CHANEL

"Chanel" is an Afrobeat-pop track by Tyla based on the philosophical question: if love doesn't come with luxury, can we even call it love? The song is essentially "Water," but with a credit card.

Tyla told BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders that the song is "for all the girlies that not only want to be put in Chanel but also want to be treated like luxury." She insists the point isn't just literally getting designer handbags, but expressing worth, value, and boundaries. It's the 2025 pop equivalent of Aretha Franklin spelling out "R-E-S-P-E-C-T," only this time the respect comes quilted, double-C logo optional.

Ian Kirkpatrick (Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa) and P2J (Stormzy, Jorja Smith) produced the song. They both contributed to its songwriting alongside Tyla, Douglas F and Bibi Bourelly (Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money," Miley Cyrus' "Thousand Miles"). Douglas F also sings the hook, "Put her in Chanel."
