Tate McRae's "Sports Car" got out before she could let it out. A demo was part of an early version of her third album, So Close to What, that leaked on January 16, 2025; four days later the Canadian singer named it the album's third single, captioning a teaser from the video as the bit the leak had "forgotten", and RCA released it on January 24.
She wrote it with Julia Michaels, Ryan Tedder and Grant Boutin, and Tedder and Grant produced it, with Grant adding guitar, keys and backing vocals and Serban Ghenea mixing. It's sleek electropop with a crunk swagger, and critics loved it. It debuted at 21 on the Hot 100, rose to 16, the highest of any single from the album, and went top ten in Canada, Australia, Ireland and the UK.
