In such a short period of time, Tate McRae has managed to become one of the most leading voices in pop. And her forthcoming single “It’s Okay, I’m Okay” will surely demonstrate more and more of the artist’s maturity. Here goes the blog that concerns her creative process, inspirations, and the evolution of this exciting new track.
Inspiration Behind the Song
It’s Okay, I’m Okay” was written in Sweden with songwriters Elia and Savin; that’s when the whole thing took its spark. The phrase just came up through a casual conversation: “It’s okay, I’m okay.” It was from that line of simple conversation, says Tate, that transpired into a really poppy song.
While the concept of the song was raw and relatable, by the time it reached its final version, Tate would inject much more depth into it. She says, “Honestly, I wrote it last year in Sweden with Elia and Savin, and it started off from, like, a conversation of me being, like, oh, it’s okay. I’m okay.” This casual start became something so much greater.
The Track’s Evolution
In this way, as Tate continued to grow as an artist, so did the song. She has reworked “It’s Okay, I’m Okay” over the past year to fit her present experiences and views. Tate says, “A year later, I’m a different person in different relationships. I feel like I have different perspectives.” This is important in having the song be relatable to her audience.
This ultimately led to the end result: a pop single with a punch that talks pointlessly yet remindingly to youth and self-acceptance. Tate says the song took on a life of its own, not just being relatable for herself but also for her fans, who could probably be in the same feelings or mood.
Anticipation for the Music Video
Plans for a music video are in the works, so palpable is the fan excitement. Tate promises a visual feast influenced by classic pop: “I think it’s just so many pop videos. Like, old Britney, old Christina,” she shares. And such a strangely retro-shaped nod will no doubt delight old and new alike.
She points out that the music video is “very campy,” which just means it should be a fun and campy visual narrative to accompany the track’s themes. Tate says she’s particularly looking forward to the choreography-choreographer Sean is great and an absolutely one-of-a-kind choreographer. “Sean, like, absolutely devoured the choreo. He’s a one-of-a-kind choreographer,” she furthered, hinting at some impressively entertaining dance sequences that will warp the music video.
Connecting with Fans
One of the most outstanding things about Tate McRae is how easily she connects to her audience. With every song, she has an idea about something that could mean a lot to her audience. “It’s Okay, I’m Okay” does not differ in this sense, as it talks about this life where ups and downs occur.
At such a young age, Tate can appreciate authenticity in her work. She also wants her fans to feel seen and heard, especially when times get tough. “I think the whole song kinda shifted for me,” she says, hinting that her growth, along with the growth of her audience, was what influenced her to make different music.
The Influence of Personal Growth on the Music
Growth as a person is the principal point in being an artist. As Tate grows up, her music changes with how she sees and handles the shifting world around her. Her songwriting does grow as she opens up and is honest with herself and others.
With every release, it is evident that she is being true to herself. Within a year, “It’s Okay, I’m Okay” really showcases how she focuses on creating music that speaks to her audience on a whole other level, keeping the entertainment value amped up.
What to Expect from “It’s Okay, I’m Okay”
