I definitely prefer Hello over Like You. I feel that you'd really need to be a true musical artist to write something like Hello, whereas, I feel as though any amateur could've written Like You; there just isn't any depth to it like there is with Hello. I honestly don't care for songs that are very superficial in meaning, because I think music should be more than that and real artists will create music above that.

Of course there's something to be said about being straightforward and honest, but I don't believe it was the best approach in terms of the content of these songs, especially now that we're able to compare the two back to back. It's an emotional song, but that's because it's about losing a family member... the content of the song creates the interest, not the song itself. Whereas Hello has more to stand on.
