Tate McRae: 

Is a Ferrari a sports car? I like a Ferrari. Sometimes it can be a bit of a mind f—. I remember crying on my 21st birthday. Creation is supposed to be from a place of total freedom. I mean, my team is f—ing chaotic, like, we have very ambitious shoots. We want to do everything in the world. And I’m also just like a bulldog on music. I’m just like, ‘Let’s get everything done.’ I don’t need a lunch break. Like, let’s just go. Everyone’s screaming at me, like, whip your hair. No, it’s like, it’s literally chaotic. The last set of the day, and it was the tank, and we were shooting the whole thing on film. So we only had so much left. And the director, my creative director, my hairstylist, everyone went like, “whip your head, dance!” And then eventually, like my- I dunked my whole head underwater. My whole wig fell off. And I was like “guys, this is literally insane.” What do I need in the studio? As long as I just have a person that doesn’t make me feel awkward, then I can write a good song. If I have people who are open to like the worst ideas ever, I feel like I’ll usually spit out good stuff, but if there’s a judgy crowd or energy in the room, it’s like literally one of the most dreadful processes of all time. I knew I wanted to put “Sports Car” out, mostly because I felt like it was a big swing for me as a dancer, and I could really see that song visually.

Keep watching for more!
