AceShowbiz - Chloe Bailey celebrated the release of her debut album, "In Pieces", by sharing a new music video for one of its tracks. On Friday, March 31, the Chloe x Halle member unleashed "Cheatback" visuals which shows her getting revenge on Future, who seemingly acts as her unfaithful partner.
The clip, which is directed by Audrey Ellis Fox, shows the reversal of Chloe smashing out the windows of a car's windshield. While tears on her cheek are erased, she sings, "I'm not gonna cry anymore/ I'm not gonna wait up at night/ I'm not gonna answer your calls/ Whenever you're down."
"I'm not gonna bleach your clothes/ I'm not gonna do you like that/ What I really, really want/ Is to cheat back," the 24-year-old continues. She later cozies up to Joey Bada$$, who plays her other "boo from the hood with some tats."
As the clip transitions, it sees Chloe and Future sitting across each other in a strip club. While some dancers tease the rapper, he still puts his attention on Chloe while lamenting, "The beauty of you, that's what do it for me/ No one above you, girl, you the best/ Should've never let you down, feelin' embarrassed."
The music video arrived the same day Chloe dropped her debut solo album "In Pieces". Future is not the only artist to make a guest appearance on the project. Chris Brown and Missy Elliott are also featured on "How Does It Feel" and "Told Ya" respectively.
When opening up about the album, Chloe shared to Essence in an August 2022 interview, "It's everything that I've been going through, all the tearing down, people underestimating, telling me I can't do it." She added, "All of those things have gone into the music."
"The album is me picking myself up and talking myself out of any little place or space that the world has tried to put me in, that people and personal relationships have tried to put me in, and even [doing that to] myself," she further elaborated. "It's me breaking free."
