There’s something undeniably special about music that feels like it was written just for you—the kind that plays like your inner monologue set to soft indie guitar and just the right dose of melancholy. Enter Chloe Charlotte, the Manchester-born singer-songwriter who’s been quietly tugging at heartstrings across 80+ countries (yes, the “Chlovers” are growing fast). Her latest release, cool about it, is the kind of song that gets under your skin in the best way—wistful, vulnerable, and deeply human.


At first listen, cool about it might come across like a breezy, sun-drenched indie tune made for a long walk or a drive with nowhere to be. But listen closer, and you’ll find a lyrical honesty that hits harder than you'd expect. The song is Chloe grappling with something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: “Why do I still care about this, even when everyone says I’m fine?” There’s a line—“Mom tells me I’m okay, but it still keeps me up at night”—that feels ripped straight from a late-night text to a friend you’re too embarrassed to send.


But cool about it isn’t just about heartbreak or anxiety. It’s about becoming. Chloe sings of wanting to take a break from the endless overthinking and just go. To be adventurous. To live more freely and not be shackled by what’s holding her back. “I’ll make it somehow,” she sings with quiet confidence. It’s not just wishful thinking—it’s a promise to herself.



If you’ve followed Chloe Charlotte’s journey, you already know she has a talent for capturing the intricacies of relationships and the awkward in-betweens of early adulthood. Her music doesn’t scream for attention—it gently taps you on the shoulder and whispers, “Hey, I feel that too.” And cool about it is no exception. It’s a sonic sigh of relief, a song for anyone trying to shake off self-doubt and just be.


Fans—affectionately known as the Chlovers, a nod to Chloe’s old nickname—have already embraced the song with open arms. Whether it’s being added to breakup playlists or mood-boosting morning rotations, cool about it is finding a place in people’s lives, just like Chloe always intended.


And if this track is a sign of what’s to come, Chloe Charlotte isn’t just someone to keep an eye on—she’s someone to keep close. Because in a world where being “cool about it” often means hiding how you really feel, Chloe’s here to remind us that it’s okay not to be. Sometimes the most freeing thing you can do is admit you're not over it… and then sing about it anyway.
