Musical Opposites: Love vs. Hate Quiz

Answer: Hate

"I Hate Everything About You" is a post-grunge song by Three Days Grace from their 2003 self-titled debut album. In the song, the singer repeatedly insists, "I hate everything about you / Why do I love you?"

In an interview with journalist Michael Montes, the lead vocalist Adam Gontier stated, "The song is pretty blunt you know? It's to the point. It's about realizing there's something in your life you're wasting time on. I think everybody, even in this band and a lot of other people have felt that way before at one point or another in their life."

Answer: Hate

"Hate to Say I Told You So" is a garage punk song by The Hives from their 2000 album "Veni Vidi Vicious." The title captures a bratty, confident attitude more than any literal hate toward a person.

In an interview with "The Guardian," guitarist Niklas Almqvist says, "The title [...] is a sort of know it all phrase which just fitted the riff perfectly. It's been our signature song ever since. We've probably played it at every single show since we recorded it."

Answer: Love

"How Deep Is Your Love" is a disco ballad by the Bee Gees from the "Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track" album, released in 1977.

In the 2020 documentary "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," keyboardist Blue Weaver talks about how the song, which was written while the group was in France, was inspired by Frederic Chopin, "We went into a room at the Chateau. Chopin had stayed there, so every time I looked at this piano, I envisioned Chopin playing."

Answer: Love

"Love Story" is a country pop song by Taylor Swift from her 2008 album "Fearless." Swift wrote the song herself, drawing inspiration from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," but she gave the story a happier ending than the play. You can see this connection in lines like, "You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess / It's a love story, baby just say 'Yes.'"

Answer: Hate

"Hate (I Really Don't Like You)" is an emo pop song by Plain White T's from their 2006 album "Every Second Counts." It was released as the first single from that album. The chorus uses lines like "Hate is a strong word, but I really, really, really don't like you."

Singer Tom Higgenson told entertainment journalist Jeyne Moore that the song was inspired by a girl who blew him off, saying, "I didn't want to be so mean as to say I hate her, so that's (sic) where the line 'I really don't like you' came from.'"

Answer: Love

"Somebody to Love" is a rock song by Queen from their 1976 album "A Day at the Races." Written by Freddie Mercury, the song was inspired by gospel music and centers on the repeated plea "Can anybody find me somebody to love?"

Mercury was heavily inspired by Aretha Franklin, saying, "I was sort of incentivized by the gospel approach that she had on her albums, the earlier albums." He apparently talked about it so much, that it began to annoy his band mates.

Answer: Hate

"Hate to See Your Heart Break" is a soft rock song by Paramore from their 2013 self-titled album "Paramore." The track features lines like "I hate to see your heart break / I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close."

In an interview with NPR, songwriter Haley Williams said about the song, "I think of it as an ode to sisterhood. Close friendship between women who share their stories with each other and who lift each other up and understand one another."

Answer: Hate

"Hate Me" is a grunge song by Blue October from their 2006 album "Foiled." It was written by lead singer Justin Furstenfeld about how his struggles with depression, addiction, and difficult relationships hurt the people he cared about. The chorus uses the word "hate" several times: "Hate me today / Hate me tomorrow / Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you."

The song famously begins with a real voicemail from Furstenfeld's mother, in which she is checking up on him and asking him if he's taking his medication.

Answer: Love

"All You Need Is Love" is a psychedelic rock song by the Beatles first released as a single in 1967. The word "love" appears over 100 times in the song.

The band's manager said about the single, "It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message. The nice thing about it is that it cannot be misinterpreted. It is a clear message saying that love is everything."

Answer: Love

"I Love Rock 'n Roll" is a hard rock song by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts from their 1981 album of the same name. It was originally written and recorded by the Arrows in 1975, but only became a major hit with its cover.

Jett heard the original while watching TV on tour in the U.K. with her previous group, The Runaways. That group, however, had just recorded a song titled "Rock 'n Roll," so it was shelved until she formed her next group. "I didn't want to just turn right around and do another song with 'rock n' roll' in the title," she told Sirius XM's "Volume" in an online interview.
