ROREY is one of the most exciting new artists in the indie pop meets dream pop scene. Her new single is called  “Hurts Me To Hate You” and is shared with an emotional music video starring herself and her own mother. 

“Hurts Me To Hate You” is a deeply impactful autobiographical story of the cycle of pain with anger, misunderstandings and control. She shares, “I wrote Hurts Me To Hate You at 21, when I realized the anger I held toward my mother wasn’t protecting me — it was only keeping me stuck in a cycle of pain. And it hurt me to hate her. Even though she may never fully understand me, I still wanted her in my life. And that meant accepting her for who she is, and what she’s capable of giving. It was a profound turning point for me in embracing radical acceptance. At the end of the day, I am responsible for my emotions – not my mother. You can’t control other people. It has taken me years to get there.” The deeply moving narrative is packaged in a melodic and atmospheric sonic embrace complete with evocative guitars and warm vocals. 

ROREY’s ability to weave such raw vulnerability into lush dream pop textures makes the track not only cathartic but universally relatable, inviting listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the difficult path toward forgiveness. With “Hurts Me To Hate You”, ROREY establishes herself as a powerful new voice in modern indie pop, one unafraid to share her truth while creating beauty from pain.
