Have Mercy

Chlöe Bailey made her solo debut with "Have Mercy," a single released September 10, 2021 through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. She co-wrote the track with Theron Thomas and Nija Charles, while production credits went to Murda Beatz, Chlöe, Joseph L'étranger, FnZ, and BoogzDaBeast. A snippet circulated on TikTok before the official release, generating early buzz.

The song blends contemporary R&B with pop, and music critic Kyle Denis described it as a "raucous and joyous ode to large derrières." It reached number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 10 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Karena Evans, shows Chlöe leading a sorority of gorgons who seduce men and turn them to stone. She performed the song live for the first time at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, earning positive reviews for her stage presence. The RIAA certified the single Gold on August 31, 2022, for 500,000 equivalent units sold in the United States.[edit]
