Tate McRae Releases 'Tit for Tat' as Fans Parse Breakup Barbs

Fans are treating its retaliatory lyrics as a reply to The Kid Laroi’s breakup song, with no confirmation from McRae.

Overview

  • McRae released the single on September 24, her first solo track since February.
  • The chorus declares, “Let’s go song for song, let’s go back to back / Let’s go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that,” underscoring a response theme.
  • Listeners widely view the track as an answer to ex-partner The Kid Laroi’s recent song A Cold Play, though she has not identified its subject.
  • Coverage highlights lines about refusing to rekindle—“Now that you’re acting like that, boy I never will”—and a reference to “she answered my call.”
  • The release lands during her Miss Possessive Arena Tour, which runs through November and includes a Los Angeles stop at the Kia Forum tonight.
