Could there be a collab on the horizon? It certainly looks like it, with Weezer tweeting in response: “Hope you want our number”.
Chilli reiterated her feelings on the track in an interview with Rolling Stone on Thursday: “When I heard it, I loved it! They did a great job. I hope we can perform it together” she said, adding that the cover proves Rivers Cuomo et al are good guys. “If they were scrubs, they wouldn’t sing the song with this type of confidence.”
