Background

Tate McRae announced the release of her new single with Ali Gatie on her Twitter, "SO UMM @aligatie AND I FINALLY COLLABED!!!! GUYS i hope you enjoy this music video. it was such a great time to film. we filmed it from 7pm-6am! love you guys sooo much! this is 'lie to me':)"[2] In an interview with Billboard, when asked whether she previews her songs on TikTok first, McRae said, "Sometimes I'll record a voice memo with the clip of the song a week before I drop it. When Ali Gatie and I released 'Lie To Me', we did this video that started me with me asking him, 'Do you wanna write a song?' Everyone was super into it."[3]
