It is also McRae's highest charting song on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 14.

Background and composition

In December 2022, McRae first talked about her new "era" of music, saying that she was "in the zone" for the music and determined on who she wants to be and what to do next.[2] "Greedy" signifies a "new chapter" of music to McRae.[3] It reflects on an encounter she had with a guy at a bar, who expressed that he found her mysterious. Upon reflection, McRae agreed with his impression, noting that it "takes a lot" for her to open up. She subsequently wrote "Greedy" about the "feeling of having utter confidence". She described the outcome as a "cool female empowerment song" which she loved.[4] McRae articulated that the song marks the first time people see a "feistier and more playful side" of her, being as "unexpected" as it is.[5]

The song was first teased on TikTok on August 4, 2023, by McRae and subsequently went viral on the platform[6] with over 200,000 videos made across different sounds.[7] Billboard writer, Kyle Denis, expressed that the song is a "successful example of a concerted TikTok-focused promotional plan", as it was carried to success by snippets steadily teased by McRae rather than a random trend.[7]

Music video

An accompanying music video was released on September 15, and was directed by Aerin Moreno. The visuals are set in an empty hockey arena and were seen as unlike anything McRae had released before.[8] Ensuing dance scenes with other dancers were choreographed by dancer Sean Bankhead.[9] Rolling Stone writer Tomás Mier opined that she embraced her Canadian heritage by showing love for hockey.[5]

Chart performance

The song topped the charts in Norway and Denmark, debuting at number one in both countries. It also debuted in the top ten in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithunia, Luxembourg, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, in the top 20 of the United States and the top 50 in Brazil and Italy.
