During an appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show,” Chlöe Bailey opened up about why her and her sister Halle Bailey started exploring solo opportunities. The singer expressed it happened “naturally” and also made it very clear that her and Halle were not at odds. In fact, Halle landed the major role of Ariel in “The Little Mermaid” which ultimately separated the two for more than eight months.
“It was really hard for the both of us, we had separation anxiety almost,” Chlöe told host Tamron Hall. “We both knew one day we’d do our own projects, we just didn’t know it would come so fast,” she confessed. While Halle was out in London filming the live-action remake, Chlöe was back home working on new music which eventually sparked the beginning of her solo career. “I just kept creating, and it just kept piling up and piling up,” she said. “I was like, well, ‘I gotta do something with it.'” According to Revolt, Chlöe released her debut single “Have Mercy” in September 2021 and within weeks it was a major hit. The music video alone has garnered over 75 million views. And, that’s not all.
The song climbed to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and also debuted on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart with a whopping 13.8 million U.S. streams. Although “Have Mercy” was a huge success, Chlöe was just getting started.
