Rising pop artist Tate McRae has unveiled her new six-track EP, Too Young to Be Sad, featuring two fresh songs alongside previously released singles. The release coincides with a new music video for the track 'bad ones,' which McRae co-directed. The video captures youthful antics escalating into chaos.
Tate McRae, an emerging force in pop music, dropped her latest EP, Too Young to Be Sad, on Friday. This six-track project builds on her growing catalog by incorporating four singles she had already put out, rounded out by two new additions: the moody pop number 'bad ones' and the acoustic ballad 'wish i loved you in the 90s.'
The EP's structure highlights McRae's versatility, with the new tracks serving as bookends around her established hits. 'Bad ones' explores themes of repeated heartbreak, as evident in its chorus: “I keep falling for the bad ones / The always-make-me-sad ones / Trying hard to hold my ground / But it always ties me down, yeah, the bad ones.” In contrast, 'wish i loved you in the 90s' offers a reflective, wistful tone through its acoustic arrangement.
Accompanying the EP is the music video for 'bad ones,' co-directed by McRae herself. It depicts the singer and her friends engaging in typical teenage escapades—hanging out and stirring up minor trouble—before a visit to a corner store spirals into unexpected mayhem. This visual narrative aligns seamlessly with the song's emotional pull, emphasizing the pitfalls of poor romantic choices.
Fans can stream the EP on various platforms, while the video is available for viewing online. McRae's release underscores her rapid ascent in the pop scene, blending personal storytelling with catchy production.
