"Love To Hate You" is a song by Erasure, released in 1991 as part of their fifth studio album, 'Chorus'. The single became highly popular in various European countries, reaching the top ten in the UK Singles Chart where it peaked at number four. Known for its catchy hooks and anthemic chorus, the song evokes the signature sound of Erasure with its energetic synth-pop style. Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, the duo behind Erasure, wrote "Love To Hate You", contributing to its distinctive melody and composition that resonates with a diverse audience worldwide. The song stands out due to its themes of unrequited love and bitter-sweet emotions, told through tongue-in-cheek lyrics.

The track's production is notable for its lush electronic instrumentation characterized by layered synthesizers and upbeat rhythms, which are hallmarks of Clarke's production style. Clarke was previously a founding member of Depeche Mode and Yazoo, which influences his production techniques that use analog synthesizers prominently in Erasure's catalog. “Love To Hate You” achieved commercial success and cemented Erasure's status as one of the prominent acts in the synth-pop genre during the late 80s and early 90s. The music video for "Love To Hate You" further accentuated its appeal, featuring vibrant visuals and a playful performance by Bell that brought an element of theatricality to its pop presentation.

Engaging with the musical nostalgia of the past, the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) cover of "Love To Hate You" transforms the track into a retro gaming soundscape. The NES, released by Nintendo in 1983 in Japan and later in 1985 in North America, was not just a gaming console but also a cultural icon, known for its limited yet distinctive sound capabilities. The NES soundfont, used in creating this cover, harnesses the hardware's unique audio features like the 2A03 sound chip which supports five voices, including two pulse wave generators, a triangle wave, a noise channel, and a sample channel for drum samples or digital sound effects.

This rendition reimagines Erasure's classic with chiptune aesthetics, reminiscent of vintage video game music, while preserving the original's catchy melody and energy. The NES soundfont lending the cover a nostalgic texture that aligns with its retro gaming roots. Such a remix not only appeals to fans of vintage video game music but also introduces the seminal work of Erasure to a new generation through a fresh medium. It underscores how the cross-pollination of different musical genres and media can produce innovative reinterpretations of beloved classics.
