1
Oh my god, I'm literally scared of all these.
2
I'm hiding behind these cards.
3
People are gonna think I'm a freak.
4
Hey cute jeans, take mine off me.
5
This is the first line in Sports Car.
6
This honestly was such a fun song to write.
7
We wrote it so quickly it was like i remember writing sports car
8
and revolving door in the same day
9
and we were just on a roll we were having
10
so much fun we were just being stupid musically it was
11
taking a lot of risks for me i mean doing a
12
whisper chorus as a pop girl in a pop song where i usually love a
13
super melodic chorus was a bit of a risk for me
14
and i didn't know what people were going to think of
15
it there was no ulterior meaning it was just a song
16
about exactly what it says i now like love performing it's
17
one of my favorites i got to work with bardia who's an unbelievable music video director
18
that feels like so long ago now
19
that i filmed this i think we had 15 different looks
20
which is insane in one music video day to pull off
21
that many we wanted to have all these different versions of myself
22
and the whole twist of the video was that i was watching it
23
and i was taking control of the narrative of my career
24
and all these different characters i could put on i I honestly don't know that many sports cars.
25
I think like a Ferrari or like a Lamborghini or something.
26
I don't know, I don't drive a sports car.
27
Oh my God.
28
Fix your fucking self, because I'm scared of myself.
29
Okay, this was in my song, Tip for Chat.
30
I love this song.
31
I remember coming out of the studio, we wrote in this little closet in Nashville, like the weirdest little spot.
32
I was exhausted.
33
I just finished a show and we had like four hours to write a song and this was so euphoric feeling.
34
I think when you 100 % get exactly how you're feeling out on paper
35
and there's no weird emotions attached to it or it comes across exactly how you want it, it's such a satisfying feeling.
36
I remember playing it for my best friend Finley right after being like, I think I like this song, but I can't tell yet.
37
I might not release it.
38
And it was Finn's favorite song.
39
He was obsessed with it.
40
And so I dropped it and it was really fun.
41
Oh my God.
42
All of these are like the most insane lyrics.
43
Like, holy shit.
44
I'm hiding behind these cards.
45
This song is anything but love off my So Close to What Deluxe.
46
This was my most unhinged song I've ever written in my life, I think.
47
Again, I wrote this with Julia Michaels who I wrote Sports Car with.
48
This was one of those songs where I was like, I want a really classical chorus.
49
I want trap beats.
50
And this again came so fast.
51
We wrote this in 20, 30 minutes.
52
She's a Sagittarius, so she's very spicy and fiery, and I'm a Cancer, so I'm very reserved and whatever.
53
And she always pushes me over the edge when it comes to lyrics.
54
Whenever I think of them, I'm like, I can't say that, and she's like, you have to say that.
55
So it was really fun.
56
It was a cool process.
57
The biggest difference between Tatiana and Tate, honestly, I think it's just the persona that I put on when I go on stage.
58
Or maybe it's just like a placebo that I've created in my head where
59
as soon as I lock into this other person, I could get on any stage and not feel a single nerve.
60
It feels like Tatiana is like every single coach I've ever had, my mom, my dancers.
61
It feels like I have like a gang up there with me like spiritually and in my like aura.
62
I feel so powerful.
63
I feel like I could do anything.
64
Thank you.
65
Okay.
66
I see you eyeing me down but you'll never know much past my name.
67
This is from Greedy.
68
I love the song.
69
I remember this time of my life so clearly.
70
It was 2023 and I felt like I was just transforming so much and I think I was 19, and I was like, I need to make big shifts in my life.
71
Like, I feel like a new grown woman.
72
I've been living in LA since I was 17.
73
And I just knew that I wanted to make pop music.
74
And I knew I had to get in with really great pop songwriters and learn as much as I could about it.
75
Gritty was one of our first swings in this album.
76
And for the longest time, I hated the song.
77
And then Tether convinced me to release it, which thank God.
78
I'm a big tweaker so I write the songs and I could go in like 20 times, 60 times and rewrite a million lyrics.
79
And for this one it initially started as obvious
80
that you want me but I said I keep to myself and I was like this is lame, like why?
81
Don't keep to yourself, you're 20, you're like having fun.
82
So then when we cracked like obvious that you want me
83
but I said I would want myself I think I was like this feels like it's radiating the feeling I wanted.
84
I have a very specific memory of me
85
and Jason Momoa on SNL doing like a little tick -tock to it
86
and I remember the song had just come out
87
and just just feel like I had like a viral song
88
and Jason Momoa was singing to it I was like this is crazy
89
and I was on SNL it was the coolest day of my life okay doesn't mess you up
90
that you had it and you lost it this is from nobody's girl this is It's such a fun song to me.
91
I wrote this coming off of my European tour.
92
I just had been spending so many weeks in the grass, in Munich, and in Vienna,
93
and all these places, and I was just very spiritually in tune.
94
And I felt like writing this song described exactly how I felt at the time, when I was just like, I feel like I should be so sad right now, but I feel very free are you still
95
nobody's girl I am that's private okay baby
96
I ain't saying you don't know me well it's just not the shit I need baby baby I just not the
97
This song was just kind of talking about how relationships feel the most impactful through actions
98
and I think really vulnerable moments and sometimes all the extra shit is like so
99
unnecessary and that's what was the premise of the song.
100
All right, this is, I can't tell if you want to kill me or if you want to kiss me.
101
This is for my song, Like I Do.
102
This was one of the last additions to my album.
103
My whole album had gotten leaked at this point, and I was like, let's just go make music by myself.
104
I don't want to meet anyone in here, and we started writing this song.
105
This was like a freestyled chorus on the mic, and then this little bit was so fun to write.
106
Just talking about that obsession feeling when you feel like someone's staring at you and you're like,
107
I literally can't tell if you want to murder me right now or if you want to be in my skin.
108
And so I think that was the idea of it.
109
about things I never met.
110
X's, this is X's.
111
All of these songs are such Hail Mary songs that happened in moments of lightning strikes of inspiration.
112
We had to finish up the album so fast after Greedy came out.
113
And I went to the studio with Tedder and I was like, I wanna write the most pop song we've ever written.
114
and we just started writing this and again it happened in like an hour
115
and a half two hours then we filmed the music video like three weeks later
116
and I remember the music video is this was
117
so fun I just felt like I was fully getting to tap into this like pop character
118
that I dreamed of in my head and pictured in my head for so long
119
god I'm literally scared of all these okay
120
if you say she's nothing to worry about then why'd you close your eyes
121
when you said it out loud um this is such a throwback this is she's all i want to be
122
i wrote this as a ballad
123
when i was 17 with greg kirsten then i remember being
124
like hey can you just like try putting electric guitars on this
125
and he did and it turned into this like big pop song It's
126
so funny to see my perspective on everything when I was 17, 18, because I was just so insecure and in my head all the time.
127
And this was a perfect depiction of how I felt at the time living in L .A.
128
I just think as you get older, you obviously get a lot more self -assured.
129
And at the time, I was just so sad.
130
I mean, I still feel like I am sad sometimes, but I was constantly, like, manifesting.
131
I felt like really.
132
negative things i try to avoid that sometimes in songwriting because i think
133
the power of your tongue is so true and what you write is so real it all comes out
134
all right now suddenly you're asking for it back could you tell me where'd you get the nerve
135
this is from my song you broke me first which i wrote when i was 16.
136
This was kind of my first big hit, which was a fever dream because I was still finishing high school.
137
I remember doing hundreds of radio interviews, like mid -math class.
138
It was just such a grind.
139
I remember I was stuck in Calgary, like being like, get me to LA.
140
This is insane.
141
And I was in my basement the whole time just doing Zoom writing sessions.
142
It was brutal.
143
I knew I just wanted to pursue this as a career and that I couldn't really do it from my home.
144
I wanted to be in with all the songwriters and the producers.
145
It wasn't necessarily L .A in particular, it was just like wanting to be in the mix and just like start my career.
146
I was so sick of high school at that point.
147
This was about, I think it was a mix between a crush I had
148
and a friend I had and it was two of them together
149
and I remember just feeling so betrayed
150
and let down by my probably ex -best friend at age 16
151
and my crush being like rejected I wrote one song in
152
LA on a writing trip came back got this song back like four months later
153
and then just dropped it like it was the simpler times
154
and I would just like write and drop just upload on Spotify immediately
155
oh see now we're finishing on a wholesome note thank god people are gonna think I'm a freak
156
okay I think about a hundred thoughts
157
and you are 99 this was the first song I ever wrote not ever like
158
but I ever wrote and published on YouTube and I was 13
159
and I titled it I wrote a song dot dot dot
160
and wrote it in 20 minutes put it online
161
and within like a week this thing had like 30 million views
162
and my parents were like what the hell is going on and it was what started this all
163
now I look back I'm like okay you were a fetus I was like I'm
164
so broken and so tortured i think it's so beautiful
165
that i literally had no fears at all about putting all
166
my feelings online for like two years during high school i think that's pretty ballsy
167
and i give props to myself for that at 13 to just be like okay let's do it

Context en achtergrond
In de video praat Tate McRae over het schrijven en uitvoeren van haar liedjes, met verhalen over creatieve processen, risico's en ervaringen in de studio. Haar dialoog is casual en energiek, met veel slangen en spontane reacties, wat het leuk maakt om te gebruiken voor het oefenen van engels spreekvaardigheid. Ze gebruikt woorden als "unhinged" en "euphoric" die nuttig zijn voor het uitbreiden van je woordenschat, en haar intonatie varieert van grappig tot gepassioneerd, ideaal om te leren omgaan met verschillende stemtoon.
Top 5 zinnen voor dagelijks gebruik
- "I think I like this song, but I can't tell yet." - Handig om je onzekerheid te uiten over een mening.
- "This came so fast." - Simpel om te beschrijven dat iets snel is gemaakt of gebeurd.
- "I might not release it." - Nuttig voor plannen die nog niet zeker zijn (bv. content delen).
- "He was obsessed with it." - Leuk om te zeggen dat iemand dol is op iets.
- "I don't know what people are going to think of it." - Gebruikt om je zorgen te uiten over anderen hun reacties.
Stapsgewijze gids voor schaduwspreken
Om schaduwspreken te oefenen met deze video, volg deze stappen:
1. Luister eerst: Luister de video een paar keer zonder te praten, let op de intonatie (bv. wanneer ze "Oh my God" zegt) en de snelheid.
2. Kopieer de klank: Pauzeer na elke zin en herhaal direct na Tate. Focus op het nazeggen van de uitspraak en de stress op woorden (bv. "unbelievable" krijgt meer nadruk).
3. Pas de stemtoon aan: Haar stem wordt soms zacht (bij "whisper chorus") en soms fel (bij "holy shit"). Probeer die variatie na te bootsen om je expressie te verbeteren.
4. Oefen met slang: Woorden als "stupid" (hier positief bedoeld) en "unhinged" zijn informeel. Zorg dat je ze natuurlijk uitspreekt, niet te formeel.
5. Herhaal: Doe dit dagelijks voor 5-10 minuten. Schaduw spreken helpt je niet alleen met engels spreekvaardigheid oefenen, maar ook met het ontwikkelen van een vloeiende taal.
Met deze methode kun je snel je verbeter engelse uitspraak zien groeien!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
