About this song
- "Rae Street" is the first single from “Things Take Time, Take Time”, released on July 7, 2021. The song premiered at Triple J’s Good Nights program. This introspective single was written during the pandemic in 2020 ‘'while I witnessed how the world was going downhill’‘. While premiering the song, Courtney announced her third studio album "Things Take Time, Take Time" which would be released on November 12, 2021: "Some songs are letters that are addressed to my friends. Also myself. The entire album shows an exercise in patience". "The chorus [‘Time is money and money is no man’s friend’] is something that I remember from my childhood, something my dad would say as a bit of a joke, as a hurry-up if we were late for school or whatever. It’s just always stuck in my head, and when I reflected on it as an adult, it took on a whole new meaning, especially in the context of last year when the world slowed down or stopped in some places, and people lost jobs." —via Apple Music .
