Hip-hop trio Epik High is due to release the Japanese version of “Don’t Hate Me” on April 27, ahead of its planned Japan tour, the group’s agency YG Entertainment announced Tuesday.

“Don’t Hate Me,” a pop punk tune with the catchy refrain “Everybody hates me, but you love me and I love you,” was released in 2012. The Japanese version of the song is a collaboration with Gashima, a Japanese rapper and songwriter from White Jam.
