Tate Mcrae Truth Is Unreleased From Think La ~upd~ ❲Trending RELEASE❳
Tate McRae’s “truth is” – Unpacking the Unreleased Gem from the ‘THINK LATER’ Era
If you have fallen down the rabbit hole of Tate McRae’s YouTube archives or spent any time on the r/TateMcRae subreddit, you have likely seen the holy grail of requests: the “truth is” snippet.
For millions of fans, the phrase “Tate McRae truth is unreleased from think la” has become a frustrated chant. Why? Because the track represents a pivotal, raw moment in her creative journey that was ultimately locked in the vault.
While Tate’s sophomore album THINK LATER (released December 2023) gave us high-octane hits like “greedy” and “exes,” the song “truth is” remains a ghost—a studio-quality demo that surfaced during the Think LA writing camps but never saw an official streaming release. tate mcrae truth is unreleased from think la
Here is everything we know about the elusive track, why it hurts so much that it’s unreleased, and why the Think LA sessions changed her sound forever.
The Sound: Moody, Minimal, and McRae
Based on the leaked audio, “truth is” strips away the pop bravado. The production is sparse—think a moody synth pad, a trap-influenced beat that barely whispers, and Tate’s breathy, almost fragile vocal delivery. Tate McRae’s “truth is” – Unpacking the Unreleased
The chorus is devastatingly simple:
“The truth is, I don’t even miss you / I just miss the way I looked when I was with you.” “The truth is, I don’t even miss you
That is the Tate McRae magic trick. She takes a feeling you can’t name (post-breakup ego vs. loneliness) and boils it down to a TikTok-ready hook. It isn’t about love; it’s about vanity, memory, and the distortion of time.

Hmmm. I appear to be missing part of your review, here. Wrong version get posted, or is it just me?
Oh crap, hang on
Better now?
Yep. And you’ve added a few fun bits, that’s nice. (And the movie’s ending appears to have changed? 😆)
In any event, thanks for the review, Mouse. I haven’t seen either Ponyo or this movie, but they do *sound* kinda different to me? IDK. Regardless, I don’t mind looking at different versions of the same story (or game, more commonly), even if one is objectively worse. I’m just a weirdo like that, I guess. 😉
Setting all that aside… Moomin, let’s gooo!! 😆
Science Saru (the animators behind this and Devilman Crybaby) practically runs on that whole “this animation is ugly and minimalistic On Purpose(tm)” thing. Between taking and leaving that angle I prefer leaving it, but it’s neat seeing how blatantly the animation’s inspiration is worn on its sleeve, like the dance party turning everyone into Rubber Hose characters. “On-model” is evidently a 4-letter word for Science Saru!
I was preparing to say I prefer Lu over Ponyo but I think the flaws between each film balance their respective scores out so I’m less confident on my stance there.
I think the deciding factor was that I liked the musical aspect of Lu, especially Kai’s ditty during the climax. Ponyo was a little too uninterested in a story for my mood and I don’t remember feeling like it makes up for that.
PONYO may be minor Miyazaki, but sometimes small is Beautiful.
Also, almost everything would be better with vampires that stay dead.
…
Look, my favourite character was always Van Helsing, I make no apologies.
Not one shot of this makes me particularly want to watch it. Maybe it if was super funny or heartwarming or something, but apparently it’s mostly Ponyo. I don’t even like Ponyo, so Ponyo-but-fugly doesn’t really cry out to be experienced.
Moomins! You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve known about them without ever really following them.
I alwayd enjoy your reviews. never seen this one, but the Moomin movie I do know, so im looking forward to it!
Thanks so much!

The movie appears paint-by-the-numbers. These films rely on the romance carrying the keg, and if the viewer isn’t feeling it, then the process becomes a slog.
