Tate McRae’s new pop track, “Greedy,” was inspired by an interaction at a bar, per People. She shared, “A guy had come up to me at a bar and he was like, ‘Oh, you’re so mysterious and I feel like I know nothing about you. You keep your cards so close to your chest.’” The “You Broke Me First” singer realized it does take a while for her to break down her walls, and thus, “Greedy” came to be.
Throughout the track, the lyrics point to the feeling that she can be difficult to get to know. In the chorus, McRae sings, “I’ll put you through hell / Just to know me, yeah, yeah / So sure of yourself / Baby, don’t get greedy.” The musician is aware she isn’t willing to open up as fast as some may like, but when she does, she doesn’t want the people she’s interested in to keep pushing for more. She continues, “I see you eyein’ me down, but you’ll never know much past my name.”
Although this song refers to McRae’s hesitation to share her feelings, it also turned into something so much more. She told People, “We started writing this really sassy song about the feeling of having utter confidence being like, ‘Yeah, it takes a lot to really get me to open up.’ And it ended up feeling like this really cool female empowerment song, which I loved.”
