“Hate Me Close” is a song about wanting someone who’s bad for you – not despite the hurt but tangled up with it, need and harm arriving together. It doesn’t resolve into a lesson learned; it stays inside the contradiction of choosing pain because the alternative, distance, feels worse. Released June 5, 2026, as part of Brian Kittrell’s hard-rock catalog.
