"She Hates Me" is a song released by the post-grunge group Puddle of Mudd. It was released in 2002 (see 2002 in music). "She Hates Me" is about the disillusionment that can come as a relationship goes on. Wes Scantlin was at the time just out of a relationship, and he wrote this, inspired from the anger. This song gives upbeat music to lyrics about his break-up. The chord progression is similar to the main chord progression in Suicidal Tendencies' "I Saw Your Mommy", which has led to accusations that Puddle of Mudd "ripped off" the song.

This song continued the group's popularity on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #13, though not as successful as their ballad "Blurry". The song peaked at #14 in the UK, making it the group's third Top 20 hit.

Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this as a Lounge style on his 2002 album "Tuxicity".

Scala & Kolacny Brothers Belgian girls' choir covered this song on their 2002 album "On the Rocks".

It was the subject of a parody entitled "Internet Love Song (She Blocked Me)" by Bob Ricci, available to view here. This has become one of Ricci's most recognised songs.
