==Background== G-Eazy shared: "I've experienced love in my life," and "I've experienced heartbreak in my life and caused heartbreak in my life and received heartbreak in my life. The power of music is to express and capture the human experience. We live and we experience things. Music for us is an outlet, a way to channel the things we go through and put into a tangible forum."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://younghollywood.com/scene/iconic-duo-g-eazy-blackbear-are-back-with-new-single-hate-the-way.html|title=Iconic Duo G-Eazy & blackbear Are Back With New Single "Hate The Way"|website=younghollywood.com|author=Mary Shannon Donnelly|date=October 10, 2020|accessdate=November 4, 2020}}</ref>
