Cat Burns opens up to honesty in "Please Don't Hate Me"

London-based singer-songwriter Cat Burns continues to prove why she's one of the most compelling voices of her generation with her latest single, "Please Don't Hate Me". The track arrives as the fifth single from her highly anticipated sophomore album, "How To Be Human", set to drop on October 31 via RCA Records. "Please Don't Hate Me" is a warm yet invigorating exploration of uncertainty and emotional openness. 

Written by Burns with Will Hargreaves and William James Watson, and produced by Humble the Great, she demonstrates her skillfulness at blending personal narratives with chart-ready pop on the track. Each note seems meticulously considered, each lyric cautiously measured, inviting listeners into a hushed and vulnerable conversation with Cat. It is a universal plea, an earnest, almost confessional cry that should connect with anyone who's ever struggled with fear, regret, or acceptance.

This release is especially timely. Cat Burns debuted the track on a recent episode of BBC's The Celebrity Traitors alongside faces including Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross. Still, its introspective ethos offers an original discourse from the bells and whistles of reality TV. It's a reminder that even in public life, moments of self-reflection are what truly resonate with an audience. The single walks a fine line between intricate, soft, emotive melodies and subtle production flourishes, allowing Cat's voice to remain at the forefront of everything.
