Chlöe launched her solo debut era in September 2021 with “Have Mercy,” which she co-created with Murda Beatz, Joseph L’Étranger, BoogzDaBeast and FnZ. After peaking at No. 1 at urban radio in December 2021, “Have Mercy” was certified gold in January with more than 500,000 equivalent units sold.
Weeks ahead of her single release, Chlöe spoke with Billboard about her debut album. She mentioned that she started working on the album in late 2019 right before the pandemic hit.
“I put a pause on it so my sister and I could promote Ungodly Hour, but in between I was in my bedroom creating at night. I’d be making my own beats and working on songs and ideas for this project that I knew would come, I just didn’t know when,” said Chlöe.
At the time of the interview (Aug. 2021), Chlöe revealed that the album was “90% done” and is ““definitely more pop” than what fans are used to from Chloe x Halle, her duo with her sister Halle Bailey.
Earlier this month, Chlöe shared a snippet of her second single, “Treat Me,” which samples Bubba Sparxxx’s 2005 twerk anthem “Ms. New Booty.” A release date has not been announced for “Treat Me” at the time of this publishing.
