Chaeyoung of K-pop girl group TWICE and American duo Coco & Clair Clair is a collaboration we didn’t see coming! On Wednesday, October 25, they released the collaborative track “Pop Star — Chaeyoung Remix.”
Notably, “Pop Star” is the final track on Coco & Clair Clair’s album SEXY (DELUXE) edition. It will be released on November 10.
First announced in September, the collaboration between Chaeyoung and Coco & Clair Clair garnered interest in the industry as both acts have different musical styles.
After it was revealed that the TWICE member was listed as a featured artist, ONCEs especially were excited about the collaboration. Given that the K-pop act is known for their joyful flair while the American duo is leaning more to synth-pop.
With the remix now released, fans were treated to a very interesting collaboration as the artists sang about being a pop star.
As per the Genius website, part of Chaeyoung’s verse goes: “Hey, babe, do you want to see my perfect lifestyle? / But you better be ready, ’cause it’s gonna be wild / So thank you for feedback, thank you for your jokes / Thank you for your memes, thank you for your roasts.”
Following the release of the single, Coco & Clair Clair also released behind-the-scenes photos with Chaeyoung.

TWICE’s Chaeyoung expands her musicality
For fans of Chaeyoung, the collaboration with Coco & Clair Clair just expanded the idol’s musical portfolio.
Notably, Chaeyoung was the first member of TWICE to receive writing credits. Since 2016, the rapper-singer has contributed to many of TWICE’s songs. Among them are “Sweet Talker,” “Strawberry,” “Handle It,” “How U Doin’,” and “Celebrate.”
