Coco Jones Is ‘Really Really’ Happy to Be Nominated for Best R&B Song of the Year at 2025 Grammys (Exclusive)
The singer won her first Grammy in 2024 for best R&B performance for her song "ICU"
Coco Jones is thrilled to be celebrating her music at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Speaking with PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly, the "Here We Go (Uh Oh)" singer said that she is "really really happy to be nominated."
"[I'm] happy for some of my amazing R&B fellow artists that have won," she gushed. "I'm nominated again I ain't even put my album out yet which is crazy."
Jones, 27, was nominated this year for best R&B song and best R&B performance for "Here We Go (Uh Oh)," which samples Lenny Williams' 1978 song "'Cause I Love You," but lost to Muni Long's "Made for Me (Live on BET)." Last year, she took home the Gramophone for best R&B performance for "ICU."
She added that her upcoming album will drop this summer, and says she will get the best album Gramophone one day.

She added that the MusiCares and the Recording Academy wildfire relief put together for the awards ceremony is an "amazing way to show the power of music and how we really have a great platform to do good outside of just music."
"Even though music is powerful, this is powerful too so I'm excited and proud of them."

Jones also gushed about her "fellow Disney girl" Sabrina Carpenter and is looking forward to meeting Chappell Roan tonight. "I think her world that she's built for herself is so original and dope and fearless. I would love to meet her."
Upon releasing her now-Grammy-nominated song "Here We Go (Uh Oh)," Jones told PEOPLE about entering her new era months after her 2024 Grammy win.
"I feel like so much happened that I didn't expect," she said in May. "I want to be in the moment this time instead of trying to overthink things and let the chips fall where they may."
