Chelcee Grimes drops brand new single 'Tryna Not Fall In Love' and says it was inspired by a real date
It's hard to not fall in love when your heart really wants to. British singer, songwriter, and footballer Chelcee Grimes was in the same phase when she penned down the lyrics to her latest single 'Tryna Not Fall In Love'.
Her electrifying new single follows her previous release 'Time To Talk' and explodes into life with an infectious, singalong chorus.
Drawing light on how she ended up writing about love, Chelcee said, "'Tryna Not Fall In Love' is a song about trying your hardest to not go and do what I always seem to do — fall in love!"
"I was in the studio with my friend Jamie Sellers around when I first got together with someone I was dating at the time. I was like 'naaaa I’m just having fun' but I have a big heart," she recalled.
"He was asking what was going on and I just said: 'I'm tryna not fall in love!' As soon as I said it — we both looked at each other and knew we needed to write about it," Chelcee pointed out.
The pop song has vivacious music and Grimes' voice complements the spunk really well. "Chelcee is such a talented composer and singer. This will be my new favorite song. It's very relatable and I know I'll be in a buckle with it," one fan wrote. Another commented, "What an amazing song, Chelcee, your best one so far."
In June 2018, Chelcee released her debut single 'Just Like That'. The music video was uploaded to YouTube and gained over 100,000 views in just 24 hours.
Along with her solo music, she has a long list of successful collaborative tracks with some of the biggest names in music, including Dua Lipa & Blackpink ('Kiss And Make Up'), Olly Murs ('Deeper'), Kylie Minogue ('Million Miles'), Jonas Blue ('Wild'), and Tom Walker & Zara Larsson ('Now You’re Gone').
While she is making good progress in music, did you know she is also a football player? Success for Chelcee first spilled onto the football field when she played for her hometown club of Liverpool Ladies between the age of 10 to 16, before moving on to join Everton, Tottenham, Tranmere, where she now plays for Fulham FC.
Having presented during their Women’s World Cup coverage, she has now been assigned as one of the anchors on 'MOTDX' — a brand new prime time BBC 2 football show about the lifestyle and culture of the Premier League. She’s also currently the ambassador for Barclays Women’s Super League.
