She said the song is extremely \"special\" to her.

\"Whenever I sing this song, it means what it says -- it's just, I'm feeling good, no matter what,\" she said. \"It's a way that I can express myself -- no matter what the world says, no matter even on the bad days what I tell myself in the mirror, no matter what I'm feeling good. I just have to have a positive outlook on life because the birds are chirping, the sun's out and I'm feeling good no matter what.\"

Chlöe said she's also honored to be featured on the \"Liberated\" EP alongside so many other talented artists, including Yara Shahidi, Cordae, Lucky Daye, Kamasi Washington and Common.

\"Being a young Black woman, everything I do, it speaks for itself,\" she said. \"I never really have to be like, 'Oh, I'm Black.' Everyone sees it -- my life experiences -- everything reflects who I am as a Black woman, and being able to put my love and freedom for being who I am into this project was really, really fun for me.\"

She said she's been hard at work this year creating music that's made her \"the happiest.\"

\"I've been so inspired from life experiences and it's fun trying new things,\" she said. \"I can't wait for everyone to hear it. And I miss my sister ... she's in Italy, but she's killing it and I can't wait for us to be reunited. But in the meantime, I've been working on my stuff and I hope everyone likes it.\"

The Undefeated and Hollywood Records' \"Liberated / Music For The Movement Vol. 3\" EP is out now.
