"She Hates Me" is a song released by the post-grunge group Puddle of Mudd in 2002. It continued the group's popularity on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #13, though not as successful as their ballad "Blurry". It also topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song peaked at #14 in the UK Singles Chart [ [http://www.everyhit.com EveryHit.com] ] , making it the group's third Top 20 hit.

"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" that song.citation|July 2008
