Tate McRae:
I remember that day, I was on a walk with my mom and I remember thinking, Oh my God, I’m like No. 1 on the Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart. And I thought, this is the greatest day of my life.
When “You Broke Me First” reached number 17, it was very strange because I felt like I was seeing my favorite artists of all time on that chart. And I think at first, I didn’t realize the potential of “You Broke Me First” until I actually got to L.A. and I realized that it, you know, hit a specific spot. And it became so big.
When I wrote “You Broke Me First,” I was 16 years old. I thought, I have to get this song out. I really want to. The first time I filmed my first legit music video was with my friend in Calgary on Video Star on my phone. These are just two passes of the entire music video. This is so crazy. It’s been seen by a lot of people now and it’s weird looking back that it was actually made on the iPhone.
