With ‘Reason To Hate You’, NERIAH gathers six new songs plus ‘Gone Girl’, and shares ‘Good Enough’ after viral fan support.
NERIAH’s EP ‘Reason To Hate You’ finds its purpose in the aftermath. The release follows her 24 track debut album ‘Cause of Death’, where an emotional breaking point closed one cycle. Now, in this project, she looks at the quiet that comes next, confronting what remains and finding the first markers of healing. The sound leans toward intimacy and vulnerability, yet the writing stays direct and clear, reclaiming perspective with confidence.
The set comprises six new tracks and the viral ‘Gone Girl’. That single drew widespread support earlier this year, crossing 600K streams, landing more than 46 global editorial playlist placements, and placing NERIAH on the cover of Spotify’s Young & Free. As throughout her work, she weaves hooks that spread quickly while maintaining a truthful core, shaping cathartic pop anthems that sit beside delicate ballads.
NERIAH articulates the EP’s foundation in a detailed statement:
“My debut album, ‘Cause of Death’, was the breaking point. 24 tracks that buried the version of me who stayed too long, loved too hard, and forgot my worth. It was a goodbye to the girl who thought pain was proof of love. A full-circle moment where she finally said, “I’m done letting people treat me like this”. But walking away is only the beginning. The EP picks up in the silence after. When the relationship is over, but the damage lingers. 
This project isn’t about the breakup, it’s about the pieces it left behind. It’s the hard part: looking in the mirror and realizing how much of yourself you lost trying to keep someone else. It’s about confronting the internal wreckage, the ways you turned against yourself, and the long road back to self-love.
It’s about the kind of sadness that lingers after the crying stops. Emotional exhaustion, quiet reflection, and the bittersweet process of healing. It holds tenderness, vulnerability, and nostalgia all at once. You’re not angry anymore, just processing. You’ve been through it, and now you’re sitting with the after-feelings. There’s still love, but it’s softer now – maybe more for yourself than for them. Everything feels like a memory – worn-in, faded, but meaningful.”
Another focal point is ‘Good Enough’. The song went hyper viral online, receiving 300 UGCs on TikTok within 48 hours of the first teaser and millions of views, and it connected with thousands of fans during Daniel Seavy’s UK & EU tour. A fan project in Amsterdam, with hand made heart signs, reminded NERIAH she would always be good enough.
