#CHAI Share Video for New Song “Maybe Chocolate Chips”: Watch

CHAI have shared the latest single from their forthcoming LP WINK. It’s called “Maybe Chocolate Chips” and it features Chicago artist Ric Wilson. The band have also shared a colorful, collage-style video animated by Callum Scott-Dyson. Check it out below.

“Maybe Chocolate Chips” is a self-love song about bassist/lyricist YUUKI’s moles, according to a press release. “Things that we want to hold on to, things that we wished went away,” she began. “A lot of things happen as we age and with that for me, is new moles! But I love them! My moles are like the chocolate chips on a cookie, the more you have, the happier you become! and before you know it, you’re an original♡”

The band added:

This music video is the perfect visual for “Maybe Chocolate Chips.” It was our first time working with Callum and the result (animation, etc.) was something we’d never tried before! Callum actually reached out to us for this but we loved how his work featured grotesque but cute components and tons of fantasy so our vision for this was in line. ♡⭐️^o♡ Your mole is actually a Chocolate Chip! But you knew that already right?!♡⭐️♡

WINK is out May 21 on Sub Pop, marking the follow-up to the band’s 2019 debut PUNK. CHAI have already shared WINK singles “Donuts Mind If I Do” and “ACTION.”
