Hayley Kiyoko shares new cut "Chance" to celebrate the start of Pride Month
Hayley Kiyoko has unveiled dreamy new single "Chance" to coincide with the start of Pride Month.
"Chance" follows Kiyoko's April single "Found My Friends", and was co-written by Kiyoko, Pat Morrissey, Kill Dave and Nate Cyphert, and produced by Grammy-winner Danja (Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears).
The new song was released to celebrate the start of Pride Month yesterday (1 June), and is teamed with a self-directed video starring Kiyoko and Alexandra Shipp (Love, Simon, X-Men: Apocalypse).
Kiyoko says of the new release, ""Chance" is a song based on those moments when I denied my true feelings for someone out of fear of rejection, and therefore didn't allow someone to take a chance on me. I hope this song empowers people to push past their own self-doubt and realise how worthy they are of love."
She adds of the video, "I'm always starved for hopeful queer stories onscreen, and I really wanted to direct a narrative that focused on the happier 'honeymoon' phase of a relationship, to show what can happen if we take a chance on ourselves and have that love reciprocated. The video is meant to portray those first few weeks, months, or even years when you are utterly head over heels in love with each other. I directed the video on 16mm film, alongside an incredible team of badass women - from the director of photography to the editor, and the producers. I am so grateful for the entire crew who helped bring this vision to life as well as to our incredible lead actress, Alexandra Shipp. I hope "Chance" sparks the hope that anyone can and will find the love they deserve."
Kiyoko is yet to follow up her 2018 debut album Expectations.
