Chelsea recently opened up about the single and her soon-to-be-announced album with a vulnerable note on her Instagram, sharing, “the last two years have been the two most interesting, fulfilling, challenging, fun, beautiful years of my life. when i started writing this record, it felt like i was living through the end of my life as i knew it. nothing about me or my life looked the same or felt the same. the truth is that in the last two years, i’ve felt less like myself than ever and also more like myself than i probably ever have before. i got out of a longterm relationship and went off all of my medications and took real time away from touring and spent a lot of time alone with myself for the first time in my twenties and also spent a lot of sustained time at home with my loved ones for the first time in my twenties. i started taking a more proactive approach to my mental/physical health, tried lots of new things, got diagnosed with OCD, dated as an adult for the first time, said yes every chance i could, moved across the country for a bit to finish the record in california and then fell even more in love with new york from 3000 miles away.”
She continues, “the last two years have been about navigating a season of life where i didn’t feel sure about anything at all. who i was, what i wanted, what my life and career would look like. call me cliche, but i think your late twenties are for deconstructing everything and rebuilding it all with more wisdom, patience, strength, and intention. if i have learned anything, it is that it’s never really the end. it’s just the start of the rest of your life.”
Built around shimmering production and an intimate late-night atmosphere, “WHAT ELSE?” captures the electricity of undeniable attraction, transforming quiet moments into a euphoric pop anthem that feels both deeply personal and effortlessly addictive. As the chorus unfolds, Cutler sings, “Said you like my clothes on the floor of your bedroom, girl what else / And you like the things I do when I get you all to myself / And I like when you tell me things you don’t tell nobody else.”
The release builds on the momentum of Chelsea’s latest singles, which have found her embracing a renewed creative freedom after taking time away to reconnect with herself and rediscover the joy of making music. That period of reflection sparked a bold artistic evolution, one that balances infectious pop production with the candid songwriting that has defined her career.
Cutler recently teamed up with Hayley Kiyoko on their song “nobody should have you,” included on Kiyoko’s third studio album, girls like girls the album, and featured in the recently released Girls Like Girls film. The two artists debuted the song together live for the very first time at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles—watch a clip of their performance HERE.
