"Dear God" is a standout as well, where McRae vulnerably questions everything — from love to her place in the world — set against a hauntingly beautiful instrumental backdrop.
The collaborations don't stop there. Tate teams up with The Kid LAROI for "I Know Love," a heartfelt track that dives into the idea of knowing love but not always knowing how to handle it. Their chemistry is undeniable, and it’s one of those tracks that will have listeners hitting repeat.
A Visual Journey: The "Revolving Door" Music Video
Of course, no Tate McRae release would be complete without a music video to accompany one of her tracks, and "Revolving Door" does not disappoint. In the official video, McRae dives deeper into the concept of emotional repetition — the metaphorical revolving door that many experience in relationships, going in circles only to end up where they started. With sharp choreography and emotionally charged visuals, the video for "Revolving Door" perfectly complements the track’s message.
