First of all, this unni (JENNIE) is the first unnie I saw in our team and she's always there when I'm having a hard time or to teach me like like (mental breakdown) I can't do this! Like continously, if I think about that time Unni really like..she taught me how to sing and taught me other things like how to manage my private life.
Jennie also the only one who spoke to Lisa in English during trainee days eventhough it's prohibited.
Rosé: When I first got into the company and open the door, I did not know what to do. And JENNIE unnie come to me and talk to me like a sister in english. She explained to me a lot of things. I think she gave me a lot of tips. Thanks to her, I was able to have a good first day. She helped me a lot.
Rosé also said JENNIE taught her the basics of dancing back then as trainees. She went to Jennie whenever she needs advice. Jennie has so much survival experience & a very hardworking girl who has gone to many ups & downs that she can write a whole Book about the Survival for YG Trainees.
Jennie worked hard to where she is at right now. She earned her titles, her groups' positions, her song, her success because she worked hard, never gave up, and remained strong even though she's been hated since pre debut and until now for all dumb reasons. She's been patient despite her debut delays many times and several years.
"There were many times when I almost made a debut. When you have to practice again when you almost made it"- JENNIE
