Granger Smith releases jaw-dropping music video for his ironic and poignant single ‘Hate You Like I Love You.’
Watch the video below.
Granger Smith, last night released the chilling new music video for his current radio single “Hate You Like I Love You.” The single is taken from his recently released 10th studio album, Country Things. Directed by the highly regarded director TK McKamy (Thomas Rhett, FGL, Wiz Khalifa, and many more), this music video is unlike anything Smith has ever released and is another example of Granger’s multifaceted talents that never ceases to amaze his peers and fans.
“I love making music videos,” says Smith. “I’ve been very lucky to have made a couple dozen and each have been special in their own way, but this one was very different! It was my first all night shoot, first car wreck set, first significant special effects video and first without any singing performance. I’m blown away with the amount of people and preparation that went into this crazy video! I’ve heard a few people say, ‘You’re acting is really good!’ I laugh. No, no…it was 19 degrees and that uncomfortable look was just me freezing on set!”
The video is full of symbolism and features Granger and his stunning wife Amber as the lead and only characters. Starting off with a car crash, symbolising a heart-wrenching break up, Granger battles between saving himself and pushing away nostalgia of his previous relationship. Fighting the reality with subtle reminder of the love lost, Granger attempts to set fire to the past, but can’t seem to stop following the love he once knew. Guaranteed to give the viewer goosebumps, this video portrays the battle of trying to get over the love and attempt to “Hate You Like I Love You.”
“Let go like I hold tight / Sell myself a bad lie / Whatever I gotta do / Girl I’m just tryin’ to hate you like I love you…”
