Tate McRae — the Canadian singer, songwriter and dancer — has become one of pop’s most compelling voices of her generation, known for combining raw emotion with polished production and her own dance-inflected performance style. Emerging from a background in dance, she transitioned over the years to music, gaining traction through heartfelt songs that resonated with younger audiences navigating love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

Her 2025 single NOBODY'S GIRL, released November 21 as part of the deluxe edition of her third album So Close to What???, finds McRae channeling heartbreak into something cathartic and empowering. Produced with the help of Emile Haynie and Ryan Tedder, the song layers airy production with confident vocal delivery, while McRae’s lyrics frame the end of a relationship as a liberation — not a loss. With lines like “I am nobody’s girl / I love it so much”, she embraces independence and self-worth rather than dwelling in sorrow. The accompanying music video leans into a dreamy, ethereal aesthetic, using dance and symbolic visuals to reinforce themes of transformation and emotional freedom.

On release day the song made a splash — debuting at #2 on the U.S. Spotify Streaming Chart, with about 1.37 million streams in a single day. Internationally, “NOBODY’S GIRL” has charted in multiple countries, reaching the top 20 in Australia and New Zealand, and appearing on charts across Europe and beyond. The strong streaming reception and global chart presence speak to the connection the track has made with a wide audience — underscoring McRae’s growing influence and the power of honest, vulnerable storytelling in pop.
