Single overview:
“Get Over Here” is a sweet mix of an early 90’s indie band mixed with 80’s synth pop.
Chloe Bailey Releases Much Anticipated Single “Have Mercy”
After several weeks of teasing the single on all social media outlets, Chloe Bailey finally released “Have Mercy.”
The single seems to be getting lots of praise, some even going as far as to compare her to Beyonce. Beyonce is a mentor to Chloe and that can be the reason behind some of the similarities and comparisons. Not only that, Chloe also stated that she likes to pay homage to her favorites while also making her own voice known.
“I’m creating my own lane, as well as paying homage to the ones who have inspired me. It has been fun finding my voice.”

“Have Mercy” is a visually stunning video. In the video, Chloe is a modern day version of Medusa preying on any man that crosses her path. Medusa being a seductress is also a pathway to explain the Chloe is fully embracing her own sexuality and making it known that she is indeed a grown woman who is proud of what she’s got.
Single Overview:
Chloe delivered a wonderful debut as a solo artist. She displayed her beautiful voice, while also demonstrating that she can rap and do pop singles. She isn’t limited to being a talented R&B artist. Chloe can definitely delve into other genres (and from what she’s confirmed – her upcoming album will have plenty more pop songs). The song is addictive with its catchy chorus and it will be almost guaranteed to be stuck in your head for days.
“It’s 90% done,” she says of the project, out on Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia, adding that she’s narrowing down the tracklist from about 50 songs. And while she says this project is “definitely more pop”
