# Jerk (Oliver Tree song)

"Jerk" is a song by American singer Oliver Tree, originally released on July 17, 2020, as part of his debut studio album Ugly Is Beautiful. Upon release, the song largely stood out to music critics reviewing the album. Noted for its "groan haunts", Pitchfork writer Cat Zhang drew comparisons to Billie Joe Armstrong, while NME's Ben Jolly described the song as "an anti-bullying anthem-in-waiting". Tree sings about his experiences of being an outcast and eventually realizes that his hatred for jerks is "a double-edged sword".

## Southstar remix

German DJ and producer Southstar released a remix of the song on May 9, 2022, titled "Miss You". Due to Southstar using Tree's vocals without permission, it was later re-released with re-recorded vocals as a single on July 30, 2022, through B1. A "sped-up version" of the song was released on October 12, 2022. It debuted at number 88 in Germany and went on to reach the top 10 by October, as well as the top 40 in Austria, Ireland, Lithuania and Switzerland.

## Robin Schulz and Oliver Tree remix

Another remix of the song was released on August 5, 2022, by German DJ Robin Schulz and credited to both Schulz and Oliver Tree. The release sparked controversy after Schulz had been accused of releasing an almost identical song with only a few alterations. In response to the issue, the original remix by Southstar reached commercial success in Germany, while Schulz's version failed to make an impact initially. Several artists, including Bausa, Prinz Pi and Yung Hurn, spoke out against Schulz, urging fans to stream the original by Southstar instead. In response to the backlash, Schulz's manager Stefan Dabruck issued a statement saying that the confusion around "Miss You" was "intentional" and that Schulz was hoping for a remix with Southstar prior to the release.
