Overview
- Role Model debuted the song “Love I You” at a secret Chicago show on Thursday, July 30, and the live version includes a female response that listeners identified as Dakota Johnson.
- In an interview published Aug. 4 he told Nylon that he and Johnson are in a relationship and that she spontaneously went into the studio to record the cameo.
- The recorded bridge features a flirty back‑and‑forth—lines like “Hey, I think you’re perfect” and “You say that to everyone”—that gives fans an audible signal of their chemistry without a formal announcement.
- Pillsbury said he initially resisted mixing work and relationships but approved the cameo after hearing Johnson’s take and emphasized that he will keep most details of their private life off limits.
- The surprise collaboration arrives as his album Chuck Timely & The Hourglass is set for release on Aug. 7 and acts as both a personal reveal and a promotional moment that follows his pattern of secret shows and short social clips.
