Tate McRae Reflects on Album Leak and Prepares for Release of 'So Close to What'

The pop star shares her challenges and creative process after her third album's demos were leaked online ahead of its February 21 release.

Tate McRae revealed her devastation after much of her upcoming album, 'So Close to What,' leaked online earlier this year, forcing her to rethink parts of the project.
In response to the leak, McRae wrote two new songs, 'Like I Do' and 'Bloodonmyhands,' to regain creative control and enhance the final album.
The album, set for release on February 21, features a mix of introspective tracks and high-energy anthems, including collaborations with The Kid Laroi and Flo Milli.
McRae hosted a Spotify listening event where fans previewed the album and reacted enthusiastically to standout tracks like 'Revolving Door' and 'Bloodonmyhands.'
The album explores themes of vulnerability, personal growth, and navigating relationships, with McRae drawing inspiration from her alter ego for several songs.
