There comes a certain point when you're growing up when you realise that, actually, you have grown up. You're supposed to be an adult now, and you still haven't figured everything out.

It's no joke to say that sometimes, instead of feeling like you're flying, you're just falling. Tate McRae feels the same, in fact, she built the entire concept of her debut album, I Used To Think I Could Fly, around it.

With contributions from the likes of Charlie Puth, super producer Greg Kurstin and FINNEAS, it's a self-assured collection that really gets to the heart of the matter; sometimes, you just have to ride the wave of the chaos in your life.

Maybe it'll all work out in the end. The release of the album - a self-assured body of work that reads like a proper statement of intent from a proper pop star ready for the big leagues - comes two years after Tate's breakthrough viral single You Broke Me First became one of the anthems of the pandemic, spread through every corner of the world on TikTok.
