Chanel West Coast Gallops into Country-Pop with 'Giddy Up'

Chanel West Coast is turning heads as she ventures into a new musical territory. Known for her time as the host of MTV's Ridiculousness, Chanel has been shifting gears after her 2025 departure from the show. Now, she's making waves in the music industry with her latest release, "Giddy Up," featuring DJ Flict.

The track, dropped on February 13, is Chanel's bold entry into the country-pop scene. She describes "Giddy Up" as a bridge between diverse musical worlds, aiming to resonate with fans of country, pop, hip-hop, and dance music. Chanel shared her vision through FanFix in a statement to E! News, saying, “I wanted it to feel familiar to country fans while still hitting for pop, hip-hop, and dance listeners too. It's meant to be the kind of song you put on to have a good time."

“Music should bring people together, and with 'Giddy Up,' I just wanted to make something that feels good no matter what genre you usually listen to.”

A Fresh Blend of Sounds

"Giddy Up" intricately weaves hip-hop beats with country lyrics, creating a unique soundscape. The song's catchy chorus, featuring lines like “Giddy up / Get up on that thang” and “Tighten up on them reigns,” adds a playful touch, ensuring its appeal to a broad audience.

With her innovative approach, Chanel West Coast is proving that boundaries in music can indeed be blurred. The release of "Giddy Up" marks a significant step in her creative journey, and fans eagerly await what she will bring next.
