"Exes" is Tate McRae's anthem on breezing through breakups. Instead of dwelling on lost love, she flips the script, celebrating her knack for moving on like it's a piece of cake. She flaunts this chill attitude, acknowledging it might come off as cold, but that's just her pride talking - her self-love in action.
McRae is matter of fact about describing the ups, downs, and the ending of a relationship. Just because they're done talking doesn't mean she's on the same page - hence the phone numbers and keepsakes she's holding on to. In the outro, McRae drops a hint that her icy demeanor might be tied to her youth. She owns up to maybe playing a bit rough with some exes but throws in the reminder that she's not even 30 and it's not as if they're married. "It talks about my flaws in a relationship," said McRae, "and some of my self-deprecating and self-sabotaging tendencies."
McRae released "Exes" as the second single from her second album, Think Later. According to press materials, the record "explores the all-too-relatable feelings of falling in love and embracing the raw emotions that you experience as a result of leading with your intuition and heart."
