Rising R&B-pop star Chxrry is back with a vengeance, kicking off her next era with the sultry and intoxicating new single “Groupie,” out now via XO Records/Republic Records. With its lush strings, seductive beat, and hypnotic vocals, “Groupie” captures the whirlwind rush of falling for someone who turns your world upside down. The track’s infectious hook and glimmering production mark another bold step forward for the Toronto-born artist.
“‘Groupie’ is a conceptual portrayal of the intoxicating and irrational obsession that hits when you first like someone,” Chxrry shares. “The masked man represents desire itself – faceless because he could be anyone, he isn’t a person so much as a feeling. Around him, you’re both powerful and undone: the star everyone wants, but also the woman who craves to be wanted by him more than anything else.”
“Groupie” follows Chxrry’s breakout hit “Main Character,” which became a defining anthem of 2025. The empowering track racked up millions of streams and earned praise from ESSENCE GU, RatedR&B, and i-D, who hailed it as “a pivotal moment in a breakout year.” The song also soundtracked viral moments from Chlöe Bailey, WNBA star Angel Reese, and Love Island winner Amaya Papaya, cementing Chxrry as a major voice in R&B-pop.
Earlier this year, Chxrry joined FLO on their sold-out “Access All Areas Tour” and took the stage alongside Rema at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. She also appeared on The Weeknd’s chart-topping Hurry Up Tomorrow, leaving a memorable voicemail on “Reflections Laughing” featuring Travis Scott and Florence + The Machine. After two acclaimed EPs — The Other Side and Siren — and standout collaborations with Offset and Mariah The Scientist, Chxrry is now readying her full-length debut album for 2026.
A boundary-breaking force blending sensuality, confidence, and emotional honesty, Chxrry continues to redefine what modern R&B-pop can sound like. With “Groupie,” she proves she’s not just the “Main Character” — she’s the whole story.
