Aaron Rowe Returns With 'Please Don't Hate Me'
(Columbia) Following the remarkable success of early singles "Hey Ma," "Talking With You," and "Lose Lose," all taken from his acclaimed debut EP Exodus. Fast-rising Irish singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe releases his brand new single, "Please Don't Hate Me." With it's raw emotion and soulful delivery, "Please Don't Hate Me" showcases Rowe's ability to turn deeply personal experiences into universal moments of connection.
Last year, Rowe's debut EP Exodus marked a significant milestone in his creative journey. The project captured the years of self-discovery, growth, and transition that shaped his artistry. Inspired by his Irish heritage of migration, Exodus reflects the themes of movement and change - the feeling of being caught between places, both physically and emotionally.
"I don't want to tell people how to feel," Rowe explains. "Art should be in the eye of the beholder. I just put the songs out there, and everyone can find their own meaning."
From nods to his Motown and soul roots to reflections on homesickness and belonging, Exodus struck a chord with audiences across borders, solidifying Rowe as one of Ireland's most promising new voices.
The release of "Please Don't Hate Me" is the beginning of a new chapter for Aaron which follows a breakthrough year that has seen Rowe's profile skyrocket. Having supported Lewis Capaldi on his sold-out UK and Ireland arena tour, Rowe went on to embark on his own headline UK, Ireland, and US shows, and appeared alongside Zach Bryan at BST Hyde Park. His summer included a Glastonbury debut - where he performed to a packed Wishing Well stage crowd that included Emily Eavis, Fred again.., and Taron Egerton - alongside standout performances supporting Ed Sheeran in Ipswich, Sam Fender in Belfast, Kingfishr in Dublin and a mainstage slot at Electric Picnic.
And the momentum shows no sign of slowing down. Rowe ended 2025 joining Lewis Capaldi on his Australia & New Zealand dates and will be returning as he begins tour support for Ed Sheeran's 2026 Australia, New Zealand, and North America Loop Tour.
With "Please Don't Hate Me" marking the next chapter in his fast-rising story, 2026 is already shaping up to be another defining year for Aaron Rowe.
