IHYN
F.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, no, no
No, no, no
I caught your face on my timeline
Haven't seen you in months
Sure, you ran through my mind
But not 'cause I missed your love
Chalk it up to bad timing
But I bled through my shirt
Though I put it behind me
Seeing your face still hurts
Oh my god
I can't get rid of the bitterness
Oh my god
You bred the demons I'm living with
I can't believe I loved you
Knowing how much I hate you now
And if I'm honest
I can't even say your name out loud
Don't get me started
I'm happier since we parted
I can't believe I loved you
Knowing how much I hate you now
No, no, no
No, knowing how much I hate you now
I'm not looking for closure
I'm not grieving what's lost
I just want you to know
What twisting your knife has caused
Oh my god
I can't get rid of the bitterness
Oh my god
You bred the demons I'm living with
I can't believe I loved you
Knowing how much I hate you now
And if I'm honest
I can't even say your name out loud
Don't get me started
I'm happier since we parted
I can't believe I loved you
Knowing how much I hate you now
No, no, no
No, knowing how much I hate you now
No, no, no
No, knowing how much I hate you now
Rose-coloured skies
Hid our demise
Your almond eyes
Branded in my brain
You took my hand
Built what you planned
Castles of sand
In a hurricane
No, no, no
No, no, no
I can't believe I loved you
Knowing how much I hate you now
And if I'm honest
I can't even say your name out loud
Don't get me started
I'm happier since we parted
I can't believe I loved you
Knowing how much I hate you now
No, no, no
No, knowing how much I hate you now




No, no, no
No, knowing how much I hate you now

Overall Meaning

In IHYN, F.N. sings about coming across an old flame on social media and the feelings that it brings up. The song opens with a repetitive "no" refrain, suggesting the singer's initial discomfort at the sight of the person's face. While they admit that the person "ran through [their] mind," they clarify that it's not because they missed their love. Instead, they attribute the thoughts to "bad timing" and seeing the person's face continues to hurt, despite previously putting the relationship behind them.


The chorus focuses on the bitterness and demons that loving and then hating someone have brought about. The singer struggles with the irony of the situation, confessing, "I can't believe I loved you / Knowing how much I hate you now" and admitting that they cannot say the person's name out loud. Despite the discomfort that they feel reflecting on the past relationship, they make it clear that they're not looking for closure or grieving what is lost but rather pointing out that the other person's actions caused pain.


The bridge of the song paints a vivid picture of a past relationship. The lyrics refer to "rose-coloured skies" that hid the demise of the relationship and "castles of sand" that were built in a hurricane. The imagery emphasizes the unpredictability and frailty of the past relationship. Ultimately, the song is focused on the contrasts between love and hate and how painful it can be to remember someone who once played such a significant role in your life.

I don't know what to say, or how to say things that are in my mind right. IHYN was suggested to me in my Discover Weekly Spotify playlist few months back, and since that day, it's always been on my #1 played, the most repeated song. There's something about this that I can't explain in words; it stirs feelings of both melancholy and tranquillity at the same time. Each line whispers the stories of forgotten dreams and lost moments, resonating with the echoes of nostalgia. I know words can't do justice to this piece of beauty. F.N., this song has a very very special place in my heart, and nothing can replace this one. Thank you for making such a beautiful song. <3
