In contrast, she believes that Rae is "grounded in confidence, sexual freedom, excitement, and liberation". [4]

The first single to be released from Rae was "Another Man's Jeans" on March 3, 2022. Ashe performed the track on May 19 on Late Night with Seth Meyers . [5] Second single "Hope You're Not Happy" debuted on May 6, 2022. [6]
