Dean Lewis has a gift for making you feel like he’s cracked open his journal and handed you a page “I Hate That It’s True” is no exception.

In this gut-punch of a track, Dean leans into the raw, regret-laced storytelling fans have come to expect, serving up a reflection on a past love that still lingers. The stripped-back piano arrangement lets his voice (and the pain behind it) take center stage. It’s intimate, it’s vulnerable, and it’s another reminder that Dean isn’t just writing songs; he’s writing chapters of a life.

If The Epilogue was Dean trying to find peace with the past, this new single feels like the moment the memories come rushing back despite our best efforts to move on. It’s emotional whiplash in the best way.

The music video has already racked up over 11,000 views in the first four hours on YouTube and the numbers keep climbing by the minute. Safe to say, fans are locked in and feeling everything.

Listen to the track and prepare to get wrecked (again):
