Yes, it's so true that Gracie Abrams has an alternate version of her recent single, “That's So True,” on her records… but you'll never hear it.
During a wide-ranging discussion with co-writer and friend Audrey Hobert on Spotify's You're Invited, I'm Sorry: An Evening with Gracie Abrams on Tuesday night (November 12), the duo opened up about writing the song after a bit of nastiness at New York's Electric Lady Studios, as seen in videos circulating on social media from the event.
“We were drunk when we were writing the lyrics,” Hobert noted, before Abrams added, “Yeah, there's a really cheesy version of 'That's So True' that will never see the light of day.”
Abrams then recalled a hilariously awkward moment when they were writing the “vulgar” version of the track on a rooftop in the New York studio. “We didn't know there was a roof over the roof until I got a message from Lee [Foster]who runs the studio, at some point,” he explained. “We were a bit drunk – in a great way, like a light, fresh way – we were actually doubled over in tears laughing so hard saying the most horrible s— in the song. Then I get a text and it says, “Mumford and Sons are interviewing right above you.” It was bad! I was like, 'Oh my God!'”
Since its release in October, “That's So True” has gained serious momentum, thanks in part to TikTok's boost in virality. The track currently sits at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Elsewhere in the interview, Abrams discussed her first Grammy nominations for best new artist and best pop group/duo performance for her collaboration with Taylor Swift, “Us,” saying she spoke with the superstar on the phone after the news. “We were like, 'This is just stupid full circle,'” she shared, adding that she didn't expect the nomination but is “very grateful.”
