Chloe Bailey is gearing up for a grand 2025!
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the singer and actress, 26, opens up about all she has planned career-wise in the new year.
“I’ve been more inspired than ever,” Chloe — who has partnered with Ray-Ban Meta Glasses — says. “I have a lot of exciting things coming up, so I’m just giving my all into those.”
Detailing that she is specifically “really excited to dive more into my producer bag again,” the Chloe x Halle musician continues, “In terms of production and drums and synths, it’s like my mind has opened up to a whole new world [after] experiencing different cultures and things like that.”
“So I’m really excited about getting back into my producer bag pretty deep,” she adds.

According to Chloe, she feels she is at a point in her life when she can take a step back and really focus on what matters most.
“I’m 26, next year I’ll be 27, but I still feel like I am 18 internally,” she explains. “And I feel like the younger part of my years, I took life so seriously, and now I’m at a time when I really want to focus on my happiness while I work really hard towards my goals.”

Looking back at 2024, some standout moments, Chloe says, include “releasing my second album, Trouble in Paradise,” and getting to travel around the world.
“Those are my happiest moments of this year,” she tells PEOPLE. “I feel like any moments that allow me to grow as a human being and expand my mind have been the most memorable.”
Chloe also says getting to watch her sister Halle Bailey’s 1-year-old son Halo grow is another highlight of the past year — especially since he has helped her enter her “rich auntie era.”
“I definitely feel like I’m allowing myself to feel more of a boss and not take everything so seriously, and I have to give credit to him,” she explains of her nephew, whom Halle, 24, welcomed with DDG in December 2023.
As for whether or not she and Halle plan to release more music together in 2025, Chloe teases it is on the horizon.
“I know she has a lot going on, and I’m so proud and excited for her, so I cannot wait for us to finally piece together the body of work we’ve been talking about for so long,” she says.
“At the Fashion Awards, we were able to perform together again. It felt so special … and I can’t wait to do that again with another album,” adds Chloe.
