On the heels of releasing “It’s ok I’m ok,” her latest hit in a procession of many, Tate McRae checked in with Audacy’s Bru to chat all about having fun working on what’s next, her focused studio session behavior that inspired the lyrics to her new bop, the vulnerability of the writing process, and a whole lot more.

Sharing that “creating the world of my next” project is what she’s currently having the most fun with right now, Tate noted, “my next songs and all the music videos and the treatments, I love that part, it’s one of my favorite parts. So, it's been fun to start to carve that world out and see what it looks like.”

Of course, our first introduction to this “new world” arrived earlier this month with the release of “It’s ok, I’m ok,” another banger Tate can add to her ever growing collection.

The track which lyrically assures her ex’s new boo that she’s more than fine with no longer being with a walking red flag, actually “started from a conversation of me being like, 'It's ok I'm ok' - and we were like, 'That would be a crazy pop song,’ Tate previously told Rolling Stone.

That conversation, as she went on to reveal to Capital Breakfast's Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, earlier this month, actually had nothing to do with relationship woes at all. "I have this thing in [music writing] sessions where I just won't eat unless I finish the song. It's honestly just like if I'm in the studio I have to finish the song and then I'll eat my meal, I can't eat in the middle of writing," she explained to the UK radio morning show.

"So then Ilya and Savan would be like, 'Hey do you want food?' and then everyday for like two weeks straight I'd say, 'It's okay, I'm okay’” Tate revealed. "Then we were like, 'We should just put that down as a joke', and then it ended up turning into a song.”

Expanding more on the reasoning for her focused studio session behavior during her chat with Bru, Tate said it’s “because you never know when you're going to crack the song, like you're sitting there sometimes it can be like nine hours before you crack the best idea." In addition to the delayed gratification of a meal, Tate also isn’t a fan of yapping in the studio.

“I mean, a lot of people treat sessions like a yap fest,” McRae said, noting “it’s me and Amy Allen, who's an unbelievable songwriter,” that prefer quiet creative spaces. “She did ‘Greedy’ with me, and she's in the majority of my album… Me and her have the same thing… everyone yaps around us and we're just laser focused.”

Sharing why her new track didn’t make the cut for her sophomore album, Think Later, Tate said, “I think like ...
