Paris Hilton and Meghan Trainor announce “truly iconic” collab ‘Chasin”

Paris Hilton and Meghan Trainor are teaming up for a “truly iconic” collaboration titled ‘Chasin”.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Hilton and Trainor announced the new single, which will feature on Hilton’s upcoming sophomore album ‘Infinite Icon’. The song is due for release on July 26, and is being co-produced by Sia.

Trainor revealed that she began writing the track “years ago and knew I had to save it for someone very special. Paris brought it to a whole new level. I can’t believe I get to be friends with her.”

Paris added: “[Meghan] put into words an experience that was so true for me; that time in your life when you find the confidence, power, and self-love, to walk away from toxic relationships and move forward with your life.”

Trainor also said of her relationship with Hilton: “She is the sister I always needed and when she calls me sis, I die of happiness inside. We made something truly iconic together and it was a bucket list dream come true for me.”

‘Infinite Icon’ will be released on September 6 via Hilton’s own production company, 11:11 Media, and is being executive produced by Sia.

The album has already been previewed by one single, ‘I’m Free’, with Rina Sawayama. ‘Infinite Icon’ comes 18 years after the release of Hilton’s 2006 debut album ‘Paris’, hosting her biggest song to date, ‘Stars Are Blind’. She first mentioned working on her second album in 2017, telling Time Magazine that it was inspired by the sounds of “deep house, techno-pop and electro-pop”.

The pop culture icon and socialite hinted at her musical comeback in December 2022 when she re-released her debut single, now titled ‘Stars Are Blind (Paris’ Version)’ in December 2022. She further teased her return by singing the upbeat pop song with Miley Cyrus and pop hitmaker Sia at Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve concert in Times Square.

In October 2023, Hilton spoke to NME about her creative process behind the album. “Music has always been such a huge part of my life,” she began. “I love DJing all around the world and at the biggest music festivals and having my concerts, but singing is something that I just love to do and I’m so proud to be in the studio.”
