About This Song
Gracie Abrams turned a moment of sharp-eyed frustration into her biggest global hit. "That's So True" arrived on November 6, 2024, as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of her second album, The Secret of Us. The song, co-written with Audrey Hobert and produced alongside Aaron Dessner and Julian Bunetta, rides a deceptively breezy acoustic guitar melody. Abrams delivers lines like "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you" with a mix of sweetness and bite, a trick that turned the track into a TikTok phenomenon. The clip using that lyric has appeared in over two million videos.
Chart-wise, the song was a slow burn that erupted. It peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Abrams' first number one on the Pop Airplay chart. Overseas, it topped the UK Singles Chart and hit number one in nine other countries, including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. On the Billboard Global 200, it reached number four. The song has earned gold or higher certifications in sixteen countries; in France, it went diamond.
Critics praised the specificity of the lyrics and the restrained production. Pitchfork called it "a masterclass in turning petty grievances into pop perfection." The music video, directed by Abrams and Hobert, dropped on November 13 and has over 150 million YouTube views. Maisie Peters and The 1975 have both covered the track. At the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, it won Best Lyrics.
