‘Hate That…’ has been dubbed a “pre-release” single, in anticipation of Key’s upcoming solo mini-album, due out in September. Immediately after the song’s release, Key took to Instagram to post a behind-the-scenes shot from the music video. “Hate that is out!!!,” he captioned.

‘Hate That…’ marks the SHINee member’s first solo release in nearly three years, since his 2019 project ‘I Wanna Be’. That release was a repackaged version of his 2018 debut solo studio album ‘Face’, and featured collaborations with SISTAR‘s Soyou, (G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon and South Korean singer Crush.

Earlier this year, SHINee made their long-awaited return with the album ‘Don’t Call Me’. The group later released a repackaged edition of the album titled ‘Atlantis’, which featured three new tracks.
