Background

In a press statement, McRae said, "Super stoked to be dropping 'vicious' featuring Lil Mosey. I've always been a fan of his work, so it's super dope to have a rapper like him jump on this record. Soooo excited for everyone to hear what we've been working on!!"

She also filmed the music video herself at home during isolation, which is intertwined with animations that see her transform into her alter ego and enter another universe.^[2]
