Canadian pop star Tate McRae is back with a fiery new single called “Tit for Tat.” Released in late September, the punchy track comes just weeks after her split from Australian rapper The Kid LAROI. Fans quickly noted that the title and its feisty lyrics suggest a musical response to LAROI’s own recent breakup song. McRae confirmed the song’s quick turnaround on Instagram, writing, “Wrote this song 2 weeks ago in Nashville on tour. Finding inspiration everywhere I go.”
Combining snarling rap verses and catchy pop hooks, “Tit for Tat” finds McRae owning her side of the story. The bold lyrics and assertive vocals have won praise online, as listeners applaud her turning heartbreak into empowerment. The single follows last spring’s hit “Greedy,” and arrives as McRae continues selling out her Miss Possessive tour. With “Tit for Tat,” McRae proves she can channel personal drama into high-energy pop anthems.
