Born March 4th, 1995 as Chlöe Howells, she grew up in the small village of Holyport. As a child, she became interested in music through hip-hop mix CDs and artists like Alicia Keys. Howl left school at age 16, and signed a deal with Columbia Records shortly thereafter.
In March 2013, she released her first EP, Rumour for free on Soundcloud, followed over the year by No Strings and Paper Heart. In March 2014, those titular songs were consolidated into one EP called Rumour EP. Working with Eg White to produce her debut album, she says that "all my songs are about being a bored teenager, 'cos I am one".
In 2014, she was nominated for the BBC Sound of 2014 and a BRIT Award for Critic's Choice.

Chlöe Howl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want to close my eyes, not watching you leave
So hold me closer, hold on tight
We can stay in this moment (Moment)
And I'm hoping this night is over
'Cause if I fall asleep, I'd be without you
I don't want to miss you,
Miss a thing by giving into this moment (Moment)
So fight the feeling, fight the feeling
Don't let the night win, let the night win
When I keep losing sleep with you, with you, with you (With you)
In the morning we can keep pretending
'Cause there's nothing happy about a story ending
So I want to keep it, freeze the frame,
We ain't moving for no one (No one, no one)
Lying here with you I feel the power
And I can never know enough about you
So why are we chasing, chasing down?
Let's get high on this moment (Moment, moment)
So fight the feeling, fight the feeling
Don't let the night win, let the night win
When I keep losing sleep with you, with you, with you (With you)
When I keep losing sleep with you, with you (With you)
Stop time, it's a picture, we're captured
So what can we do? What can we do?
Wrap me 'round your finger
I'm wasting the moonlight for you, moonlight for you
So fight the feeling, fight the feeling
Don't let the night win, let the night win
When I keep losing sleep with you, with you (With you)
So fight the feeling, fight the feeling
Don't let the night win, let the night win
When I keep losing sleep with you, with you, with you
In the song "Losing Sleep" by Chlöe Howl, the lyrics portray an intimate moment between two people who are reluctant to let the night end. The singer doesn't want to close her eyes and watch the other person leave. Instead, she asks him to hold her tighter and live in the moment with her. She doesn't want to fall asleep and miss anything because, in this moment with him, she feels a powerful connection. The singer repeatedly asks the other person to "fight the feeling" of letting the night end because she does not want it to win. She wants to stay in this moment forever.
In the morning, the singer wants to keep pretending that the night never ended because there's nothing happy about a story ending. She wants to freeze the frame and not move for anyone. She feels like she's wasting the moonlight if she's not with the other person. The title of the song "Losing Sleep" comes from the idea that the singer would rather spend sleepless nights with the person she loves than lose a single moment with him.
Overall, the lyrics depict the powerful emotions that come with being in love and the desire to hold onto it for as long as possible. It emphasizes the importance of cherishing the moments we have with the people we care about.
