“Sports Car” took home 25% of the vote, narrowly beating other notable new releases like Sexyy Red and Bruno Mars‘ “Fat Juicy & Wet,” Djo‘s “Basic Being Basic,” Travis Scott‘s “4×4” and Central Cee‘s Can’t Rush Greatness, among others.
“Sports Car” crackles with energy, much like the pop star’s recent singles, with a whispered chorus that draws listeners in before sending them into a danceable frenzy. Co-written by McRae, Ryan Tedder, Grant Boutin and Julia Michaels, the song will appear on her upcoming third album, So Close to What, set for release on Feb. 21 through RCA Records.
“Sports Car” follows McRae’s recent singles “2 hands” and “It’s ok I’m ok,” the latter of which topped Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart.
In March, the singer-songwriter will launch her Miss Possessive Tour, which will travel across South America, Europe, the U.K. and North America. The Live Nation-produced trek begins March 18 at Mexico City’s Pepsi Center and will wrap up on Sept. 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Benee will support on all European/U.K. dates, while Zara Larsson will join McRae for the U.S./Canada leg of the tour.
Taking second place in the poll is the “other” category, which garnered nearly 24% of the vote. Sexyy Red and Bruno Mars’ “Fat Juicy & Wet” secured third place with 22% of the vote. The track marks Mars’ third collaboration in recent months, following his Billboard Hot 100-topping “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT.” with Rosé.
