On Friday, Chlöe dropped a music video for new song “How Does It Feel,” the second single from her upcoming album, In Pieces.

Chlöe and Chris Brown have dropped their “How Does It Feel” collaboration. The song comes one week after the Parkwood Entertainment act, legal name Chloe Bailey, announced “How Does It Feel” on social media.

“You are a beautiful soul… TAKE OVER THE WORLD SHAWTY and DONT LOOK BACK! YOU ARE A QUEEN! DONT LET NOBODY TELL YOU NO DIFFERENT! You followed your dreams and now the universe is fulfilling that manifestation,” Brown wrote in an Instagram post to Bailey.

“Can’t wait for the world to hear the magic we created,” Bailey responded in Brown’s comments section.

“How Does It Feel” was met with criticism upon the song’s announcement, with Bailey fans ridiculing Brown for his history of violence towards women.

We’re failing Black women in music if they feel like they have to collaborate with a known abuser in order to chart.

“How Does It Feel,” which samples Usher and Jadakiss’ 2004 collaboration “Throwback,” follows Bailey’s previous single, “Pray It Away.” Upon announcing her debut solo album, In Pieces, Bailey said that 2021 and 2022 singles “Have Mercy,” “Treat Me,” “Surprise” and “For the Night” featuring Latto would not be on the LP. As a member of Chloe x Halle with younger sister, singer and actress, Halle Bailey, the Parkwood Entertainment sister duo released two albums, 2018’s The Kids Are Alright and 2020’s Ungodly Hour. Set to debut on March 17, Bailey will star in Donald Glover co-created Prime Video series, Swarm.

In Pieces is slated to release on March 31.
