29 APRIL 2026 (TORONTO, ON) — Keeping her foot on the gas this year, rising R&B-pop star Chxrry returns with her unapologetic new single “Bottles & Lights” featuring multi-platinum recording artist and R&B star Mariah The Scientist, out now via XO Records/Republic Records. Listen HERE. Arriving as a special drop for fans, the track continues the rollout for her highly anticipated debut album, U, Me, and My Ego, coming later this spring.

A long-awaited collaboration between two of R&B’s most captivating voices, “Bottles & Lights” finds Chxrry and Mariah The Scientist in undeniable form. Over a sultry, late-night groove, the friends trade razor-sharp lines and lived-in truths, delivering an anthem rooted in self-worth, standards, and emotional clarity. With standout lyrics like “real bitches back in style” and “I’m not your momma, I’ll leave ya / just like your father, I’ll leave ya,” Chxrry leans fully into her power, drawing a clear line between knowing your value and refusing to settle. Mariah complements with her signature vulnerability and storytelling, layering in real-life experiences that deepen the track’s emotional pull.

The visualiser brings the record to life with cinematic flair, following Chxrry as she glides through the city in a stretch limo, embodying effortless glamour and control, while she and Mariah turn up across a wild, high-energy night out. Juxtaposing chaos and composure, the visual spotlights Chxrry at the center of it all—unbothered, elevated, and fully in command of her world.

On “Bottles & Lights,” Chxrry doubles down on the ethos that has defined her rise: confidence without compromise. It’s a statement of identity and intention, an anthem for women who know exactly who they are and move accordingly.

The release follows the momentum of “Hall Of Fame,” which marked a bold new chapter in Chxrry’s evolution and earned praise from The FADER, CLASH, and 032c. It also arrives amid a landmark run for the artist, who has continued to build global traction with tens of millions of streams, high-profile co-signs, and standout live moments.

Continuing a major run, Chxrry kicked off the year overseas supporting Mariah The Scientist on her European tour, further cementing her presence as a dynamic global performer. It builds on the momentum of her breakout 2025, fueled by the success of “Groupie” and “Main Character,” the latter emerging as a defining It-girl anthem of the summer, earning praise from Billboard, ESSENCE, and more.

Beyond the screen, Chxrry has continued to elevate across stages worldwide, touring with FLO on their sold-out Access All Areas Tour, joining Rema onstage at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, and making standout appearances alongside Destin Conrad in her hometown. She also featured on The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow, contributing to “Reflections Laughing” (feat. Travis Scott & Florence + The Machine), and appeared in the “Cry For Me” visual. With tens of millions of streams and a rapidly growing list of co-signs, her ascent is undeniable.

Now, with U, Me, and My Ego on the horizon, Chxrry isn’t just stepping into her power, she’s defining it.

About Chxrry:
Not only does Chxrry know what she wants to say, but she also knows where she wants to go—and how she’ll get there. The Toronto-bred and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and vibe curator isn’t shy about disclosing her goals or feelings, for that matter. She’s bringing her ambitious vision to life by lacing R&B with underground grime, pop universality, and the kind of unfiltered honesty usually reserved for breakup texts or the private entries on your Notes app. However, she’s having the time of her life as evinced by her high-energy, kinetic, and sweat-soaked sold-out shows. She didn’t just wake up with this confidence though; she earned it by grinding. Growing up in Scarborough, she always sang. Eventually, she relocated to Atlanta, launched a career, built buzz, and joined the XO family as the company’s “first female signing.” She worked at a prolific pace, dropping a series of EPs and singles, touring with The Weeknd, Mariah The Scientist, and FLO, and popping out on stage with everyone from Rema to Destin Conrad. However, the grind paid off when she dropped up “Main Character” in 2025. Soundtracking the summer, it collected millions of streams and received praise courtesy of i-D, WONDERLAND Magazine, Billboard, and many more. “Main Character” opened the door for her to step into herself. Now, Chxrry lets every side of herself loose on her 2026 full-length debut LP, U, Me, and My Ego [XO/Republic Records].
