Rodrigo and McRae have been friends for a "few years." In an October 2023 interview with "The New Hit List," Rodrigo dished on their friendship, saying, "I just always thought that she was the coolest and I really loved her music. She's so nice, and we just like really connected, and it's so awesome to have someone in this industry who I can talk to. She's just wonderful. The most genuine, kind person you'll ever meet."
Of whether they've ever been in the studio together, Rodrigo said, "You know, we haven't yet. We haven't even talked about it. Maybe I should talk about it with her. I think she's incredible, though, she inspires me. She's awesome."
