About this song
- Titled “stay done,” the track appears on Tate McRae’s sophomore album THINK LATER, released on December 8, 2023. Throughout the song, McRae wrestles with the emotional conflict of a relationship she knows she should walk away from but can’t seem to let go of. Over moody, soft-edged production, she admits that no matter how many times she tries to end things, she keeps finding herself pulled back in. She describes the kind of love that feels impossible to quit — a connection filled with ups and downs, late-night thoughts, and the familiar comfort of someone who feels like both a safe place and a bad habit. McRae reflects on how she and her partner are tangled in a cycle of breaking up and coming back together, unable to truly “stay done” even when it would probably be the healthiest choice. By the final chorus, she stops trying to convince herself otherwise and leans into the truth she’s been avoiding: when it comes to this person, letting go is harder than staying, even if staying hurts. .
