Granger Smith Goes Hollywood for ‘Hate You Like I Love You’ Video
This action-packed clip co-stars Smith's wife, Amber.
Granger Smith goes Hollywood in the action packed video for his current single, “Hate You Like I Love You,” releasing the most intense visual project of his career.
Directed by TK McKamy and starring Smith alongside his wife, Amber, the clip feels like a full-on mini movie — full of symbolism and special effects. It follows the dramatic events of a car accident which does find Smith escaping with his life, but what kind of life that will be without the one he loves? That’s a different question. Played by Amber, there’s a beautiful woman still haunting his heart, and the whole video ends up becoming an attempt to let go of the past. You’ll just have to click play below and see if that works out.
“I love making music videos,” Smith says of the project, which apparently sticks out in his mind. “I’ve been very lucky to have made a couple dozen and each have been special in their own way, but this one was very different! It was my first all night shoot, first car wreck set, first significant special effects video and first without any singing performance. I’m blown away with the amount of people and preparation that went into this crazy video! I’ve heard a few people say, ‘You’re acting is really good!’ I laugh. No, no … it was 19 degrees and that uncomfortable look was just me freezing on set!”
The emotional track is part of the 10th album from Granger Smith, Country Things, which was released in two parts in late 2020. It follows the driving “That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads” as the Texas native’s current single at country radio.
