While talking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Tate opened up about the concept behind Rubberband, “Well, I’ve been writing a lot of love songs. I wanted to push myself and put myself in someone else’s shoes. And I literally wear a rubber band on my wrist every single day, because I’m a dancer, I have to, and there’s this thing when people get addicted to something or they’re try to overcome it, they have little fidgets, something that they do to distract themselves. And a lot of people actually put rubber bands on their wrist and snap it when they want something, and I thought it was a really cool concept to think about it in a love perspective like addicted to love and snapping yourself out of it every time.”

Talking about her massive success, Tate says, “I mean, amidst the fact that I was literally living in my room, working out of my room, doing things, managing school, finishing high school, it’s just been a crazy process and doing things that I never really thought I do, like performing at an award show, or some of my biggest dreams.  It’s weird now walking into January, just because I have so much music that I’ve written over the pandemic. I just can’t wait to get it out. I mean, right now I feel like all I want to do is write and work and I’ve been like that since I was eight years old.”

Tate’s You Broke Me First has managed to rack up over 635 million streams worldwide since its release.
