Smilez’s “I Hate My Ex” is an assertive pop track that espuses a sentiment that a number of individuals throughout the world will be able to understand. There’s still moments that I call back to my past and remember how former significant others have done me wrong. Smilez is able to blend together crisp and clear backing instrumentation with an emotive and rich set of vocals. The hook that they have incorporated into I Hate My Ex will continue to bounce around listeners’ heads long after the song ceases to play. The bit of rapid-fire patter that separates the two halves of the track is something to behold.
