At an exclusive fan listening event in Berlin in July 2025, Tyla unveiled two songs, "Dynamite" and "Chanel". Both were originally intended for inclusion on her second extended play (EP), WWP,[3] which was described by Tyla during an interview with Variety in August 2025, as "a bridge to the album".[4] The EP was released on 25 July 2025, and featured "Dynamite" as a collaboration with Wizkid, but did not include "Chanel".[5][6]
During her set at the Global Citizen Festival on 27 September 2025, in Central Park, New York, Tyla once again shared a preview of the song.[7][8] On 15 October 2025, Tyla announced on social media that "Chanel" would be released as a single on 24 October 2025, and shared a pre-save link.[8] The song's music video was released on the same day,[9] and features Tyla wearing vintage Chanel clothing from the "early 1990s to the mid-2010s", styled by Ron Hartleben.[10]
Controversy
American rapper Yung Miami, formerly of City Girls, took to X (formerly Twitter) to accuse Tyla of stealing her song.[11] She stated: "This girl really ran off with my song, and I don't know how to feel about it. Mind you, I played this song for her", accompanied by thinking emojis, before adding, "I'm confused!". Fans commented that Yung Miami had delayed releasing her own version of the song, to which she responded, "Don't matter it's my mf song!!!" She also mentioned that she had played the track for Tyla.[12] Tyla did not respond to the claims through a public response on social media or through her representatives.[13]
