Today, July 1, marks Canadian singer-songwriter and dancer Tate McRae‘s birthday. We’ve been following her since her So You Think You Can Dance days, and she’s since exploded into a household name with multiple tracks in Spotify’s coveted Billions Club.
Tate herself may belong to the Cancer zodiac sign, which shows in the deeply emotional aspects of her music, but her discography is packed with tracks that are perfect for every sign. Celebrate her special day with us by finding out which of her songs should be your anthem, based on the personality associated with your sign.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): ‘ANYTHING BUT LOVE’
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, famous for its fiery and impulsive attitude and refusing to hold anything back. That’s precisely the energy we get from “ANYTHING BUT YOU,” an impersonate tirade against a person Tate despises. She’s not afraid to say precisely what she thinks as she feels every intense emotion toward a certain someone, with the exception of love.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): ‘HORSESHOE’
Tauruses have a reputation for being grounded and stable, working hard to project an image of success—even when that’s not necessarily the case. Tate covers similar ground in the twinkling pop-R&B ballad “HORSESHOE,” keeping up a facade of popularity and perfection when her personal life is actually falling apart. A Taurus can be struggling with deep sadness and most people would never know it.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): ‘one day’
Gemini is the sign of duality, literally represented by a pair of twins. They’re strong communicators with a unique ability to see situations from multiple perspectives, much like we get in Tate’s debut single “one day.” The track tells a tale of love from two different perspectives, with both the guy and the girl yearning for each other while believing the other doesn’t feel the same.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): ‘Revolving door’
Tate herself is a Cancer, known for being sensitive, moody and prone to getting stuck in the past, despite pretending to be tough and uncaring. “Revolving door” paints a story familiar to most Cancerians, returning to an old flame again and again because it’s familiar and past feelings linger, even if that relationship may be completely toxic.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): ‘Just Keep Watching’
Leos were born to be the star of the show. They love attention, getting the party started and having all eyes on them, and that’s precisely the message of “Just Keep Watching.” It feels like the song was custom-written for the sign with its sultry energy and bold lyricism about ensuring that the world is watching.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): ‘It’s ok I’m ok’
Perfectionist Virgos are highly dedicated and have a strong attention to detail, and when it comes to relationships, they can rely on logic over emotion. We associate “It’s ok I’m ok” with that sentiment, as Virgos know better than just about anyone when to leave a toxic love in the past. It’s about confidently announcing you’re over your ex, and happy to leave him behind for the next girl.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): ‘TIT FOR TAT’
Libras are the sign of balance and fairness—to the point that their zodiac symbol is a set of scales. Despite this, they’re known for being too generous for their own good, giving and giving, but receiving very little in return, much like Tate in “TIT FOR TAT.” It’s a song about someone getting exactly what they deserve—in this case, a revenge diss track.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): ‘you broke me first’
Scorpios have a reputation for never forgetting the past—for good and bad—and as water signs, they have much in common with Tate’s sign of Cancer. “you broke me first” is a poignant and emotional track about calling out an ex who suddenly comes crawling back after breaking her heart. She refuses to let him have his way, making it clear who wronged who in the situation.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): ‘Sports car’
Freedom-loving Sagittarius is always up for adventure, and they’re not keen on being tied down by anyone or anything. They’ll definitely relate to “Sports car,” a sleek and sexy track about not wanting to commit to a relationship, instead keeping their options open and pursuing romance in their own casual way.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): ‘NOBODY’S GIRL’
No one is harder-working or more career-oriented than Capricorn. They’re said to be all work and no play, just like Tate plans to be in “NOBODY’S GIRL.” The pop track is about embracing singledom and avoiding entanglements so she can focus on making her dreams come true. She belongs to no one, and she couldn’t be happier about it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): ‘greedy’
Aquarius is the most independent and eccentric sign of the zodiac, so they’ll find plenty to enjoy in Tate’s discography. That includes “greedy,” a playful and empowering track about self-love, unbridled confidence and paving your own path in life. She knows just how appealing she must be to men, but doesn’t have time for them right now, warning them not to get too caught up in their affections.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): ‘Purple lace bra’
And finally, there’s dreamy and idealistic Pisces. They may typically keep to themselves, but they’re extremely passionate about their beliefs, and we think “Purple lace bra” is precisely the type of track to get them riled up and spur them to action. It’s about the way the world perceives and judges women, demanding perfection while making it impossible to achieve it. If Pisces can relate to any message, it’s this one.
