Chlöe Pray It Away
It’s been a long time coming, but the rollout for Chloe Bailey’s debut solo album is finally underway. Today (January 27), the project’s first single, “Pray It Away” made its mark across DSPs as the Atlanta songstress reflects on a toxic relationship that only a higher power can help her through.
As Rated R&B notes, Chlöe co-produced the track alongside ThankGod4Cody, ECassshh, Pitt Tha Kid, and Puredandy. Unsurprisingly, her vocals shine bright all through the over two-and-a-half-minute-long song, not to mention in the Madeline Kate Kann-directed visual.
“Can’t talk to my friends ’cause they hate you too / And if the option’s violence, don’t make me choose it,” the obviously scorned lover sings on the pre-chorus. “God knows my heart, I’m wildin’, wildin’ / So close to doin’ somethin’.”
As she hits every note in the accompanying music video, Bailey also expertly performs choreography by Cortland Brown.
Earlier this week, the performer revealed that her first solo album, In Pieces, will arrive sometime this March. Speaking on the work she’s put into the upcoming effort, Chlöe said, “I have been the rawest, the most vulnerable, and the most open I have been in my entire life with this album.”

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fuck nigga, fuck nigga, fuck nigga
I just learned to hate from a fuck nigga
Just start healin’
Now when I hear his name, I get more triggered
My feelings, my feelings, my feelings
They really got hurt by a fuck nigga
Damn, I waste this time for nothin’
I faked it for nothin’
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t talk to my friends ’cause they hate you too
And if the option’s violence, don’t make me choose it
God knows my heart, I’m wildin’, wildin’
So close to doin’ somethin’
[Chorus]
Maybe I should go and take it to church (Uh)
And wash it away ’cause I want that nigga to hurt
But I’ma just pray it away before I give him what he deserves first
Ah (Ah), ah (Ah)
Take it to church
[Verse 2]
I am not trippin’, I know he disloyal
Should’ve lеt him trick on me, not really love him
‘Causе when things go bad, that’s when I get crazy
And when I get angry, the gun is off safety
You know I’m not perfect, I’m no Virgin Mary
I feel what I feel so my actions may vary
That’s on my soul, I lost my halo, my halo is gone
I’m on the road
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, God knows my heart, I’m wildin’
So close to doin’ somethin’
[Chorus]
Maybe I should go and take it to church
Ooh, away ’cause I want that nigga to hurt
But I’ma just pray it away before I give him what he deserves first
Ah (Ah), ah (Ah)
Fuck nigga, fuck nigga, fuck nigga
I just learned to hate from you
[Bridge]
Lord knows I’m tryin’, I pray every night
But I can’t help that I’m messed up in the head
Tryna be saved, but you gonna need savin’
‘Cause you got someone else in my bed
Call on the Lord
Down on my knees, yeah, I’ve been here before
Don’t wanna do somethin’ that I’ll regret, I’ll regret, I’ll regret it again
Regret it, regret it again
[Outro]
So I take it to church, so I take it to church
Take it to church (Church)
So I take it to church, take it to church
Oh, oh
Take it to church, it to church
