Back with another epic alt-pop banger, rising Brit band MIYA MIYA officiallyunveil their explosive new single “H8 Me 2” – after initially releasing via Tik Tok earlier in April this year.
Brimming with an addictive ‘00s pop-punk nostalgia, “H8 Me 2” blazes with electric guitars and punching drums for a track bursting with powerhouse energy. A fierce anthem of frustration, “H8 Me 2” explores a toxic infatuation via the band’s winning formula of intimate, catchy storytelling and larger-than-life pop sounds. Complete with a hugely irresistible chorus, MIYA MIYA’s new slice of anthemic pop is set to be the soundtrack to summer.
MIYA MIYA made the following statement about “H8 Me 2”: “It’s a love/hate letter towards us breaking the mould and becoming an independent band. In January we were in between finishing songs and were trailing through all the old favourite films that made us feel nostalgic. We came across 10 Things I Hate About You and, with what we were going through at the time, it felt like such a great idea for a song; we jumped in the studio, grabbed the acoustic guitar and wrote the hook in what felt like very little time. We also felt most current love songs were a bit one-sided, so wanted to flip it on its head and write about the side of a relationship people don’t tend to sing about. Leah Kate clearly caught the same wave!”
Comprised of lead vocalists Gini and Jordan, guitarist Gio and drummer James, MIYA MIYA’s songs, features & co-writes have gone on to amass a whopping 100M+ streams since their debut in 2020, with their latest bop proving to be widely anticipated having already amassed 11M+ views from teasers on TikTok. “H8 Me 2” follows on from a slurry of well-received releases including “Cool”, “Rules” and “Want You” – the latter of which having featured on last year’s season of Love Island.
Earning acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Wonderland, The Independent, Clash, Songwriting Magazine, ENFNTS TERRIBLES, When the Horn Blows and The Rodeo, MIYA MIYA have also won key backing from Spotify’s New Music Friday, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing to position them as a key band on the rise.
Making their official live debut in November 2021 at their sold-out headline show at Notting Hill Arts Club, MIYA MIYA’s gripping, dynamic stage presence has seen them support alt-pop band Flawes at London’s Omeara, as well as land a coveted slot at BBC Radio 1 DJ Gemma Bradley’s Whiplash live series and Norwich’s Neck of the Woods.
Confidently emerging as rebellious pop prospects with an ever-growing audience, MIYA MIYA continue their path as one of the most exciting names coming up in British pop.
