The pop singer’s latest album, So Close to What, arrived in February
Tate McRae has dropped a new single, “Tit for Tat.” The song arrives in the midst of her Miss Possessive Arena Tour, which continues tonight at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Fans have speculated that the song is a response to McRae’s recent breakup with Kid Laroi, who recently shared “A Cold Play.” “Let’s go song for song, let’s go back to back,” McRae sings. “Let’s go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that.”
Earlier this year, McRae earned her first No. 1 album with So Close to What. The Canadian pop singer told Rolling Stone that she began writing songs that would end up on So Close to What shortly after her second album, Think Later, was released in Dec. 2023.
“Even though it’s work, writing feels like my safe space,” she explained. “The stable part of my life is when I’m able to talk about my feelings. So, I feel like amidst how crazy the year was on tour, it actually was nice to come home and keep writing about my perspective on where I was at in life.”
The Miss Possessive Arena Tour kicked off in March and continues through November. McRae has upcoming tour dates in Seattle, New York City, Chicago, and more. She recently performed at the MTV VMAs, where she also took home two trophies, including for Song of the Summer for “Just Keep Watching.”
“One of the things that makes her Tate McRae is that even when she sings about self-doubt, as in ‘She’s All I Wanna Be,’ she sounds fearless and invincible without even worrying about it,” Rolling Stone wrote of the tour. “You can’t hear, see, or feel a single moment of vulnerability when she’s onstage. And no doubt that’s exactly how she likes it.”
