Tate McRae has just unleashed her first brand-new song following her highly-publicized split from The Kid LAROI, and the lyrics seem to be a pointed commentary on their breakup. The 22-year-old sensation, currently riding the wave of her sold-out Miss Possessive Tour, has dropped a scintillating new track titled "Tit for Tat."
The song's title, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, encapsulates the essence of "an equivalent given in return (as for an injury): retaliation in kind." In the chorus, Tate's voice resonates with raw emotion as she sings, "Thought I might love you again, I'll see how I feel / Now that you're acting like that, boy, I never will / Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal / Right now, I'm not even about you." These poignant lyrics appear to vividly mirror Tate's sentiments regarding the breakup, showcasing her newfound sense of independence and empowerment.
The release of "Tit for Tat" comes a mere three weeks after The Kid LAROI unveiled his own breakup anthem, which many fans speculated was directed at Tate. The timing of Tate's song has only fueled the fire of speculation, leading many to believe that her new track is a direct response to her ex's musical outpouring.
Tate McRae has been making significant waves in the music industry, thanks to her distinctive sound and captivating style. Her Miss Possessive Tour has been a resounding success, with shows selling out left and right. Fans are now eagerly anticipating what this young prodigy will unveil next.
Here are the complete lyrics:
[Intro]
Thought I might love you again, I'll see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, boy, I never will
Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm not even about you
[Chorus]
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, boy, I never will
Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm not even about you
[Verse 1]
The day I met you, boy, I thought it was a blessing
In the heat of it, I always took your side
It's a shame you out here tryna make it messy
Wow, you're messy, damn
We were good, I thought we made it through the ending
I was hearing shit I never thought you'd say
Could have picked it up exactly where we left it
Took our future off your plate
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's go song for song, let's go back to back
Let's go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that
That's the best you got, where's the good one at?
I was never ever as far as away as you thought
[Chorus]
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, I never will
Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm not even about you
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, I never will
Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm not even about you
[Verse 2]
I was nothing but respectful, and you know that
Why you changing up the narrative to write?
No, I can't do this, you're making me do this
If you want to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's go song for song, let's go back to back
Fix your fucking self, kiss my ass for that
That's the best you got, where's the good one at?
Should've known you'd be the type to change
[Chorus]
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, I never will
Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm not even about you
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, I never will
Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm not even about you
[Bridge]
That looks like it really hurts
That bruise on your ego
I know that it makes it worse
It had to be me though
[Chorus]
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, I never will
Last night she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now
Thought I might love you again, see how I feel
Now that you're acting like that, I never will
Last night she answered my call, it sealed the deal
Right now, I'm partying without you
[Outro]
Thought I might love you again
Now that you're acting like that (I'm partying without you)
Last night, she answered my call
I'm partying without you
