Naysayers and fans alike were reminded of the performance prowess of the legendary Lauryn Hill after she stormed the 2024 BET Awards with a medley of her greatest hits.

Meghan Trainor may be busy prepping for the Fall kickoff of her forthcoming ‘Timeless Tour‘ (designed to support of her June 14-released ‘Timeless‘ album), but that hasn’t stopped the Pop diva from lending her hitmaking pen to crank out hits for others.

Having just lent her talents to the Paul Russell-led ‘Slippin‘ earlier this month, Trainor follows by tag-teaming with singer-socialite Paris Hilton for her new song ‘Chasin.’

“What are you so afraid of? / Wasn’t I good to you? / Don’t I deserve the truth? I’m just sayin’ / What are you afraid of? / I would’ve died for you / Now I’m sayin’ goodbye to you / ‘Cause I’m done chasin’ your love,” Paris sings on the Jesse Shatkin-produced tune.

Serving as the second single from Hilton’s highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘Infinite Icon‘ (executive produced by Sia and due on digital shelves September 6), ‘Chasin’ follows the LP’s Rina Sawayama-assisted lead single ‘I’m Free.’

“Meghan’s writing paved the way for me to bring life to this track that represents self-love and confidence, and I am so happy we get to duet and call each other sisters!,” Hilton said about the new tune penned by Trainor, Ryan Trainor, Zacharie Raymond, and Yannick Rastogi.
