JENNIE & Dominic Fike Love Hangover: A Mesmerising Spiral Into Toxic Romance

Few collaborations capture the paradox of desire and destruction quite like Love Hangover by Jennie & Dominic Fike.

The song, which serves as the third preview of Jennie’s upcoming solo album Ruby, lingers in the grey area between passion and self-sabotage.

As the title suggests, this isn’t about a one-time mistake; it’s about the intoxicating cycle of falling for someone you know will ruin you.

The Meaning Behind Love Hangover by Jennie

Jennie & Dominic Fike Love Hangover lyrics revolve around a love that’s impossible to shake off—no matter how toxic it gets.

The track paints a picture of a relationship fuelled by bad decisions and regret, wrapped in the kind of melody that makes you want to hit replay despite knowing the damage it causes.

Love Hangover boils down to the repetition of emotional chaos: wanting out but never quite leaving.

In a conversation on Hyell’s Club, Jennie compared the song’s theme to a night out that ends in regret.

“Each time I go out on a date, I keep dying when I fall in love. I know that I’ll get hurt, but why do I fall in love again and get drunk with that love? It’s about the hangover of love.”

It’s a sentiment anyone who’s ever been in an on-again, off-again relationship can relate to.

Breaking Down the Love Hangover Sound

Musically, Love Hangover plays like a haze—smooth, melancholic, and subtly addictive.

There’s a clear influence from ‘70s soul and classic R&B, but it’s filtered through a modern pop lens, making it feel timeless yet fresh.

Jennie’s sultry vocals carry the weight of longing, while Dominic Fike’s verse adds an almost reckless energy, making their dynamic all the more compelling.

Lyrically, Fike’s lines—“She gon’ leave me, but she wants to keep me on, what’s up with that?”—cut straight to the heart of the push-pull tension that defines the song.

The constant back-and-forth between wanting out and being pulled back in is what makes the Love Hangover resonate so deeply.

A Music Video That’s Cinematic and Surreal

The Love Hangover music video doesn’t just support the song’s theme—it amplifies it.

Featuring Riverdale actor Charles Melton, the video is a bizarre yet visually stunning depiction of doomed love.

It starts with Melton delivering a eulogy at Jennie’s funeral, only for the story to backtrack into a whirlwind of disastrous dates that end in—what else?—Jennie’s demise, again and again.

Directed by Bradley & Pablo, known for their work with Harry Styles and Lil Nas X, the video leans into dark comedy, making it more than just a standard visual accompaniment.

From fancy dinners gone wrong to horror-movie moments, it’s a fever dream of heartbreak and obsession.

Why Love Hangover Stands Out

Unlike many breakup songs, Jennie & Dominic Fike’s Love Hangover doesn’t pretend there’s an easy way out.

It’s not about empowerment or closure—it’s about the messy, human tendency to go back for more, even when we know better.

The production, vocal chemistry, and sheer relatability of the lyrics make Love Hangover a standout track.

It’s the kind of song that makes you question your own toxic tendencies while humming along to the chorus.

Jennie and Dominic Fike have created a track that pulls you into its world, making it impossible to ignore.

And let’s be honest, you’ll probably be hitting replay—just one more time.

JENNIE & Dominic Fike Love Hangover

Intro
I’m over, I’m so over
This love hangover (Yeah, go)

Verse 1: JENNIE
Fight me, fight me, fight me
You made me so unlike me
I don’t wanna talk, come behind me
Know you ain’t the one, but you might be
Who sent you? Who sent you? Who sent you?
Who sent you ’round again? (Who sent you ’round?)
I’m so, l’m so shady
I don’t really mind when you play me
Wanna switch it up, go crazy
I ain’t gonna leave ’til you hate me
Who sent you? Who sent you? Who sent you?
Who sent you ’round? (Who sent you ’round?)

Chorus: JENNIE
We say it’s over (Uh)
But I keep fucking with you (Yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover
You got me pourin’ for two
I swore l’d never do it again
Until you came over (Uh)
I started lying with you (Yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover, ah, oh
I swear I’ll never do it again

Post-Chorus: JENNIE
Ah, shit, I did it again (Call me back, call me back, call me back)
Oh-oh-oh, but you know l’m gonna do it again (Oh, shit, oh, shit, call me back, call me back, call me back)
Yeah, you know I’m gonna do it again

Verse 2: Dominic Fike & JENNIE
I had woke up in a daze, my sweat was cold, my lip was cracked
I can’t leave this bitch, I had to single, double, triple back
She gon’ leave me, but she wants to keep me on, what’s up with that?
I don’t even really got time for all that shit right now, l’m a baby father
And all them jokes she told at dinner last night ain’t had me dead, I was playing possum
And when the waiter brought the check, she said, “Let’s head to mine” I said, “Okay, awesome”
One minute, we’re growin’ apart, and next, I’m in her apartment
Just watchin’ her get naked and not thinkin’ with my heart
I ain’t even really got time for all that shit right now,
But if she wanted it right now
Then I could meet you there right now (Now, now, now, now)
Even though you barely even drink (Uh-huh), we hardly even spoke (Uh-huh)
But I know when I wake up that I’m still gon’ feel that hangover, babe

Chorus: JENNIE
We say it’s over (Uh)
But I keep fucking with you (Yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover (Ah-ha)
You got me pourin’ for two (Ah-ha)
I swore l’d never do it again
Until you came over (Uh)
I started lying with you (Yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover, ah, oh
I swear I’ll never do it again

Post-Chorus: JENNIE
Ah, shit, I did it again (Call me back, call me back, call me back)
Oh, but you know l’m gonna do it again (Oh, shit)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Call me back, call me back, uh-huh, call me back)
(Thought you’d never do it again)
Yeah, you know I’m gonna do it again

Outro: JENNIE & Dominic Fike
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Call me back, call me back, call me back)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Ah, shit, ah, shit, ayy)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Call me back, call me back, call me back)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Ah, shit, ah, shit, ayy)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Single, double, triple back, uh-huh)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Single, double, triple back right now, right now, yeah)
Ah, shit, ah, shit (Single, double, triple back)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (Don’t know what l’m saying at this point)
