Background and release

edit

After releasing her second studio album, Think Later, in December 2023, Tate McRae embarked on its supporting concert tour.[1][2] The album produced "Greedy" (2023), which was one of her highest-charting singles.[3] In March 2024, McRae revealed that she had returned to the studio when asked about the possibility of new music releases: "I think it's just figuring out what I want, while I'm preparing for tour. Honestly, I'm just getting stories out and writing and seeing what first comes to mind right now, especially since it's so quickly after my album just dropped. I'm feeling out the water and seeing what it feels like to get back in again."[4]

On August 22, 2024, McRae premiered a new song as an encore on the tour, titled "It's OK I'm OK". It included the lyrics "It's OK. I'm OK. I don't really gotta stay. It's OK. You can have them anyway." According to Variety's Lexi Carson, "elements of [it] evoked songs from Britney Spears' 2000 album Oops !…I Did It Again".[5][6][7] McRae posted a picture of herself with the song title written on sand in September 2024, stating that "yall aren't readyyy" for it. Her prior collaborator Ryan Tedder liked the post.[8][9] RCA Records is scheduled to release the song as a single on September 12, 2024.[10]
