Chxrry (formerly Chxrry22) is gearing up for a landmark year.
The rising R&B-pop force has announced her debut album, U, Me & My Ego, will arrive May 29 via XO Records/Republic Records.
“U ME & MY EGO the album pre-save now,” she captioned on Instagram, with a video teaser featuring the album’s title scrolling across Toronto’s CN Tower. A release date has not been confirmed yet.

As fans anxiously await her full-length project, Chxrry has unveiled her new single “Hall of Fame.” Produced by close collaborator Believve, “Hall of Fame” is driven by an electropop-leaning beat that recalls the early 2010s, when R&B often mingled with EDM.
Chxrry brings her Aries energy and confidence to the high-octane track, where she claims victory with a love interest, clearing the field of any contenders. She sings: “Don’t need a weekend or a reason / Imma take it higher than the CN tonight / Don’t give a f**k bout who you seeing / Could’ve been anywhere but you with me tonight.”
“Hall of Fame” is a windows-down, shout-along bop; it’s the song you blast with friends on the way to conquer the night.
“Hall of Fame” follows a series of single releases in 2025: “Groupie,” “Main Character” and “Just Like Me.” All four tracks are expected to appear on U, Me & My Ego, though a final tracklist has not been revealed.
U, Me & My Ego will follow Chxrry’s 2023 EP, Siren. The project includes “Favorite Girl” featuring Offset, “More” and “Never Had This.” Siren marked a shift in sonic direction from her debut EP, The Other Side (2022).
Chxrry told Rated R&B, “I didn’t even have a mindset for The Other Side. I was like, ‘God, I hope this works.’ With The Other Side, I was definitely more unsure and more hungry. I didn’t have that confidence.” She added, “Making Siren was a lot easier and fun because I got to be myself and tell all the fun stories that I wanted to tell without the pressure of, ‘Am I gonna make it?'”
Chxrry is the first woman to sign to The Weeknd‘s XO Records. She supported the global superstar on the Australian leg of his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour. She also makes a cameo on “Reflections Laughing” from his No. 1 album Hurry Up Tomorrow.
