Which Tate McRae song was released in 2020 as the lead single from Too Young to Be Sad?

Tate McRae’s 2020 lead single from Too Young to Be Sad was “You Broke Me First.”

The Canadian singer released the song through RCA Records on April 17, 2020. Written by McRae with Blake Harnage and Victoria Zaro, and produced by Harnage, it uses restrained synth-pop and downtempo production to frame a story about an ex returning after causing the breakup. The emotionally direct chorus helped the song connect quickly with listeners.

The track first appeared during McRae’s online “Create with Tate” series and later became her breakthrough hit. Its popularity accelerated on TikTok, where users incorporated it into more than a million videos. It subsequently reached the top 10 in numerous countries and became McRae’s first Billboard Hot 100 entry in the United States.

The title can be confused with tracks from the same EP, particularly “R U OK” and “Slower.” “She’s All I Wanna Be” belongs to McRae’s later period, while “Greedy” and “Exes” were released in connection with her 2023 album Think Later.
