Kayla Nicole Hits With Visuals for New Single ‘I Hate It Here’

Kayla Nicole, the internet sensation and rising star in the music industry, recently released her latest single “I Hate It Here” via 300 Entertainment. Produced by Deraj Global, the piano-driven ballad is a soulful and introspective piece that explores the theme of toxicity and self-sabotage. With its relatable lyrics and emotionally charged melody, the single is a testament to Kayla’s growth as an artist.

Today Kayla released the video for the single which supports brings the song’s powerful message to life. Directed by Amaya Barnes, the video, features Kayla in various settings, portraying the emotions of someone who is trapped in a toxic situation. The video’s imagery perfectly captures the pain, frustration, and self-doubt that comes with being in an unhealthy situation.

As the song progresses, the video takes on a more hopeful tone, showing Kayla breaking free from the chains of toxicity and embracing self-love and acceptance. The video’s powerful imagery and Kayla’s emotive performance combine to create a captivating experience. 4/5 for me!

Speaking about the song and its accompanying video, Kayla commented:

I knew way too many people in toxic situations similar to one another, even an older version of my teenage self, and I felt bad for us. I needed to say what was necessary but not harsh—just honest and insightful. Oftentimes, we are caught in the ‘I would never, until I did’ cycles of life and don’t find our way out accordingly. A song like this is a reflection from the heart of a person who is aware of their own self-sabotage in following their fearful, yet faithful, heart instead of listening to their yearning soul. You don’t wanna miss you ‘back then,’ when you could cherish you now.

“I Hate It Here” is another shining example of Kayla’s talents as a songwriter, storyteller, and performer; the video only adds to its impact.

With her massive following of 25 million-plus fans and growing, Kayla is en route to becoming one of the most exciting and heard voices in music today.
