Chxrry - Groupie (Official Video)
Rising R&B-pop force Chxrry is stepping boldly into her next chapter with a new single that’s impossible to shake. “Groupie,” out now, is a glossy, love drunk confession wrapped in strings, heat, and the kind of vocal performance that makes you lean in from the first second. Chxrry stretches into her higher register here, sounding breathless, enamored, and fully swept up in the haze of early obsession. By the time she hits the hook, “I’m a superstar, but baby for you I’m a groupie”, you’re already hooked too.
The track comes from a deeply intentional place. Chxrry describes “Groupie” as a portrait of that first, irrational wave of desire, the kind that turns you confident and undone all at once. The mysterious “masked man” in the visual symbolises that feeling: faceless, universal, and consuming.
If “Groupie” marks her new era, it follows a run that’s already made 2025 her year. “Main Character”, the bubbly, self crowned anthem of the summer, exploded across social feeds and festival stages, championed by everyone from Chlöe Bailey to WNBA star Angel Reese. She delivered it live to a packed crowd at ESSENCE Festival, cementing herself as a performer with real gravitational pull.
Earlier this year, she set things in motion with “Just Like Me,” which not only racked up millions of plays but also earned high heat praise from UPROXX, BET, and ThisIsRnB. Add in a run of sold out East Coast shows with FLO and a surprise appearance with Rema in Toronto, and it’s clear her momentum isn’t luck, it’s trajectory.
And the cosigns? They’re stacking up. Chxrry appears on The Weeknd’s “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” even leaving the voicemail heard on “Reflections Laughing,” and pops up in the cinematic video for “Cry For Me.”
What’s striking is how fully she inhabits her lane: smoked-out alternative R&B with pop instincts sharp enough to cut through noise. Born in Scarborough, sharpened in Atlanta, and lifted by XO as the label’s first female signee, she’s built her ascent one undeniable moment at a time, from The Other Side to Siren to the breakthrough wave that made “Main Character” a cultural checkpoint.
“Groupie” signals a new season, and if her upcoming full length debut is anything like the run she’s on, Chxrry is poised to own it.
