Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Infobox song "R U OK" (often stylised in lowercase) is a song by Canadian singer Tate McRae. It was released on December 13, 2020, through RCA Records as the second single from McRae's second extended play, Too Young to Be Sad.[1][2] The song was written by McRae, Bryan Fryzel and Elizabeth Lowell Boland.

Background[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Tate McRae uploaded a snippet of the song on TikTok a few days prior to its release, describing it as a sequel to her breakthrough 2020 single "You Broke Me First".[3] In the press release for the song she remarked, "‘r u ok' is a song that I never thought I’d write. It has a very sassy and feisty tone, which made it a challenge to dive into that perspective – as I think I’m quite the opposite. I love that in this song there is a lot of emotional meaning behind the lyrics, with very trappy, bright and contrasting production at the same time."[4]

McRae explained that she wrote the song with Lowell "on Zoom with [Lowell's] ukulele, just chilling on [her] bed" at home.[5] She also compared the song to her track "You Broke Me First," describing "R U OK" as "the continued story of it, going into depth about the relationship from a person who's completely moved on."[6]

Critical reception[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The song topped Billboard's list of "10 cool new pop songs to get you through the week".[7] It was also featured on Mark Beaumont of The GuardianVorlage:'s list of tracks of the week and was said to give an update to the story told in You Broke Me First.[8] Dork described the song as stunning, calling it an "unstoppable slice of heartbreak pop" and a "hypnotic and smooth new anthem".[9] Alexandra Pollard of The Independent remarked that the song offers "tongue-in-cheek broodiness" and noted that McRae has honed an artistic identity of mood-pop songs.[10]
