10 Summers/Interscope RecordsChris Brown has always been one of Ella Mai’s favorites, and when they recorded the song “Whatchamacallit” for her debut album, she was shocked to discover that he was also a fan of her music.

“Working with Chris Brown was very weird and surreal to me because I’m a huge Chris Brown fan,” the singer from London tells ABC Radio. “I have been since I was like 11-years-old. So I’ve always said it in my head, like ‘Oh, I’m gonna work with Chris Brown one day.’ But, when its right in front of you, it’s like OK. Wow.”
