"Chanel" is a song by South African singer Tyla from her upcoming second studio album A-Pop. It was released on 24 October 2025, through FAX and Epic Records, as the lead single from the album. The upbeat track blends Afrobeats, amapiano, and pop genres. Lyrically, it demands luxury treatment in a relationship, centred on the hook "How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel". It was produced by Ian Kirkpatrick and P2J, both of whom also contributed to the songwriting alongside Douglas Ford, and Bibi Bourelly.
Originally previewed alongside "Dynamite" at a fan event in Berlin in July 2025 and intended for Tyla's second EP WWP (2025), the song was further teased at the Global Citizen Festival in September 2025. The high-fashion music video, directed with vintage Chanel pieces styled by Ron Hartleben, premiered on release day. Tyla first performed it live on her We Wanna Party Tour in Tokyo in November 2025. The release also attracted attention for a public controversy in which American rapper Yung Miami accused Tyla of appropriating the concept from her own unreleased track "Take Me to Chanel", claiming she had privately shared her version with Tyla beforehand. The dispute generated significant online discussion, though Tyla did not respond publicly and no legal action followed.
Commercially, "Chanel" reached the top 20 in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Africa, Singapore, the UAE, and the UK, the top 40 in Nigeria and the top 50 in the Netherlands and Switzerland. On the Billboard Global 200, "Chanel" became Tyla's highest charting song since "Water" (2023), peaking at number 11. The song also debuted at 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her third entry after "Push 2 Start" (2024) and "Water".
