Canadian singer Tate McRae has recorded songs for two studio albums, two extended plays (EP), and one mixtape, as well as some collaborative projects. She was a trained ballet dancer before starting her musical career. When McRae's dancing footage got deleted from her camera, she instead decided to upload an original song to her YouTube channel. The video got over 36 million views and she received offers from 11 different record labels, signing with RCA Records as they allowed her to pursue dancing and singing careers in parallel.[1][2][3] McRae released several singles between 2017 and 2018.[4] Her 2020 debut EP, All the Things I Never Said, was preceded by the singles "Tear Myself Apart", "All My Friends Are Fake", and "Stupid".[5] McRae co-wrote four of its five tracks, and "Tear Myself Apart" was written by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell.[6]

McRae earned her first Billboard Hot 100 chart entry with the single "You Broke Me First" (2020).[7] It preceded her second EP, Too Young to Be Sad, which was released in March 2021.[4] On her pop and dance-pop debut studio album, I Used to Think I Could Fly (2022), McRae combined "acoustic singer/songwriter balladry and more robustly produced, post-Billie Eilish alt-pop" according to AllMusic's Matt Collar.[8][9][10] She described the album, on which she co-wrote all 13 tracks, as "genuinely just my diary entries" and an expression of her "pent-up feelings, or ugly feelings".[11][12] McRae's pop and R&B second studio album, Think Later, was released in December 2023.[13][14] She co-wrote all 14 of its tracks, including the singles "Greedy" and "Exes", with Ryan Tedder, among others.[15][16][17] McRae has collaborated with other artists, including Tiësto, Ali Gatie, Blackbear, Khalid, Regard, and Troye Sivan. She has also contributed songs to the soundtracks of Tokyo Ghoul:re (2018) and Panic (2021).
