Gracie Abrams recently revealed the behind-the-scenes story of her hit single "That’s So True" during an event titled You're Invited, I’m Sorry: An Evening with Gracie Abrams, hosted by Spotify. Speaking with her friend and co-writer Audrey Hobert, Abrams let fans in on a fun, unexpected twist: there's an alternate, “vulgar” version of the track that was created on a whim during a late-night writing session at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios.
The two shared that they were a bit tipsy when they wrote the lyrics, leading to a more unfiltered and hilarious version of the song that won’t ever be released. Hobert laughingly admitted, “We were drunk when we wrote the lyrics,” with Abrams adding that this “vulgar” take on "That’s So True" would “never see the light of day.”
Abrams went on to recount a funny but slightly embarrassing moment while writing the song on the rooftop of the studio. Midway through their session, she received a message from Lee Foster, the studio manager, who informed her that Mumford & Sons were conducting an interview just above them, unbeknownst to the pair. The duo, “doubled over in tears” from laughing so hard, hadn’t realized they had an audience who might have heard their spontaneous, explicit lyrics.
Despite the unreleased alternate version, the official track has been a massive success. Since its release in October, "That’s So True" has climbed the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 13, thanks partly to its popularity on TikTok, where the song quickly went viral.
During the event, Abrams also expressed excitement over her first Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop/Duo Group Performance for her collaboration with Taylor Swift on the track “Us.” She recounted the moment she shared the news with Swift, calling the Grammy nod a “silly full circle” moment. Though she hadn’t expected it, Abrams expressed her gratitude, acknowledging the milestone in her burgeoning career.
As Abrams continues to gain recognition, fans are captivated not only by her music but also by the authentic, candid personality she shares in moments like these. The “vulgar” version of "That’s So True" may never be released, but the story behind it only adds to the charm that keeps Abrams’ fans coming back for more.
