"Love Me or Hate Me"
Song

"Love Me or Hate Me (Fuck You!!!!)" (produced by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald) is the fifth single from UK hip-hop artist Lady Sovereign and the fourth from her debut album Public Warning. The single was confirmed for release by her official website and was released in October 2006 in the U.S. and January 29, 2007 in the UK [1] [2]. The video was premiered in the last week of September. It features Lady Sovereign appearing in Tetris-style blocks, and acting out certain lyrics of the song.

"Love Me or Hate Me" became the second song in chart history to debut in the top 5 of the American independent chart, the NLP Singles Chart, and rise to the top the next week, entering the chart at #3 on 28 October 2006 and rising to the top on 4 November 2006, also becoming the first among many British artists to top the chart.

Parts of the music video have a Tetris theme.

The song was quite popular in the U.S., becoming the first song by a British rap artist to ever reach #1 on MTV's TRL, as well as being heard in a TV spot for Verizon Wireless. In addition it debuted at #81 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Lady Sovereign's first single to chart in the U.S. In 2007, the song debuted at #48 on the UK Singles Chart, later peaking at #26, becoming her highest charting solo hit to date. Blender magazine ranked it as the 32nd best song of 2006. [3]

The song has been featured as the theme song for the Oxygen Channel's reality show The Bad Girls Club.

It can also be heard on the video game Need for Speed: Carbon, and in an episode of the ABC TV series Ugly Betty.

The remix, which is the last track on the album, features Missy Elliott.
