Singer songwriter, Chloe Tang (@beefjerkybih) is back and bolder than ever with her new single, “Inspiration.” This past month, the R&B songstress shared the track as her first release since her 2024 EP POISONALITY. Known for her silky vocal delivery, Chloe Tang introduces her latest era while giving listers a glimpses of where she pulls inspiration from.
“Just picture a Pisces girl who grew up idolizing Avril Lavigne but fell in love with R&B later in life,” Chloe Tang told Remixd Magazine. “I write about wanting attention but in the same breath tell everyone to leave me alone, being an emotional wreck while telling people to shake their a**. The music is multi-layered but I guess so am I.”
Get to know Chloe Tang
Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Chloe says her musical journey is deeply rooted within her family. “My Dad always loved music, and he taught himself to play guitar and sing at a young age,” shared with Remixd Magazine. “My parents always said I had an undeniable curiosity for instruments from the moment I was born. It must be in my blood. I’ve also grown to love the other creative aspects of being an artist such as fashion and visuals.”
Her music holds inspiration from artists such as Kehlani, Doja Cat, and Avril Lavigne whom heavily inspired her as a kid. And now, her latest single “Inspiration” furthers her momentum and highlights her creative process as a rising R&B staple.
“The concept of this song actually came about when I took a step back and started to analyze my songwriting process,” Tang said. “I realized a lot of the ideas I have for songs come from people and experiences that weren’t necessarily life changing, but the memories I took away from those relationships were. Even a stranger you spend one night with can spark inspiration.”

Furthermore, “Inspiration” blends sultry beats with lyricism that explore the subtle ways strangers can spark creativity. Tang’s perspective is clear that you don’t need a deep, emotional connection to fuel the artistic process.
“It’s about not taking myself too seriously as an artist and embracing that every day interactions can be just as important to art as a huge breakup,” she says. Moreover, Chloe Tang’s latest single allows listeners to keep an open mind with influences.
Looking ahead, Chloe mentions that she is gearing up for her next release, “I could be yours,” set to drop on March 7. She hints that this upcoming single will have a “rock edge,” which she is particularly excited about exploring.
As far as the message she wants people to take from her music, she says that she wants people to feel “seen and empowered.”
“I want young girls to know it’s ok to be confident,” Chloe Tang says. “I want to make my API community proud by representing us in the music industry so that when they ask their parents if they can pursue arts as a career, there’s an example for them. Also, I want people to get more comfortable with things that are very real but not widely talked about. Sexuality, heartbreak, lust, growth … These are all concepts I wish I was exposed to growing up and now I have the opportunity to speak on them.”
As her latest track “Inspiration” sets the stage for what’s next, it leaves listeners eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Chloe Tang’s musical evolution. Stream “Inspiration” below.
