YUNGBLUD re-released his massive hit ‘Parents’, with a special twist. Dominic Richard Harrison, internationally known as YUNGBLUD,  delivered the album ‘The Underrated Youth’ in 2019, with the song ‘Parents’ being the hit song from that body of work. Recently, ‘Parents’ went viral again on TikTok: it surpassed 100,000 million streams on Spotify and was certified Silver in the UK.

The Yorkshire artist didn’t let this achievement go unseen:  ‘Parents is very much the anthem for my fan base’, Dominic explains, ‘and when I saw it was re-emerging on TikTok I asked them if I should get an artist to remix it and who should that artist be. Then it occurred to me, this song is about us, it is a celebration of individuality and a celebration of the determination of my generation so I thought f*** it, I’m going to release a record with one of my fans because this song is about my fans.’

He launched a duet contest via TikTok itself, inviting flans to write and perform their own verses of the artist’s most famous song. Totalling over a thousand entries, the rendition that got the artist’s attention was from Chloe Noone, a 19-year-old fan from Liverpool, who added to her personal anthem passionate verses about women equality. Not only Chloe was selected by her favourite artist, but she was also given the chance to professionally record her part in Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios and release the song featuring Dom himself.

Chloe described the experiences as ‘surreal. I have been a fan of YUNGBLUD for a while now but I never expected my verse in the ‘Parents’ duet to get much attention, let alone being called up by YUNGBLUD and asked to feature on the track. I honestly thought it was going to be a very long time before I was part of something this professional and legitimate. I’m so grateful to YUNGBLUD and his whole team for making my dream of being an artist see the light sooner than I expected. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!’
