2. I Hate Your Girl (I Wish You’d Break Up), Tess Kerrigan | Jealous Alt-Country Pop

Track 2 from Tess Kerrigan turns teenage longing into something sharper. “I Hate Your Girl (I Wish You’d Break Up)” is the sound of jealousy with nowhere polite to go — watching the boy you want with someone else, pretending you’re fine, then admitting you’re absolutely not. The worst part? His girlfriend hasn’t really done anything wrong. With punchy guitars, a warm country edge, and a chorus built to be sung far too loudly, Tess leans into the petty thoughts people usually keep to themselves. Sometimes heartbreak starts before you ever had the person in the first place.
