Tate McRae - The One Day LP

On I Used To Think I Could Fly, Tate McRae turns vulnerability into momentum. The album feels like a diary opened mid-fall, tracing the emotional whiplash of first love, public scrutiny, and the uneasy transition into adulthood. Across its tracklist, McRae balances soft-spoken intimacy with sharp pop instincts, letting minimalist beats and atmospheric textures give her voice room to cut straight to the nerve.

Songs like “she’s all i wanna be” and “chaotic” crystallize the album’s core tension between insecurity and self-awareness, while quieter moments lean into reflection rather than resolution. I Used To Think I Could Fly is not about having the answers. It is about learning how to land. The result is a debut album that resonates deeply with listeners navigating similar uncertainties, positioning Tate McRae as one of modern pop’s most emotionally honest new voices.
