"I Hate Myself for Loving You" is a song by American rock band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, released as the lead single from their sixth studio album, Up Your Alley (1988). The song reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100, Jett's third and last single to reach the top 10, and was her first since "Crimson and Clover" in 1982. The song spent six weeks longer on the charts than did the group's biggest hit, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" (which was on the chart for 20 weeks). On September 10, 2011, the single reached number 39 on the US Rock Digital Songs chart.
Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor played the guitar solo in the song. One of the backing vocalists featured on the Up Your Alley album was Louie Merlino, later the founder of the band Beggars & Thieves.
A cover of The Troggs' song "I Can't Control Myself" was featured as a B-side on the CD single, a non-album track.
Reception and usage in other media
Cash Box called it "a mean, growling performance from the high-flying Jett" in which "over a craggy landscape of heavy guitars she exudes a sexual anger and power."
The song received a nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 31st Grammy Awards.
The song was adapted for NBC Sunday Night Football, named "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" with Carrie Underwood (previously Pink and Faith Hill) on vocal and Joan Jett on guitar.
The song was used in the opening scene of Harley Quinn moving on after her breakup with the Joker in Birds of Prey and for the Season 5 trailer for Big Mouth.
The song was used in Family Guy in the Season 12 episode "Vestigial Peter".
Taiwanese amateur composer Pei-Li Sun had extracted the chorus of this song for his solo work for the zhongruan named "Zhongruan Rock", written in 1993 and revised on 2008.
