Background and release
In early 2007, Rihanna began to work with songwriters and producers on a follow-up album to
When people tell me that my song-writing style seems like it could have come from the '60s, '70s, or early '80s, I take that as a compliment. Back in the day, people paid more attention to the poetics of the love song. Today [in songs] there is usually more sexual element than a romantic one. The best way to express an emotion like love is through storytelling. It makes it more 'I can relate to this character in this song, because I've been through something similar.' You hear that kind of storytelling in the song that I wrote for Rihanna called 'Hate That I Love You'.[4]
"Hate That I Love You" was released as the third single from Good Girl Gone Bad.
Composition
"Hate That I Love You" is a midtempo
Critics compared "Hate That I Love You" to previous works by Ne-Yo.[12] Nick Levine from Digital Spy called the song a "second cousin" of Ne-Yo's singles "Sexy Love" and "Because of You".[11] Regarding the lyrics, Rihanna said, "When you're in love with someone, even though they keep hurting you, you're so naive and you love them so much that you put all the negative behind even though you keep getting hurt."[13]
Critical reception
"Hate That I Love You" received generally positive reviews from critics. Taila Kraines from BBC Music called it a gorgeously simple modern duet.[14] A reviewer from The New York Times called the duet breezy.[15] Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters was unconvinced that "Hate That I Love You" is a full-fledged ballad, but praised its catchy and smooth composition.[16] Critics compared "Hate That I Love You"'s composition to Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable". Jackie Hayden from Hot Press called "Hate That I Love You" "the prettier twin of 'Irreplaceable'".[17] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine criticized the song, and called it a lazy carbon copy of "Irreplaceable" and Ne-Yo's "So Sick".[12] Sarah McIntyre of RTÉ.ie concluded that the single "brings mournful acoustic guitar strumming, embarrassing harmonising and trite lyrics to a dreary whole."[18]
In a review of Good Girl Gone Bad, Norman Mayers from Prefix Magazine wrote that the songs which were written by Ne-Yo "don't necessarily gel with the more club-oriented material on the album."

Music video
The music video for "Hate That I Love You" was directed by Anthony Mandler, who also directed the videos for Rihanna's singles "Unfaithful" and "Shut Up and Drive". Photographs of the production showing Rihanna wearing a cream bra and gray skirt were leaked on the same day.[39] The video premiered on September 24, 2007,[40] and was digitally released September 27, 2007, on iTunes.[41]
The video's opening scene shows the sun rising and Rihanna waking up. Meanwhile, Ne-Yo walks along a street, wearing a hat that obscures most of his face. Rihanna is in her room; she is bored and wondering which clothes to wear, and she finds a gold necklace. As the song starts, Rihanna lies in bed and sings, while Ne-Yo continues walking along the street, approaches the hotel and cautiously looks around before entering it. Meanwhile, Rihanna dresses,
An edited version of the video was produced for the Spanglish version of the song, in which Ne-Yo's scenes are cut and replaced with scenes featuring David Bisbal. The Spanglish version of the video shows Bisbal watching the scenes of Rihanna on film being projected while he sings the song's lyrics.
