Carrie Underwood’s ‘Hate My Heart’ Is the Breakup Anthem We’ve All Needed — Watch Her Rock It in the Studio

Carrie Underwood has never been one to hold back — and with her high-octane track “Hate My Heart,” the country powerhouse has delivered the breakup anthem fans didn’t know they were waiting for. Packed with grit, vulnerability, and that signature Carrie fire, the song captures the emotional chaos that follows a heartbreak — and the inner battle between missing someone and wanting to move on.

“I hate my heart right now,” she belts in the chorus, her voice soaring with the kind of raw honesty that only Underwood can deliver. It’s not just a line — it’s a gut-punch for anyone who’s ever stared at their phone at 2 a.m. or replayed old memories they wish they could forget.

But it’s the newly released behind-the-scenes studio footage that’s really got fans buzzing. Shot during the recording sessions for her album Denim & Rhinestones, the video shows Carrie in full creative control — headphones on, stomping her boot, nailing take after take with passion and precision.

“This one was personal,” Underwood says in the clip. “It’s fun, it’s fiery — but it comes from a real place. We’ve all been there.”

Viewers get to witness her working closely with producers, laughing between takes, and letting loose as the track builds. There’s a contagious energy in the room — one that mirrors the song’s driving beat and rebellious spirit. Carrie isn’t just singing about heartbreak. She’s reclaiming her voice, her rhythm, and her power — and inviting listeners to do the same.

Fans online have been quick to call “Hate My Heart” a standout moment in her career. “This is the country-rock Carrie we’ve been waiting for,” one fan posted. Another wrote, “I didn’t know I needed this until she screamed it for me.”

Critics agree. Rolling Stone called the song “an electric, fist-pumping anthem that proves heartbreak doesn’t have to sound soft.” Billboard praised its production and Carrie’s “undeniable vocal command.”

Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup or just remembering one that still stings, “Hate My Heart” is the kind of cathartic, turn-it-up-loud track that reminds you: it’s okay to feel everything — anger, longing, regret — and still dance through the storm.

Watch Carrie Underwood tear through the pain and power of heartbreak — one studio take at a time.
Because sometimes, healing starts with one very loud, very honest song.
