Empara Mi Releases New Single ‘I Hate Everyone’, a Cinematic Love Song for the Misfits
[1st August 2025] Empara Mi returns with ‘I Hate Everyone’, the fifth single from her forthcoming concept album Monsters & Masochists, and perhaps her most ironically intimate release yet. Following the soaring alt-pop of ‘Closer to Heaven’ and the visceral theatricality of ‘Masochist', Empara Mi unveils a defiant, cinematic anti-anthem built for outsiders, overthinkers, and the beautifully misunderstood.
Self-produced and featuring the sweeping grandeur of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, ‘I Hate Everyone’ is a cathartic swirl of alt-pop, orchestral drama, and brutal honesty. Beneath its blunt title lies something far more tender: a love song for the socially anxious, with the strings on the track written, in a beautifully cruel twist, by the very person the song is about.
“This track is about the noise in your head at every party,” Empara Mi explains. “The internal panic of feeling too much, too loud, too weird, but then finding that one person who’s even more weird than you and then suddenly you fit in everywhere they are.”
Empara Mi’s bold vocals flow effortlessly across this track - she sings: “Cos I hate everyone / Hate everyone / Hate everyone but you…” Scored with heart-pounding percussion, eerie string swells, and a hook that balances rage and relief, ‘I Hate Everyone’ is a standout moment in the Monsters & Masochists story, an album that journeys through grief, transformation, and emotional extremes.
Empara Mi’s music has already earned her 50 million streams, major TV syncs (Ginny & Georgia, Transformers, The Day of the Jackal), and praise for her powerful vocal and production. With her debut headline show on the horizon and Monsters & Masochists set for release on October 10th, 2025, she’s carving out a world that’s as theatrical as it is painfully human.
About Empara Mi

Her cinematic sound has been featured in Transformers, Fortnite, Riviera, and Dynasty, alongside global campaigns for Apple and Pretty Little Thing. Most recently, her rendition of ‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’ for Day of the Jackal, sparked widespread acclaim.
Empara Mi is in the midst of a breakthrough moment. As much a visual artist as a musician, her conceptual album ‘Monsters & Masochists’ is unfolding in tidal waves, with Chapter 1: ‘I Can’t’ amassing over 1 Million YouTube views and over 1.1 million TikTok views in its first month and Chapter 2: ‘Masochist’ succeeding it with over 500k YouTube views in its first two weeks. ‘I Can’t’ was the Best Music Video winner at the Cannes World Film Festival, earning additional honours from music video awards in Berlin, LA and London.

Drawing inspiration from cinematic scores, operatic grandeur and the grit of hip-hop, Empara Mi has cultivated a sound entirely her own. Her voice, described by Clash Magazine as carrying a “devastating sense of soul,” has made her a sought-after collaborator, including the featured single ‘Freedom’ with Wilkinson and Sub Focus on their No. 1 album ‘Portals’.
As the release of her highly anticipated second album ‘Monsters & Masochists’ unfolds, Empara Mi is set to leave an unimpeachable impression on the music world, featuring orchestral arrangements recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and a bold fusion of nostalgic rock and electronic production, the album dives into extremes of emotion, “It’s about confronting your demons and embracing the chaos within,” she says. With her distinctive voice that commands attention and fearless artistry that challenges convention, Empara Mi is a force of nature, creating music that resonates long after the final note.
