In a departure from the entirely self-produced work of his past — including his viral smash single "IDK You Yet," a 2020 release fast approaching platinum certification —
Alexander co-wrote "Hate Me If It Helps" with
Olivia Rodrigo and co-produced it alongside Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Carly Rae Jepsen, Conan Gray). And while the result is a bigger, bolder, and more elaborate track than he's ever shared before, "Hate Me If It Helps" still delivers the raw emotional intimacy that's won him an adoring following over the past two years.
Alexander was recently nominated for a Grammy Award for co-producing
Olivia Rodrigo's triple-platinum "good 4 u," he worked closely with Nigro in creating the frenetic production behind "Hate Me If It Helps" — a passionate and immediately catchy track that reaches a fever pitch at its guitar-drenched post-chorus. As
Alexander reveals, "Hate Me If It Helps" came to life as he dealt with the demise of a monumental relationship. With his latest triumphs including being featured on the cover of New
Music Daily on Apple Music, producer and songwriting credits for artists such as Role Model, Tate McCrae, renforshort, etc. and a Grammy Award nomination,
Alexander is now gearing up to release his debut studio album this Spring.
