10 Things I Hate About You as the female leads in the original play. Their surname is Stratford, a nod to Shakespeare's birthplace. Patrick's surname Verona references the home of his relative character Petruchio. The characters attend Padua High School, named after where the play is set. Cameron (Lucentio, who disguises himself as a tutor named Cambio) tutors Bianca in French and slips in a line from play while obsessing over her: ""I burn, I pine, I perish"". Patrick's character reflects the outlandish behavior of Petruchio, and Michael coerces Patrick into the marching band incident with the words from Sonnet 56: ""Sweet love, renew thy force"".
Hate That I Love You was co-written and produced by Norwegian duo StarGate. In an interview with MTV, the singer said that "when it first starts off, you think it's a sexy song, but you have to listen to the lyrics. It's a really deep song." "Hate That I Love You" was recorded at the Battery Studios in New York City, Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles and Lethal Studios in Bridgetown. Phil Tan mixed it, and Ne-Yo provided vocal production. Ne-Yo told American magazine "Vibe": "Hate That I Love You" was released as the third single from "Good Girl Gone Bad". Def Jam Recordings
