NERIAH’s ‘Reason To Hate You’ steps into focus as a cover worthy chapter. The EP follows her 24 track debut album ‘Cause of Death’, which captured a breaking point. In this project, the end becomes a start, and the songs move through the quiet space that comes afterward. The writing discusses confronting internal damage, finding the way back to self love, and translating vulnerability into anthems that claim confidence. Throughout, she stays true to a voice that favors unfiltered truth and memorable hooks.

The new project includes six fresh tracks and the viral single ‘Gone Girl’. Earlier this year, ‘Gone Girl’ earned over 600K streams, secured more than 46 global editorial playlist placements, and brought NERIAH to the cover of Spotify’s Young & Free. Listeners who followed that run will recognize the balance between intimate ballads and cathartic pop, both carrying a clear sense of purpose.

NERIAH’s own words set the frame for listeners:
“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.”

The EP also features ‘Good Enough’, a song that went hyper viral online. It received 300 UGCs on TikTok within 48 hours of the first teaser and millions of views, and it resonated with thousands on Daniel Seavy’s UK & EU tour. In Amsterdam, fans organized a project with hand made heart signs to remind NERIAH she would always be good enough.
