Tate McRae's latest release for her album "So Close to What" is a visual and lyrical exploration of identity, love, and self-discovery. The trippy video for "Nobody's Girl" showcases McRae as an angel trapped in an underground cement room, singing about the struggles of being invested in her career while navigating relationships.
The song itself grapples with the difficulties of balancing love and personal ambition. McRae sings about the pressure to conform to societal expectations ("How many times can I shapeshift into someone else?") and the longing for real connection ("Real love doesn't clip your wings"). The lyrics also touch on the pain of ending a relationship, as she reflects on "the universe opening a new door" when one closes.
The deluxe edition of the album, titled "So Close to What???", includes four new songs: "Trying on Shoes," "Anything but Love," "Nobody's Girl," and "Horseshoe." Additionally, the previously released track "Tit for Tat" has been added. The new tracks have been inserted at the top of the record, while "Siren Sounds", a reissued edition, has been tacked on to the end.
In an Instagram post announcing the release, McRae shared her excitement for fans to hear the additional songs, saying she wanted to "close out the SC2W era" with these new tracks. In an interview earlier this year, McRae discussed the title of the album, which stems from feeling like a perpetual outsider ("the idea of not being present at times, feeling like you're trying to control everything").
McRae's music often explores themes of identity and self-discovery, and "Nobody's Girl" is no exception. The song is a haunting reflection on the human experience, with McRae pushing against societal expectations and embracing her own desires. With its trippy visuals and introspective lyrics, "Nobody's Girl" is a standout track in an already impressive discography.

Tate McRae's new album "So Close to What" just dropped & I'm SHOOK 
she's been rapping about being trapped in her career & struggling with love, like relatable much?!? The trippy vid for "Nobody's Girl" is straight fire 
but the lyrics are giving me LIFE 
it's all about embracing ur self & not letting societal expectations hold u back 
. I'm low-key obsessed with these new tracks tho 
especially "Trying on Shoes" - it's like she's speaking directly to my soul 
. Anyway, just a heads up: the deluxe edition has some changes that might throw off ur playlist vibes 
the visuals for "Nobody's Girl" are giving me LIFE 
that trippy cement room concept is EVERYTHING 
and tbh i'm really vibing with the lyrics too - who hasn't struggled with balancing love and ambition? 
it's like she's speaking directly to my soul 
and this new release is going to take it to a whole new level 
The way she explores identity, love, and self-discovery through her music is so relatable. I love how the song "Nobody's Girl" has this trippy video where she's an angel trapped in a cement room - it's like she's singing directly to me about feeling like I don't fit in. 
The new tracks on the deluxe edition are fire too! I love that she's pushing against societal expectations and embracing her own desires. It's a great reminder that we don't have to conform to what others want us to be. 
anyway, i think the fact that she's including new tracks on the deluxe edition is a great way to close out the sc2w era and leave us with some food for thought... but also, what does it say about us as fans when we're so eager to get our hands on all this new music? are we just trying to fill this void in ourselves or do we really care about exploring these themes of identity and self-discovery? 
the visuals in this song are also SO trippy and surreal, it feels like you're watching a dream or something 
I'm so glad Tate McRae shared these new songs with us, they only add to her amazing discography 
we've seen a lot of artists exploring these same themes in their music lately. and don't get me wrong, her songwriting skills are still on point 
The way she explores identity, love, and self-discovery in her music is so relatable. I mean, who hasn't felt like they're trying to balance their personal ambitions with real relationships? It's like she's singing straight to my soul 
, but in the best way possible! It's like she's transported us to this underground world where we can explore our own emotions and desires. Anyway, I'm totally obsessed with this album - have you listened to it yet? 
The way she talks about feeling trapped by societal expectations and the pressure to conform is just so relatable. I'm sure many young people out there can identify with that feeling of being stuck between what they want to do and what others expect them to do. 
.
. And that trippy music video for "Nobody's Girl" tho 
! It's like, I get it, we've all been there, feeling like an outsider and wanting real connection 
. But what I love about Tate is how she's not afraid to push boundaries and be honest about her feelings 
I mean, who hasn't struggled to balance personal ambition & relationships? It's like, totally relatable! 
is giving me all the feels 
Can't wait to dive into this deluxe edition & hear these new tracks 
For me, it's like trying to find balance between who we want to be and who others expect us to be. It's all about embracing our imperfections and being honest with ourselves...
