History
Maren Morris released "Dear Hate" on October 4, 2017, in response to the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.[1] All proceeds from the single were donated to the Music City Cares fund.[2][3]
Brittney McKenna of NPR's blog Songs We Love wrote that the " song functions as an epistolary conversation with hatred itself, introducing hate as a figure 'on the news today' with the ability to 'poison any mind.'" She contrasted the message with Eric Church's "Kill a Word" and Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind".[2]
The song was nominated in 2019 for a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.[4]
