One of the songs, titled One Day, became a hit, amassing over 40 million views on YouTube before subsequently going viral on social media, including TikTok.
The smash single caught the attention of multiple record labels, and McRae eventually signed with RCA Records in 2019.

Who is Tate McRae dating?
As of June 2024, Tate McRae is dating rapper The Kid LAROI, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffery Howard.
Rumors began to swirl when the two were seen eating out multiple times across Los Angeles earlier this year.
In February, the pair were seen holding hands at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game, where McRae served as a celebrity captain.
Additionally, during a performance in April, The Kid LAROI told the crowd that his "girlfriend" was in attendance at the height of the dating rumors.
"I need everybody in here to sing this as loud as they can because my girlfriend’s here tonight, and I don’t want to look lame," he said.
The concert cameras panned to McRae sitting in the audience.
While suggestions pointed to them dating, the two hadn't confirmed rumors until they went public on June 5, where they were seen leaving the famous restaurant E Baldi together.
Who has the singer dated?
Before The Kid LAROI, Tate McRae had a few serious relationships known to the public.
She was previously in a relationship with Jonny Hader from 2019 to 2022.
Hader, born on February 22, 1999, is a Managing Partner, Co-Founder, and Portfolio Manager at Richmond Capital Partners, a multi-strategy student investment fund.
According to his LinkedIn, Hader will graduate from the Ivey Business School at Western University in 2024.
He was previously a Junior Hockey player in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, a Data Analyst at ATB Financial, and an Investment Banking Summer Analyst at Bank of America and JP Morgan.
Beyond his business acumen, Hader was also the camera operator and cinematographer for McRae's You Broke Me First music video in 2020.
The duo kept things relatively private, with very few posts on social media, before ultimately breaking things off in the summer of 2021.
McRae's 2022 song, Feel Like Sh*t, was reportedly about Hader.
Some of the song's lyrics include: "Last night for the very first time / You didn't even try to call / Oh, I won't lie, I thought I might die / I couldn't even sleep at all."
McRae notably had a slight overlap with Hader and her ex-boyfriend, Cole Sillinger.
In 2021, Sillinger admitted that McRae was his celebrity crush, and the two reportedly went Instagram official in late 2021, just after her break-up with Hader.
In a 2022 interview with ET, McRae mentioned her boyfriend for the first time, stating: “He’s one of my brothers’ friends' friends so it all worked out."
She added: “It was really funny — I was like ‘I can forever hold this over you till the day you die, that I was your celebrity crush.'"
Sillinger, born on May 16, 2003, is a professional ice hockey center for the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets.

The duo's romance was relatively short-lived, however, when they sparked breakup rumors in early 2023 after Sillinger deleted all photos of McRae off his Instagram.
McRae seemingly fired back with her music video for her hit single, Greedy, which was set in a hockey arena, likely a nod to her hockey player ex.
