If there’s one thing we know about the notorious Chloe Bailey, it’s her effortless ability to step on necks and release some good a** music. The 23-year-old recently posted a seductive video on her Instagram promoting her new song, “Treat Me.” The song is an ode to body empowerment, a theme the Beyoncé protege frequents. Whether it’s receiving mentorship from one of the most famous stars in entertainment and music, or reaching her prime spot on Billboard music charts, Bailey is testing the limits of societal expectations that often look down upon or often negatively hyper-sexualize Black female artists.
“Treat Me” Video Teaser
Bailey’s single, “Treat Me” is the second solo single from the songstress, and comes after a highly anticipated teaser back in March with the caption “treat me coming soon 💎 😉.”
“You guys ever been with somebody who ain’t giving you what you need? Not putting in the work? And it’s like, you shouldn’t have to tell somebody how to treat you. You better treat me like I treat me, ‘cause sometimes it’s only being fed up, just walk away, do it yourself, get yourself some flowers, love yourself. So that’s where I am at right now.” Said Bailey on Instagram live.
“Treat Me” Looks
The body-positive arbiter is taking power back into her own hands by being unapologetically herself. From latex jumpsuits to diamond-encrusted bikinis, “The Treat Me” music video highlights themes that scream opulence and confidence.
She recently disclosed to Buzzfeed that “Sometimes, I have to stop myself from scrolling because sometimes I’ll just scroll to find one negative thing to sulk about. But that’s not healthy. I had to realize that people just wanna say something to say something. I’m 23, and I see people my age doing the same thing I’m doing, but since I’m in the public eye — and kind of grew up in the public eye — if I do what they do or if I wear what they wear, it’s an uproar.”
‘Treat Me’ isn’t the last show-stopping performance we will see from the pop star. And we are here for every waking moment of future body-positive performances we can get.
