Chxrry posted the official lyric video for “Phone” to her own YouTube channel at midnight on November 6, 2026, the night U, Me & My Ego (Deluxe) arrived, and the clip has passed 13,000 views in its first week. The Toronto singer, signed to XO Records and Republic Records, released lyric videos for all four of the deluxe edition new songs at once, and “Phone” has settled in as one of the set early movers. Watch the Chxrry Phone lyric video below.

Phone Sits Inside A Four-Song Second Act
The deluxe expands Chxrry’s debut album from 10 tracks to 14, adding “Big Shot” with Rema, “Like A Man,” “Phone” and “Friends Don’t Kiss” at the end of the sequence and leaving the original ten untouched. The original U, Me & My Ego arrived on May 29, 2026, a 10-track debut running about 28 minutes, built entirely with producer BELIEVVE and featuring Cash Cobain on “Badness” and Mariah the Scientist on “Bottles & Lights.” Where the album staged romance, jealousy and self-worth as a love triangle with her own ego as the third party, “Phone” updates the same subject to the object every relationship now runs through: the screen lighting up at the wrong moment, the conversation that stops when she walks in. It is the most contemporary premise on the deluxe, and the lyric format suits a writer whose songs turn on phrasing and timing, letting the words land in sync with her delivery.
A Rollout Built Song By Song
The midnight lyric-video drop was a deliberate piece of craft. Deluxe additions buried fourteen songs deep in a tracklist can disappear, so each new song got its own visual, its own link and its own comments thread on her own channel. The sequencing kept working after release night: the deluxe focus track “Big Shot” received a full official music video on November 11, five days after the lyric videos opened the campaign, and iimiTV covered the Big Shot video this week. Every new visual sends listeners back through the whole set of four, which is why the deluxe is still generating events a week later instead of reading as one Friday news.
The Deluxe Caps Her Biggest Streaming Year
The deluxe announcement framed 2026 as Chxrry’s biggest year on streaming to date, off the back of the album, the tour and the Rema connection, and the four lyric videos have functioned as the era’s closing stretch, keeping the record in circulation while the “Big Shot” campaign runs its course. That framing matters for how “Phone” should be read. This is not a leftover track being cleared out of a vault. It is one of four new recordings sequenced as a block at the end of the album, like scenes from the same film shot after the premiere, released by an artist six months into owning a debut album rather than testing whether she can hold one.
A Toronto Hometown Year Keeps Building
The deluxe closes a genuine breakout year for the Scarborough-raised singer. Chxrry spent 2026 on The Ego Tour, her first headlining run, including a sold-out hometown show in Toronto, after earlier touring with Mariah the Scientist in Europe and joining FLO on their sold-out Access All Areas Tour. She appeared alongside Rema at Toronto Scotiabank Arena before that connection became the “Big Shot” collaboration. She first emerged as Chxrry22, the first woman signed to The Weeknd XO Records, with the 2022 EP The Other Side, and shortened the name for the album era. The next hometown date on the calendar is a formal one: Billboard Canada has named her its 2026 Rising Star, with the Women in Music ceremony set for November 24 in Toronto. “Phone” is the quiet entry in the deluxe four, but its premise renews itself in every listener pocket, every day.
