On ‘Reason To Hate You’, NERIAH explores healing, includes ‘Gone Girl’, and shares viral ‘Good Enough’ and its fan driven moments.
For NERIAH, ‘Reason To Hate You’ begins where a previous story ended. Her debut album ‘Cause of Death’ contained 24 tracks that marked a breaking point. This new EP accepts that turning point, then sits with the emotions that remain. Songs here look in the mirror, acknowledge what was lost in past relationships, and chart a long return to self love. The tone is intimate and vulnerable, yet firm in purpose, and the songwriting continues to deliver hooks that turn reflection into cathartic pop.
The EP gathers six new tracks and adds ‘Gone Girl’, which gained major support earlier this year. The single earned over 600K streams, appeared on more than 46 global editorial playlists, and placed NERIAH on the cover of Spotify’s Young & Free. Across the project, she reclaims narrative and confidence, while keeping the truth at the center.
She offers a comprehensive statement that frames the project:
“My debut album, ‘Cause of Death’, was the breaking point. 24 tracks that buried the version of me who stayed too long, loved too hard, and forgot my worth. It was a goodbye to the girl who thought pain was proof of love. A full-circle moment where she finally said, “I’m done letting people treat me like this”. But walking away is only the beginning. The EP picks up in the silence after. When the relationship is over, but the damage lingers.
This project isn’t about the breakup, it’s about the pieces it left behind. It’s the hard part: looking in the mirror and realizing how much of yourself you lost trying to keep someone else. It’s about confronting the internal wreckage, the ways you turned against yourself, and the long road back to self-love.
It’s about the kind of sadness that lingers after the crying stops. Emotional exhaustion, quiet reflection, and the bittersweet process of healing. It holds tenderness, vulnerability, and nostalgia all at once. You’re not angry anymore, just processing. You’ve been through it, and now you’re sitting with the after-feelings. There’s still love, but it’s softer now – maybe more for yourself than for them. Everything feels like a memory – worn-in, faded, but meaningful.”
Another centerpiece is ‘Good Enough’. The song went hyper viral online, receiving 300 UGCs on TikTok within 48 hours of the first teaser and millions of views. It also resonated with thousands of fans during Daniel Seavy’s UK & EU tour, where a fan project in Amsterdam, with hand made heart signs, reminded NERIAH she would always be good enough.
