In an interview with Billboard, Chlöe mentioned that she started working on her album while her sister Halle was overseas filming the live-action version of The Little Mermaid. (Halle will star as Ariel.)
Chlöe also shared her biggest goal for her first album. “Of course, I wanna get some hits with this project. That’s always a fun thing. But I just wanna have fun and let people get to see the real me,” she shared with Billboard.
