Tate McRae released a new sensational song, It’s ok I’m ok: it’s again about an ex, let’s discover the lyrics & their meaning.
It looks like Tate McRae broke the Internet. Again. Her new song, “It’s ok I’m ok,” has already been defined as a modern pop masterpiece, the official video went viral just hours after its release and all fans are enjoying the lyrics, promoting them as the new best answer to give when they ask how we are. The song’s meaning is pretty interesting: the singer talks to her ex’s new flame, telling her she can have him. In other words, there are many things we need to talk about: in this article, we’ll analyze the song, and you’ll also find the official video and the complete lyrics at the end. Let’s go!
It’s ok, I’m ok: the song lyrics & their meaning
“It’s ok, I’m ok” is a breezy song about our exes and their new flames: in the lyrics, Tate McRae talks to the girl dating her ex, describing what she knows about him. The song’s final conclusion, “I don’t want him, you can have him anyway,” shows her confidence about the matter.
So Tate McRae returns to the “ex” topic after Exes, the 2023 song we analyzed here. This time, the new single simulates a conversation with the girl now dating McRae’s ex. When the singer teased the song for the first time, she shared an iMessage conversation where she typed some of the song’s lines: it happened at the 2024 Lollapalooza; you can see it in this video she shared on Tiktok.
It’s okay, I’m okay, had him in the first place
It’s okay, I’m okay
You can have him anyway
Anyway
The song contains some funny lines, mentioning some of the ex’s personality traits and anticipating what will happen. After all, “she’s been there in the first place,” and if it’s true that people don’t change, history is going to repeat itself.
He ain’t just a pretty-faced talker
Good with his money, close to his mother
And she be like, “He’s so perfect”
I be like, “Oh, what version?”
The Internet has gone wild, and everyone wonders who the song is about. When the song was teased, we all knew Tate McRae was dating The Kid Laroi: the two even performed together in August 2024 at Madison Square Garden, kissing in front of their fans, proving they are happy together. So the ex Tate McRae refers to is not The Kid Laroi. We are actually not sure that Tate McRae refers to a specific ex in her song or really talked to the girl he’s dating. But the first suspect, when talking about Tate McRae’s exes, is always the same: Cole Sallinger, the ice hockey player who has dated Tate McRae for years. They broke up in 2023, and a rumor about him cheating on her has spread over the Internet, leading to a funny meme many of us recently saw.
Did Tate McRae really text Cole Sallinger’s new girlfriend, telling her she can have him? That’s unlikely, and we should probably assume that it’s just part of an intelligent marketing campaign promoting the song. One way or another, this is the real meaning of “It’s ok, I’m ok” and its lyrics: I know him very well, I know what’s going to happen to your relationship; I’m ok, I moved on, you can have him. The song will likely become a frequent answer to all young music lovers dealing with breakups: don’t be surprised if your friends will answer with a video the next time you ask them how they feel.

See you so excited
You got him locked down
You’re movin’ like I did
Before I found out
He ain’t just a pretty-faced talker
Good with his money, close to his mother
You’re seeing one-sided
You got him right now
And she be like, “He’s so perfect”
I be like, “Oh, what version?”
“Ain’t nobody got me this nervous”
Oh, baby, I been there
And right in that same position
So, baby, don’t get this twisted
No, nothin’ could make me miss it
Take him, he’s yours
It’s okay, I’m okay, had him in the first place
It’s okay, I’m okay
It’s okay, I’m okay, I don’t really gotta say
It’s okay
You can have him anyway
Anyway
You can have him anyway
Anyway
Was such a romantic
You got me like, “F–k that”
Some months and some long flights
Now I can’t go near that
And she be like, “He’s so perfect”
I be like, “Oh, what version?”
“Ain’t nobody got me this nervous”
Oh, baby, I’ve been there
And right in that same position
So, baby, don’t get this twisted
No, nothin’ could make me miss it
Take him, he’s yours
It’s okay, I’m okay, had him in the first place
It’s okay, I’m okay
It’s okay, I’m okay, I don’t really gotta say
It’s okay
You can have him anyway
Anyway
You can have him anyway
Anyway
It’s okay, I’m okay, had him in the first place
It’s okay, I’m okay
It’s okay, I’m okay, I don’t really gotta say
It’s okay
You can have him anyway
Anyway
You can have him anyway
Anyway
I don’t want him anyway, girl, take him
I don’t want him anyway, girl, take him
I don’t want him anyway, girl, take him
I don’t want him, I don’t want him
I don’t want him anyway, girl, take him
I don’t want him anyway, girl, take him
I don’t, it’s okay, it’s okay, take him
I don’t want him, I don’t want him
