Dallas native Maren Morris explains the history of the song in an Instagram post:
I wrote this song 3 years ago, recorded it last year with Vince Gill, and always have fans asking when I’ll put it out. I never knew when would be the right time, but I realized today that there’s never a right time. Hate is everywhere, and I’m sick of not doing enough. In the darkest tunnel, there is still love & music. That’s what it’s here for. Here is Dear Hate. Any cent I see from this I’m donating to the Music City Cares Fund. Link for everything in bio. #LovesGonnaConquerAll A post shared by Maren Morris (@marenmorris) on Oct 2, 2017 at 2:20pm PDT
