"Truth Is" (stylized in all lowercase) is a track deeply rooted in the creative process behind McRae's 2023 album, Think Later . Intended for the album, the song was ultimately cut from the final tracklist for reasons that remain unknown. This places it in a long list of songs that almost made it onto the album, which also includes tracks like "Infatuated," "Unrealistic," and "Didn't, " all of which were left on the cutting room floor.
The song builds to an unflinching, repeated condemnation in the post-chorus: "Truth is you're a liar." This repetition solidifies the central theme of the track, moving from a place of confused hurt to one of definitive realization. It's a classic McRae narrative—detailed, personal, and resonating with a sense of authentic, youthful disillusionment. tate mcrae truth is unreleased from think la
